Description

图像数据处理系统及其相关方法Image data processing system and related method

技术领域 technical field

本发明提供一种数据处理系统以及其相关方法，尤其指一种可应用于热传感打印装置的数据处理系统及其相关方法。  The present invention provides a data processing system and its related method, especially a data processing system and its related method which can be applied to a thermal sensing printing device. the

背景技术 Background technique

一般的打印机在打印不同颜色的色带时，常因为打印机所使用的各颜色的染料的张力有所不同，而使得每一种颜色的染料打印出来的结果长度不一，导致实际打印出来的图像位置无法对齐在预设的位置上。举列来说，公知的热传感打印机所处理的四色带黄、洋红、靛蓝与黑(YMCK)中，黑色的染料的张力会较其他黄、洋红以及靛蓝染料的张力来得大，因此当热传感打印机在机构上的条件不变时，例如打印机热传感的温度均一样时，使用到黑色染料的图像就会无法对齐在预设的位置上，而会扩张到比预设位置更广的区域。请参考图1，图1所示为公知热传感打印机所打印出来的打印区域10中图像不对齐的示意图。在公知的领域中，黄、洋红以及靛蓝染料的张力几乎是一样的，因此在图1的打印区域10中，黄、洋红以及靛蓝图像的染料都会落在预设的图像范围11、12、13内，而黑色图像的染料则会因为染料张力较大而偏出其预设的图像范围14之外(如虚线部份所示)。因此，对于公知技术来说，当发生图像的染料无法对齐在预设的位置上时都是采用机构上调整打印机的纸张进纸速度，即调整打印机送纸马达的速度，来调整黑色染料进行热传感的时间，如此就可以控制黑色染料的张力，而使得黑色染料无法扩张到其预设图像范围之外。然而，在机构上调整打印机的纸张进纸速度非常的耗时以及精准度有限，因此如何提供较佳的调整校正机制便成为一重要课题。  When a general printer prints ribbons of different colors, it is often because the tension of the dyes of each color used by the printer is different, so that the lengths of the dyes printed by each color are different, resulting in the actual printed image. The position cannot be aligned with the preset position. For example, in the four-color yellow, magenta, indigo and black (YMCK) processed by the known thermal sensor printer, the tension of the black dye will be larger than that of other yellow, magenta and indigo dyes. When the mechanical conditions of the thermal sensor printer remain the same, for example, when the temperature of the thermal sensor of the printer is the same, the image using black dye will not be aligned at the preset position, but will expand to more than the preset position wide area. Please refer to FIG. 1 . FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of image misalignment in a printing area 10 printed by a conventional thermal sensor printer. In the known field, the tensions of yellow, magenta and indigo dyes are almost the same, so in the printing area 10 of FIG. , and the dye of the black image will deviate from its preset image range 14 (as shown by the dotted line) due to the high tension of the dye. Therefore, for the known technology, when the dye of the image cannot be aligned at the preset position, the paper feed speed of the printer is adjusted by the mechanism, that is, the speed of the printer paper feed motor is adjusted to adjust the black dye for heating. Sensing time, so that the tension of the black dye can be controlled so that the black dye cannot expand beyond its preset image range. However, adjusting the paper feeding speed of the printer mechanically is very time-consuming and has limited accuracy, so how to provide a better adjustment and correction mechanism has become an important issue. the

具体实施方式 Detailed ways

请参考图2，图2为本发明第一实施例的数据处理系统100的示意图。数据处理系统100包含有一数据处理模块101以及一打印模块102。数据处理模块101用来接收一输入图像数据Din，并使用至少一定标(scaling)参数Da调整对应至少一特定颜色(例如黑色的数据Dk)的数据以产生对应输入图像数据Din的一打印数据Dp；以及打印模块102耦接于数据处理装置101，用来接收打印数据Dp并依据打印数据Dp进行打印操作。本实施例中，数据处理模块101包含有一转换单元101a，用来依据打印模块102所使用的一色盘(color plane)来将输入图像数据Din从一第一格式转换为一第二格式以产生一转换后图像信号Dt；以及一调整单元101b，耦接于转换单元101a，用来接收转换后图像信号Dt，并依据定标参数Da调整转换后图像信号Dt中对应该特定颜色(例如黑色)的数据Dk，以产生打印数据Dp。请注意，为了更清楚描述本发明的精神所在，在本实施例明数据处理系统100中，该第一格式以一包含有红、青、蓝(RGB)的格式以及该第二格式以一包含有黄、洋红、靛蓝与黑(YMCK)的格式来作为说明，因此打印模块102所使用的该色盘即为包含有黄、洋红、靛蓝与黑(YMCK)的格式。然而，本发明并不以此为限；换句话说，该第一格式以及该第二格式可以是任何一种图像的格式。另一方面，本实施例的数据处理系统100中的打印模块102为一热传感打印模块，而由于热传感打印模块为公知技术，因此不另赘述。  Please refer to FIG. 2 , which is a schematic diagram of a data processing system 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The data processing system 100 includes a data processing module 101 and a printing module 102 . The data processing module 101 is used to receive an input image data D in , and use at least a certain scaling parameter D a to adjust the data corresponding to at least one specific color (such as black data D k ) to generate the corresponding input image data D in a printing data Dp ; and a printing module 102 coupled to the data processing device 101 for receiving the printing data Dp and performing a printing operation according to the printing data Dp . In this embodiment, the data processing module 101 includes a conversion unit 101 a for converting the input image data D in from a first format to a second format according to a color plane used by the printing module 102 to generating a converted image signal D t ; and an adjustment unit 101 b coupled to the conversion unit 101 a for receiving the converted image signal D t and adjusting the converted image signal D t according to the scaling parameter D a data D k of a specific color (eg, black) to generate print data D p . Please note that in order to describe the spirit of the present invention more clearly, in the data processing system 100 in this embodiment, the first format is a format containing red, cyan, blue (RGB) and the second format is a format containing There is a format of yellow, magenta, indigo and black (YMCK) for illustration, so the color wheel used by the printing module 102 is the format including yellow, magenta, indigo and black (YMCK). However, the present invention is not limited thereto; in other words, the first format and the second format may be any image format. On the other hand, the printing module 102 in the data processing system 100 of this embodiment is a thermal-sensing printing module, and since the thermal-sensing printing module is a known technology, it will not be described in detail.

当数据处理模块101接收到该包含有红、青、蓝(RGB)的该第一格式的输入图像数据Din时，转换单元101a会将输入图像数据Din从该第一格式转换为该包含有黄、洋红、靛蓝与黑(YMCK)的该第二格式，以输出一转换后图像信号Dt(包含分别对应至黄色、洋红色、靛蓝色与黑色的数据DY、DM、DC、DK)，这是因为本实施例中的打印模块102仅能接受该包含有黄、洋红、靛蓝与黑(YMCK)的该第二格式的数据以便进行打印。然而，由于热传感打印装置在对每一种色带进行打印时，每一种色带所需要的热传感打印条件并不完全一样，尤其是其中的黑色和其他的黄、洋红、靛蓝的热传感打印条件差别最大。换句话说，如果打印模块102在进行热传感打印时所设定的条件均为一样的话，则打印出来的黑色部份就会无法精确地处于预设的位置，其原因如上所述。因此，数据处理模块101内的调整单元101b就会对所需打印的黑色进行调整，在实际操作上，数据处理系统100的制造商在制造过程中会先进行测试打印，并找出所需打印的黑色部份的偏移量之后，再求出相对于黑色的定标参数Da；由于求出定标参数Da的过程为本领域技术人员所周知，因此在此不另赘述。请参考图3，图3所示为图2所示的打印模块102所打印出来的打印区域200 的示意图。在打印区域200中的实线202内的部份为黑色所需填满的部份，而虚线图样203为未调整黑色的数据DK下进行热传感打印时的打印结果。因此，定标参数Da就可被设定在调整单元101b内，而在每一次的热传感打印时，调整单元101b就会依据定标参数Da调整转换后图像信号Dt中对应黑色的数据Dk，而该调整后的数据Dkk在打印模块102进行热传感打印时就会使相对应的输出图样精确地打印至预设的位置，即图2中的实线图样202内，对于其他的黄、洋红、靛蓝所分别对应的图像图样204、205、206而言，其打印输出则不受影响。换句话说，在本实施例中，数据处理系统100只会对黑色的数据DK进行调整，以拉长(或缩短)打印出来黑色数据DK的图像染料长度。然而，请注意，本发明并不局限于仅对黑色进行调整，而对其他的黄色、洋红色或靛蓝色的数据Dy、Dm、Dc一并调整，或对所有颜色所对应的数据同时进行调整，均为本发明所属的范畴，举例来说，在另一实施例中，数据处理系统100亦可以另对黄、洋红、靛蓝的数据进行调整，以拉长(或缩短)打印出来黄、洋红、靛蓝数据的图像染料长度。  When the data processing module 101 receives the input image data D in of the first format containing red, blue and blue (RGB), the conversion unit 101 a will convert the input image data D in from the first format to the The second format including yellow, magenta, indigo and black (YMCK) to output a converted image signal D t (comprising data D Y , D M , D C , D K ), this is because the printing module 102 in this embodiment can only accept the data in the second format including yellow, magenta, indigo and black (YMCK) for printing. However, since the thermal sensing printing device prints each color ribbon, the thermal sensing printing conditions required by each color ribbon are not exactly the same, especially the black and other yellow, magenta, indigo, etc. The thermal sensor printing conditions vary the most. In other words, if the conditions set by the printing module 102 are the same when performing thermal sensing printing, the printed black part will not be precisely at the preset position, and the reason is as described above. Therefore, the adjustment unit 101 b in the data processing module 101 will adjust the black color required for printing. After the offset of the printed black part, the calibration parameter D a relative to black is obtained; since the process of obtaining the calibration parameter D a is well known to those skilled in the art, it will not be repeated here. Please refer to FIG. 3 , which is a schematic diagram of the printing area 200 printed by the printing module 102 shown in FIG. 2 . The part inside the solid line 202 in the printing area 200 is the part that needs to be filled with black, and the dotted line pattern 203 is the printing result when thermal sensing printing is performed under the data D K without adjusting the black. Therefore, the calibration parameter D a can be set in the adjustment unit 101 b , and every time thermal sensing printing is performed, the adjustment unit 101 b will adjust the converted image signal D t according to the calibration parameter D a The data D k corresponding to black, and the adjusted data D kk will make the corresponding output pattern accurately printed to the preset position when the printing module 102 performs thermal sensing printing, that is, the solid line pattern in Fig. 2 In 202, for other image patterns 204, 205, and 206 respectively corresponding to yellow, magenta, and indigo, their printouts are not affected. In other words, in this embodiment, the data processing system 100 only adjusts the black data D K to lengthen (or shorten) the image dye length of the printed black data D K . However, please note that the present invention is not limited to only adjusting black, but also adjusting other yellow, magenta or indigo data D y , D m , D c together, or adjusting data corresponding to all colors Simultaneous adjustment is within the category of the present invention. For example, in another embodiment, the data processing system 100 can also adjust the data of yellow, magenta, and indigo to lengthen (or shorten) the printed data. Image dye length for yellow, magenta, indigo data.

请参考图4，图4为图2所示的数据处理系统100进行数据处理的流程图。应用于数据处理系统100的数据处理方法包含有下列步骤：  Please refer to FIG. 4 , which is a flowchart of data processing performed by the data processing system 100 shown in FIG. 2 . The data processing method applied to the data processing system 100 includes the following steps:

步骤301：接收输入图像数据Din；  Step 301: Receive input image data D in ;

步骤302：将输入图像数据Din从包含有红、青、蓝(RGB)的第一格式转换为包含有黄、洋红、靛蓝与黑(YMCK)的第二格式，以产生一转换后图像信号Dt；  Step 302: Convert the input image data D in from the first format including red, cyan, blue (RGB) to the second format including yellow, magenta, indigo and black (YMCK) to generate a converted image signal D t ;

步骤303：判断出需要进行调整的色带；若有色带数据需要进行调整，则跳至步骤304，而不需要进行调整的色带数据则跳至步骤305；  Step 303: Determine the color band that needs to be adjusted; if there is color band data that needs to be adjusted, then jump to step 304, and if the color band data that does not need to be adjusted, then jump to step 305;

步骤304：使用定标(scaling)参数调整相对应的色带数据；  Step 304: use scaling (scaling) parameters to adjust the corresponding color band data;

步骤305：利用打印模块102来接收打印数据Dp，并依据打印数据Dp进行打印操作。  Step 305: Utilize the printing module 102 to receive the print data Dp , and perform a print operation according to the print data Dp .

在步骤303中，由于本发明数据处理系统100是以调整黑色的数据Dk为例，因此，当判断出黑色的数据DK需要进行调整时，步骤304就会利用定标参数Da对黑色的数据DK进行调整(步骤304)，然后才进行打印(步骤305)，而其他的黄、洋红、靛蓝的数据便不需任何调整而可直接进行打印(步骤305)。如何求得定标参数Da的方式可应用任何公知机制，因此不另赘述。请注意，本发明并不局限于仅对黑色进行调整，而对其他的黄色、洋红色或靛蓝色一 并调整，或所有的颜色同时进行调整亦为本发明所属的范畴。请注意，在步骤302中，并不限定于三原色红、青、蓝(RGB)的该第一格式以及包含有四色带黄、洋红、靛蓝与黑(YMCK)的该第二格式，换句话说，该第一格式以及该第二格式可以是任何一种图像的格式。  In step 303, since the data processing system 100 of the present invention takes the adjustment of the black data D k as an example, when it is judged that the black data D K needs to be adjusted, step 304 will use the calibration parameter D a to adjust the black data Adjust the data D K (step 304) and then print (step 305), while other data of yellow, magenta and indigo can be directly printed without any adjustment (step 305). The manner of how to obtain the calibration parameter D a can be applied to any known mechanism, so no further description is given. Please note that the present invention is not limited to only adjusting black, but also adjusting other yellow, magenta or indigo, or adjusting all colors at the same time is also within the scope of the present invention. Please note that in step 302, it is not limited to the first format of the three primary colors red, cyan, blue (RGB) and the second format including the four-color band yellow, magenta, indigo and black (YMCK), in other words In other words, the first format and the second format can be any image format.

相同于上述的第一实施例，由于热传感的打印装置在对每一种色带进行打印时，每一种色带所需要的热传感打印条件并不完全一样，尤其是其中的黑色和其他的黄、洋红、靛蓝的热传感打印条件差别最大，因此，如果打印模块402在进行热传感打印时所设定的条件均为一样的话，打印出来的黑色部份就会无法精确地处于预设的位置，其原因已如上所述。因此，当数据处理模块401接收到该包含有红、青、蓝(RGB)的该第一格式的输入图像数据Din’(红、青、蓝的数据分别为DR’、DG’、DB’)时，数据处理模块401内的调整单元401b就会依据定标参数Da’、Da’、Dc’分别对所需打印的黑色数据进行调整而产生相对应的图像数据DRR’、DGG’、DBB’，由于求出定标参数Da’、Db’、 Dc’的过程为本领域技术人员所周知，因此在此不另赘述。接着，转换单元401a会将调整后图像数据Daa’从该第一格式转换为该包含有黄、洋红、靛蓝与黑(YMCK)的该第二格式的打印数据Dp’，这是由于本实施例的数据处理系统400中的打印模块402仅能接受该包含有黄、洋红、靛蓝与黑(YMCK)的该第二格式的数据来进行打印。因此，当打印模块402用热传感打印出打印数据Dp’时就会得到一理想的打印效果(如图3所示)。相同于第一实施例，定标参数Da’、Db’、Dc’可被设定在调整单元401b内，因而在每一次的热传感打印时，调整单元401b就会依据定标参数Da’、Db’、Dc’调整输入图像数据Din’中对应黑色的数据，而调整后图像数据Daa’经格式转换后在打印模块402进行热传感打印时就会使得输出图样精确地打印至预设的位置，即图3中的实线202内。换句话说，在本实施例中，数据处理系统400调整输入转换单元401a的输入而达到调整第二格式中黑色所对应的数据的目的，然而，请注意，本发明并不局限于仅对第二格式中的黑色进行调整，而对第二格式中其他的黄色、洋红色或靛蓝色一并调整，或第二格式中所有的颜色同时进行调整，均为本发明所属的范畴。  Same as the above-mentioned first embodiment, since the thermal sensor printing device prints each color ribbon, the thermal sensor printing conditions required by each color ribbon are not exactly the same, especially the black color. The thermal sensing printing conditions of other yellow, magenta, and indigo are the most different. Therefore, if the printing module 402 sets the same conditions when performing thermal sensing printing, the printed black part will not be accurate. The ground is in the preset position for the reasons mentioned above. Therefore, when the data processing module 401 receives the input image data D in ' in the first format containing red, cyan, and blue (RGB) (the data of red, cyan, and blue are respectively DR ', D G ', D B '), the adjustment unit 401 b in the data processing module 401 will adjust the black data to be printed according to the calibration parameters D a ', D a ', D c ' to generate corresponding image data D RR ′, D GG ′, D BB ′, since the process of obtaining the calibration parameters D a ′, D b ′, D c ′ is well known to those skilled in the art, so it will not be repeated here. Next, the conversion unit 401 a converts the adjusted image data D aa ' from the first format into the print data D p ' of the second format including yellow, magenta, indigo and black (YMCK), because The printing module 402 in the data processing system 400 of this embodiment can only accept the data in the second format including yellow, magenta, indigo and black (YMCK) for printing. Therefore, an ideal printing effect (as shown in FIG. 3 ) will be obtained when the printing module 402 prints out the printing data D p ′ by thermal sensing. Similar to the first embodiment, the calibration parameters D a ', D b ', and D c ' can be set in the adjustment unit 401 b , so that each time the thermal sensor prints, the adjustment unit 401 b will be based on Calibration parameters D a ', D b ', D c ' adjust the data corresponding to black in the input image data D in ', and the adjusted image data D aa ' is format-converted when the printing module 402 performs thermal sensing printing. The output pattern will be accurately printed to the preset position, that is, within the solid line 202 in FIG. 3 . In other words, in this embodiment, the data processing system 400 adjusts the input of the input conversion unit 401 a to achieve the purpose of adjusting the data corresponding to black in the second format. However, please note that the present invention is not limited to only Adjusting black in the second format while adjusting the other yellow, magenta, or indigo in the second format together, or adjusting all colors in the second format simultaneously are within the scope of the present invention.

请参考图6，图6为图5所示的数据处理系统400进行数据处理的流程图。应用于数据处理系统400的数据处理方法包含有下列步骤：  Please refer to FIG. 6 , which is a flow chart of data processing performed by the data processing system 400 shown in FIG. 5 . The data processing method applied to the data processing system 400 includes the following steps:

步骤501：接收输入图像数据Din’；  Step 501: Receive input image data D in ';

步骤502：判断出需要进行调整的色带；若有色带数据需要进行调整，则跳至步骤503，而不需要进行调整的色带数据则跳至步骤504；  Step 502: Determine the color band that needs to be adjusted; if there is color band data that needs to be adjusted, then jump to step 503, and if the color band data that does not need to be adjusted, then jump to step 504;

步骤503：使用定标(scaling)参数调整对应色带的数据以产生对应输入图像数据Din’的调整后图像数据Daa’；  Step 503: Use scaling parameters to adjust the data corresponding to the color band to generate adjusted image data D aa ' corresponding to the input image data D in ';

步骤504：将调整后图像数据Daa’以及不需要进行调整的色带数据从包含有红、青、蓝(RGB)的第一格式转换为包含有黄、洋红、靛蓝与黑(YMCK)的第二格式的打印数据Dp’；  Step 504: Convert the adjusted image data D aa ' and the color band data that do not need to be adjusted from the first format containing red, cyan, blue (RGB) to the format containing yellow, magenta, indigo and black (YMCK) Print data D p ' in the second format;

步骤505：利用打印模块402来接收打印数据Dp’，并依据打印数据Dp’进行打印操作。  Step 505: Utilize the print module 402 to receive the print data D p ', and perform a print operation according to the print data D p '.

在步骤502中，由于本发明数据处理系统400是以调整第二格式中黑色所对应的数据为例，因此，当判断出黑色的数据需要进行调整时，步骤503就会利用定标参数Da’、Db’、Dc’对输入图像数据Din’中相关数据进行调整，而求得定标参数Da’、Db’、Dc’的方法类似于上述描述数据处理系统400时所 提到的公知技术，因此不另赘述。请注意，本发明并不局限于调整对应第一格式的数据而仅对第二格式中的黑色进行调整，而对第二格式中其他的黄色、洋红色或靛蓝色一并调整，或第二格式中所有的颜色同时进行调整，均为本发明所属的范畴。  In step 502, since the data processing system 400 of the present invention is an example of adjusting the data corresponding to black in the second format, when it is judged that the black data needs to be adjusted, step 503 will use the calibration parameter D a ', D b ', D c ' adjust the relevant data in the input image data D in ', and the method of obtaining the calibration parameters D a ', D b ', D c ' is similar to the above description of the data processing system 400 The mentioned known technologies are therefore not described in detail. Please note that the present invention is not limited to adjusting the data corresponding to the first format, but only adjusts the black in the second format, and adjusts the other yellow, magenta or indigo in the second format together, or the second format. All the colors in the format are adjusted at the same time, which belongs to the category of the present invention.

于上述实施例中，图2与图5所示的数据处理系统100、400设置于打印机上，亦即，打印机本身便具有数据处理模块101、401而可主动地依据定标参数的设定来调校打印输出结果，然而，本发明并不以此为限，于本发明其他实施例中，打印模块102、402设置于外接于计算机主机的打印机中，而数据处理模块101、401则由计算机主机来加以实施，举例来说，计算机主机提供一使用者操作介面，因此使用者可以先依需求对输入图像数据(如图5所示)或转换后的图像数据(如图2所示)进行调整，最后，调整后的图像数据便会被传送到打印模块来直接进行打印，换句话说，使用者经由该打印模块的一驱动程序来设定定标参数以便计算机主机(亦即数据处理模块101、401)产生所要的打印数据。  In the above-mentioned embodiment, the data processing systems 100, 400 shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 5 are set on the printer, that is, the printer itself has data processing modules 101, 401 which can actively perform calibration according to the settings of the calibration parameters. Adjust the printout results, however, the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments of the present invention, the printing modules 102, 402 are set in printers connected externally to the host computer, and the data processing modules 101, 401 are controlled by the computer For example, the host computer provides a user operation interface, so the user can perform input image data (as shown in FIG. 5 ) or converted image data (as shown in FIG. 2 ) as required. Finally, the adjusted image data will be sent to the printing module for direct printing. In other words, the user sets the calibration parameters through a driver program of the printing module so that the host computer (that is, the data processing module 101, 401) Generate desired print data. the

以上所述仅为本发明的优选实施例，凡依本发明权利要求所进行的等效变化与修改，皆应属本发明的涵盖范围。 The above descriptions are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and all equivalent changes and modifications made according to the claims of the present invention shall fall within the scope of the present invention.
