SC01-S1: Introduction toElectrophotography

8:00 am – 12:00 pm (4 hours)Instructor: Marc Cousoulis, Lexmark International, Inc.

Electrophotography is the underlying printengine technology that drives the multimilliondollar laser printer and toner industries. Thiscourse provides a review of the foundationalscience required to understand the functionaland architectural decisions that define thedesign of modern toner-based imaging systems.Electrophotography is examined from both ahistorical perspective and with an emphasis oncurrent technological trends. The business ofelectrophotography transcends multiple indus-tries and disciplines: from chemical manufac-turers to managed print service providers, andfrom physicists to IT specialists. Any individualwho works directly or indirectly with the toner-based imaging industry will benefit from thiscourse.

BenefitsThis course enables an attendee to:• Appreciate the history and evolution of

electrophotography.• Identify and explain the six fundamental

steps of electrophotography.• Comprehend the basic physics of toner

SC02-S1: Top Ten Myths ofColor Management

8:00 am – 12:00 pm (4 hours)Instructor: Thomas E. Madden,Eastman Kodak Company

Myths often evolve to explain what seems oth-erwise inexplicable and to support ideas peoplewish to believe. Color itself can seem quite inex-plicable at times, and people strongly want tobelieve color images can be interchanged freelyamong systems. So it is not surprising that nu-merous myths have arisen regarding digital col-or management. While a few of these myths arerelatively harmless, many have been detrimentalto making real progress within the color imag-ing industry. Persistent myths have led to com-promised systems and undesirable results thatcould have been avoided, and disagreements onrelevant conceptual and technical issues havefrequently derailed discussions on standards forcolor interchange.

Short Course ProgramThis year’s NIP/DF Short Course Program offers a wide range of introductory and advanced topics inthe fields of nonimpact printing and digital fabrication given by internationally recognized expertsdedicated to promoting the understanding and advancement of imaging science and technology.Attendees receive copies of the instructors’ notes/slides with course registration.

SC03-S1: Advanced Digital Halftoning8:00 am – 12:00 pm (4 hours)

Instructor: Jan P. Allebach, Purdue University

Digital halftoning, which creates the impressionof continuous-tone using marking processesthat have finite spatial and amplitude resolu-tion, is a fundamental step for virtually allprinting technologies, ranging from small inkjetphoto-printers, through office laser electropho-tographic printers, to high-speed, digital dry-

and liquid-toner presses and large-format, in-dustrial inkjet systems. The design of an effec-tive halftoning algorithm is strongly impactedby the performance requirements, the availablecomputational resources, the specific character-istics of the marking process, and the character-istics of the human visual system.

This course describes the basic principles ofdigital halftoning and the three major classes ofhalftoning methods: screening, error diffusion,and search-based. It discusses the impact of thehuman visual system on the design of digitalhalftoning algorithms, how models for themarking process may be incorporated withinthis design, and the extension of halftoningalgorithm design to color. It shows how train-ing-based strategies can leverage the quality ofcomputationally intensive search-based methodsinto the design of much simpler algorithms thatyield nearly the same level of image quality asthe more computationally intensive methodsfrom which they are derived. The latter partof the course focuses on stochastic, dispersed-dotmasks, and error diffusion algorithms that arewidely used in inkjet products; periodic, clustered-dot, supercell halftones that are widely used inlaser electrophotographic products, and sto-chastic, clustered-dot masks that have potentialapplications in a range of printing technologies.

BenefitsThis course enables an attendee to:• Understand the basic concepts of digital

halftoning.• Appreciate factors that influence the design

of digital halftoning algorithms.• Be able to characterize marking processes in

order to parameterize models that can beused in the algorithm design.

• Learn how to design both dispersed-dot andclustered-dot stochastic masks; modern errordiffusion algorithms that are free from theartifacts commonly seen in error diffusiongenerated halftone textures; and clustereddot, periodic supercell halftone screens usingrotated screens or non-orthogonal lattices tosuppress moiré in color printing.

Intended Audience: individuals who want to learnthe fundamentals of digital halftoning, and tobecome familiar with the current state of digitalhalftoning algorithm design. Attendees arepresumed to have a basic knowledge of imageprocessing and linear systems.

Jan P. Allebach is Hewlett-Packard Distinguished Professor ofElectrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University inWest Lafayette, Indiana. His work on digital halftoning andimage rendering algorithms has been licensed by major ven-

SC13-S4: Image Quality Assessment:Not So SSIMple

3:45 – 5:45 pm (2 hours)Instructor: Al Bovik, The University of Texas

Being able to assess image quality is importantin many ways. For example, image processingalgorithms that seek to improve image qualitycan only be demonstrated to do so if there is abenchmark index of quality to gauge the results.Systems that deliver image media over networks,to displays, and printing devices can maintainbetter quality of service if there is a method forcontinuously monitoring the image quality.

The ultimate benchmark, of course, is humansubjective opinion of the image quality, but thisis costly and impractical to implement in mostscenarios. Therefore, algorithms that seek toobjectively predict the quality of distorted im-ages in a manner that agrees with subjectiveopinion are very desirable. Of course, ImageQuality Assessment (IQA) algorithms have beenaround for a long time, most notably the vener-


10

able Mean-Squared Error (MSE) and Peak Signal-to-Noise-Ratio (PSNR). The problem is thatthese venerable devices do not correlate well withsubjective opinion, as has been demonstrated inlarge human studies. Indeed, for many years,the problem was thought of as too difficult tosolve, perhaps because it required a deeper un-derstanding of visual perception that wasavailable.

More recently, there have been developed avariety of IQA algorithms that do achieve ahigh correlation with subjective quality. Thebest known of these is the Structural Similarityindex, or SSIM index. The SSIM index is a con-ceptually and computationally simple algorithmfor quality assessment that nevertheless embod-ies a number of powerful perceptual concepts.It has been deeply analyzed and a number ofinteresting variants of the SSIM index exist.

This course describes the basic principles ofimage quality assessment and the philosophyunderlying the SSIM index. We talk about suchbasic principles as perceptual masking, naturalscene modelling, and multi-scale analysis. TheSSIM index in detail, as well as successful vari-ants, such as Multi-scale SSIM (MS-SSIM) andP-SSIM is addressed. The relationship of SSIMto other IQA algorithms such as the MSE andthe Visual Information Fidelity (VIF) index ispresented. A description of the available IQAdatabases and subjective studies that have beenconducted is discussed along with a large-scaleapplication of the SSIM index to print qualityassessment.

BenefitsThis course enables an attendee to:• Understand the basic concepts of image

quality assessment (IQA).• Appreciate perceptual factors that underlie

the design of IQA algorithms• Become familiar with the philosophy behind

the Structural Similarity index and how thealgorithm is designed and implemented.

• Learn about more advanced versions of theSSIM index, such as Multiscale SSIM(MS-SSIM) and P-SSIM.

• Learn about the subjective prediction powerof the SSIM index and its variants.

• See examples of the SSIM index in action,including a large-scale application to printquality assessment.

• Discuss the future of image quality assess-ment, including Blind (or No-Reference)IQA.

Intended Audience: individuals who want to learnthe fundamentals of image quality assessment,and to become familiar with the current state of

image quality assessment algorithm design.Attendees are presumed to have a basic knowl-edge of image processing.

SC19-M3: Electrostatic Toner Transfer1:30 – 5:30 pm (4 hours)

Instructor: Mark Zaretsky, Eastman Kodak Company

An important and potentially quality-limitingstep in all electrophotographic machines is thetransfer of toner from photoconductor to re-ceiver. Achieving high-quality toner transfer viaelectrostatic forces requires an understanding oftoner design (to produce optimally charged ton-er and to minimize surface adhesion forces),and electrostatic field generation (to maximizeelectrostatic forces at the appropriate locationand to minimize unwanted ionization). Com-mercial implementation of this technology maybe found in a wide variety of configurations. Asignificant degree of complexity is inherent intoner transfer resulting from the many interac-tions that exist with essentially every other sub-system in the electrophotographic process. Inthis course, explanations and models of the keymechanisms affecting dry-toner transfer pro-vide a foundation for understanding transfersubsystem design and performance, its interac-tions with other subsystems, and the impor-tance of various noise factors. Throughout thecourse, examples are drawn from many practi-cal transfer subsystems.

BenefitsThis course enables an attendee to:• Understand basic electrostatic concepts

related to transfer.

A newly developed model: the revisedKubelka-Munk theory, describing light propa-gation in turbid media, is also discussed. Thecourse covers the most recent developmentssince it was last time given at NIP22 in 2006.

BenefitsThis course will enable the attendee to:• Gain an overview of research on light-paper

interaction: absorption, scattering, surfacereflection, and fluorescence.

• Learn about physical models dealing withphysical- and optical-dot-gain, surfacereflection, and fluorescence.

• Get an insight into the fundamentals of thephysical models and experimental methods.

• Understand the background (physical con-siderations and assumptions) of the original(K-M) theory.

• Appreciate how the theoretical models areapplied to determine the optical propertiesof materials.

• To predict the optical presentation of anoptical system.

Intended Audience: Engineers and scientists whowork in the areas concerning print color repro-duction, the optical properties or color of mate-rials and composites will benefit from this class.

SPECIAL EVENT

Harnessing the Power of Open Innovation:Panel Discussion and “Speed Dating” Event

Monday, September 20th4:00–5:30 PM (panel) / 7:00–9:00 PM (“speed dating”)

Open Innovation (OI) is one of the most powerful techniques available for companies to usetoday to extend their capability. Examples across many companies—indeed across many indus-tries—have shown its power, but how do you get started? How do you recognize a project that’slikely to succeed? Just as importantly, how do you recognize a failure before it starts? This eventis designed to help you answer these vital questions and then put theory into practice.

The event is comprised of two parts, a panel discussion about using OI and an interactivesession where participants can learn about the capabilities of others.

The session starts with an afternoon panel discussion among a distinguished group of industry ex-ecutives with real experience working in an open innovation context. Each will make a brief pres-entation then answer questions from the moderator and audience. The goal of this session is to in-crease your knowledge of how OI works, what types of relationships generate greater chances ofsuccess, and pitfalls to avoid.

After a break for dinner on your own, participants will reconvene for a “speed dating” eventdesigned to allow you to network with the greatest number of other participants in a meaningfulway. The mechanics of “speed dating” are simple. Participants are divided into two groups. Themembers of Group A each sit at a table. The members of Group B sit at one of the tables facingthe Group A member for a prescribed amount of time, typically 10 minutes. At the end of 10minutes, a bell rings and each Group B member moves one seat over to the next table. In 100minutes, you get to have 10 non-confidential discussions where you can explore the potential forsome mutual interest. If areas of possible collaboration surface, participants can follow up withone another in a more confidential manner.

Those wishing to participate in the event need to indicate their interest on the conference registra-tion form. Shortly before the conference, you will be asked to fill out a more in-depth form aboutyour interest in attending so that we may divide participants into mutually beneficial groupings.

PLEASE HELP USkeep costs down

Last year, the NIP/Digital FabricationConference lost $42,000 in income be-cause too few people stayed at the con-ference hotel. We work hard to negotiatereasonable hotel room rates for the con-ferences. Doing so allows us to keep con-ference registration fees lower as hotelrooms offset the cost of meeting roomspace. When too few people stay at thehost hotel, we get charged for the space.To keep registration fees from increasingsignificantly, please do your part andstay at the Hilton Austin! Thank you!
