  • Page 94: Scanner Terms

    Service Guide IQ / IQ Quattro Scanner Terms Activation Code Is the when the product specific License code has been pared with a Scanner serial no. AdaptiveThresholding Advanced 2-D Adaptive Thresholding estimates the background gray level in a window area around each pixel. The difference between the actual pixel value and the background is then compared to the adaptive settings to determine if a pixel is thresholded as a black or a white pixel.
  • Page 95 Service Guide IQ / IQ Quattro Black Level The Black Level is a setting in scan programs used to change dark graytone colors to true black. For example, if one is copying a brochure with a mixture of text and pictures, the text will often be digitized to a color that we may see as black but really is a dark graytone.
  • Page 96 Service Guide IQ / IQ Quattro Centre Internationale d’Eclairage (CIE) is an international organization that establishes methods for measuring color. These color standards for colormetric measurements are internationally accepted specifications that define color values mathematically. The first color space model, the CIE xyz, was developed in 1931. CIE defines color as a combination of three axes: x, y,and z.
  • Page 97 Service Guide IQ / IQ Quattro Density units Photographers and printers measure transmission in base-10 logarithmic density units, where transmission of unity corresponds to a density of 0, transmission of 0.1 corresponds to a density of 1, transmission of 0.01 corresponds to a density of 2, and so on. Density The light stopping ability of a film.
  • Page 98 Service Guide IQ / IQ Quattro Edit Modify an entry using standard Windows text-editing techniques. Emulsion The light sensitive silver, coated on the clear acetate film base, that forms the photograph when a picture is taken and the film is developed. Equalizing Distributing all color or tone equally along a density range.
  • Page 99 Service Guide IQ / IQ Quattro Hardware id Is a uniqe id no for the scanner, based on the scanneres serial no and MAC address. Highlights The lightest part of a picture--reproduced as white on the screen or when printed. Histogram A bar graph representing the statistical distribution of Graytones or colors in an image.
  • Page 100 Service Guide IQ / IQ Quattro JPEG A compressed file format for images. Named after the Joint Photographic Expert Group, JPEG images feature small file size and speed, but lower quality than other formats. License Code is the product/model specific code that the Customer recives with his Scanner (base model). Loosless Compression File compression and subsequent de-compression without any loss of data.
  • Page 101 Service Guide IQ / IQ Quattro Palette The set of colors available for an image. PICT A file format for pictures used primarily on the Macintosh. Pixels Per Inch (ppi) A measurement of resolution for scanners, where the individual element is a square picture element (pixel). Pixels The word pixel is a combination of the two words picture and element.
  • Page 102 Service Guide IQ / IQ Quattro Rotate To turn the picture left (clockwise) or right (counterclockwise) from the orientation in which it was scanned. Runlength Encoding A method of compressing raster or bitmap data by representing “runs” of white or black dots along a scanned line as the number of dots in each run. Many variations of this scheme exist, with varying compression efficiency.
  • Page 103 Service Guide IQ / IQ Quattro Sharpness An attribute of a scanned image and also an attribute of scanner quality. SRGB Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft proposed the addition of support for a standard color space, sRGB, within the Microsoft operating systems, HP products, the Internet, and all other interested vendors.
