Feature detection edge enhancement mechanism

At least one computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by one or more processors, cause the processors to:

• perform feature detection processing to identify a plurality of edge pels within a plurality of pels in a continuous tone image (CTI);
• assign one of a plurality of pel edge symbols to each of the plurality of identified edge pels within the CTI;
• and
• perform edge pel processing and nozzle compensation for each of the identified edge pels to generate final pel values by modifying pel values for the identified edge pels with edge enhancement compensation data corresponding to the indicated edge type and with corresponding nozzle compensation data.

A method comprising:

• performing feature detection processing to identify a plurality of edge pels within a plurality of pels in a continuous tone image (CTI);
• assigning one of a plurality of pel edge symbols to each of the plurality of identified edge pels within the CTI;
• and
• performing edge pel processing and nozzle compensation for each of the identified edge pels to generate final pel values by modifying pel values for the identified edge pels with edge enhancement compensation data corresponding to the indicated edge type and with corresponding nozzle compensation data.
