IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17986809 titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a method for filter processing in which a filter coefficient is applied to each pixel in a specific section of an image. The weighting for each pixel is determined in such a way that the center of gravity of the weighting gradually shifts in the main-scanning direction.

  • The method involves setting a filter coefficient for each pixel in a sub-scanning direction.
  • The weighting for each pixel is determined so that the center of gravity of the weighting gradually shifts in the main-scanning direction.
  • This method is applied to a predetermined section of the main-scanning direction in an image.

Potential Applications

  • Image processing and enhancement in various industries such as photography, video editing, and computer vision.
  • Noise reduction and image denoising algorithms.
  • Edge detection and sharpening techniques in image processing.

Problems Solved

  • The method addresses the issue of uneven weighting distribution in filter processing.
  • It solves the problem of having a fixed center of gravity for the weighting in the main-scanning direction.
  • The method provides a gradual shift in the center of gravity, resulting in improved image filtering.

Benefits

  • Improved image quality and clarity by applying a more balanced weighting distribution.
  • Enhanced noise reduction and denoising capabilities.
  • Increased flexibility and adaptability in filter processing algorithms.


Original Abstract Submitted

In filter processing, a filter coefficient for which a weighting has been set is used for each of a plurality of pixels in a sub-scanning direction in a predetermined section of a main-scanning direction and the weighting for each of the plurality of pixels is determined such that a center of gravity of the weighting shifts in the main-scanning direction gradually from one end of the predetermined section to the other end.
