Extending the Clapper-Yule model to rough printing supports

The Clapper-Yule model is the only classical spectral reflection model for halftone prints that takes explicitly into account both the multiple internal reflections between the print-air interface and the paper substrate and the lateral propagation of ligh ...

A simulator for adaptive parallel applications

Roger Hersch, Basile Schäli, Sebastian Gerlach

Dynamically allocating computing nodes to parallel applications is a promising technique for improving the utilization of cluster resources. Detailed simulations can help identify allocation strategies and problem decomposition parameters that increase the ...

Angular Color Prediction Model for Anisotropic Halftone Prints on a Metallic Substrate

Roger Hersch, Lin Yang, Petar Pjanic

Under specular reflection, non-isotropic halftones such as line halftones printed on an ink-receiving plastic layer superposed with a metallic layer change their colors upon in-plane rotation of the print. This color change is due to the orientation-depend ...

Ink thickness variations for the control of color printers

Roger Hersch

The present invention proposes a method and a computing system for deducing ink thickness variations from spectral reflectance measurements performed on a printing press or on a printer. The computed ink thickness variations enable controlling the ink depo ...

Beating Shapes Relying on Moire Level Lines

Roger Hersch, Sylvain Chosson

We consider the problem of obtaining a recognizable shape as superposition moire of two line gratings. The method we propose generates moire lines located between the shape foreground and background centers and the shape boundaries. Upon relative displacem ...

The role of Fourier theory and of modulation in the prediction of visible moiré effects

Roger Hersch, Isaac Amidror

Modern moiré theory is largely based on the Fourier approach. And yet, it seems that the Fourier theory by itself cannot answer all questions related to moiré effects. We present some visible phenomena in the superposition of periodic structures (such as l ...

Deducing Ink Thickness Variations by a Spectral Prediction Model

Roger Hersch, Thomas Bugnon, Safer Mourad

Most existing techniques for regulating the ink flow in offset presses rely oil density measurements carried out oil specially printed patches. In the present contribution. we develop a methodology to deduce ink thickness variations from spectral measureme ...

Synthesis of superposition images for watches, valuable articles and publicity

Roger Hersch, Sylvain Chosson

The present invention aims at synthesizing superposition images formed either by band moire shapes or by shape level lines for making the information forwarded by valuable articles or by time pieces such as watches and clocks more dynamic, as well as for i ...

Hiding patterns with daylight fluorescent inks

Roger Hersch, Romain Rossier

We propose a method for hiding patterns within printed images by making use of classical and of two daylight fluorescent magenta and yellow inks. Under the D65 illuminant we establish in the CIELAB space the gamut of a classical cmyk printer and the gamut ...

Authentication of documents and articles by moire patterns

Roger Hersch, Sylvain Chosson

The present invention relies on the moiré patterns generated when superposing a base layer made of base band patterns and a revealing line grating (revealing layer). The produced moiré patterns comprise an enlargement and a transformation of the individual ...

Compositional reflectance and transmittance model for multilayer specimens

Roger Hersch, Mathieu Hébert

We propose a compositional model for predicting the reflectance and the transmittance of multilayer specimens composed of layers having possibly distinct refractive indices. The model relies on the laws of geometrical optics and on a description of the mul ...

Calibrating the ink spreading curves enhanced Yule-Nielsen modified spectral Neugebauer model with the two-by-two dot centering printer model

Roger Hersch, Romain Rossier

The Yule-Nielsen modified spectral Neugebauer model enhanced for accounting for ink spreading in the different ink superposition conditions (EYNSN) requires measuring the reflectances of halftone calibration patches in order to compute the ink spreading cu ...

Synthetic electronic video containing a hidden image

Sabine Süsstrunk, Roger Hersch, Mahmut Sami Arpa

We present a method for hiding images in synthetic videos and reveal them by temporal averaging. We developed a visual masking method that hides the input image both spatially and temporally. Our masking approach consists of temporal and spatial pixel by p ...

High-resolution 1D moirés as counterfeit security features

Jürgen Brugger, Roger Hersch, Katrin Sidler Arnet, Victor Javier Cadarso Busto, Sylvain Chosson

A moire is an interference pattern that appears when two different periodic structures are overlaid. The image created is extremely sensitive to small variations in the original layers and is thus very interesting for anti-counterfeit protection. We presen ...

An Ink Spreading Model for Dot-On-Dot Spectral Prediction

Roger Hersch

Due to increasing printing accuracies and the possibility of printing several droplets at the same pixel location, there is a renewed interest in dot-on-dot printing models. In the present contribution, we improve a dot-on-dot spectral prediction model rel ...
