See Luminance Enhancement

Chrominance enhancement is applied in the MY, MYK, or CMYK channels. Chrominance modification in different channels is designed to minimize luminance changes so that changes are primarily in chrominance, to which the human visual system is less sensitive.

By defining a coarse scale for a block, you are configuring the block for a specific resolution of the Digimarc digital watermark signal. This effective resolution is a result of the sensor resolution, the lens, scanning distance, and the printed resolution of Digimarc digital watermarks. The ratio between the effective image resolution and the printed resolution of Digimarc digital watermark determines the preferred coarse scale.

The coarse scale value for a block applies downsampling to that part of the input image. A coarse scale of 1 results in no downsampling while a coarse scale of 3 results in 3:1 downsampling.

During enhancement, the color weights spread Digimarc digital watermark into specific color channels. The parameter for Adaptive Color Type controls which of the models is applied.

During detection, the color weights are used to assemble Digimarc digital watermark components for decoding from its representation in different color channels.

See Fidelity Score

It indicates how reliably this region of Digimarc digital watermark scans, on a scale of 0 - 100.

75WPI Example:

10in²of 75WPI coverage area
= 10in²/(128W/75WPI)^2)
= 4 Digimarc digital watermarks

150WPI Example:
10in²of 150WPI coverage area
= 10in²/(128W/150WPI)^2)
= 14 Digimarc digital watermarks

fka Digimarc Enhancement Legend (DEL)

The Digimarc QC Details Legend is placed outside the crop marks, similar to a color bar. It reminds press personnel of basic QC processes and instructs them not to mix color separations from different packages.

The Electronic Product Code™ (EPC) is syntax forunique identifiers assigned to physical objects, unit loads, locations, orother identifiable entity playing a role in business operations.

EPCs have multiple representations, includingbinary forms suitable for use on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags, and text formssuitable for data sharing among enterprise information systems.

This provides some visibility improvement for a significant set of packaging-oriented media.

EVE’s runtime increases quadratically, so enabling it does slow the embed process for large images.

See Fidelity Score

The size of a fidelity block, which is made up of message and synchronization components, is a configurable parameter, currently set to be the size of a tile.

See Red Light Contrast

Such colors appear to a red light scanner as white or as light shades of gray. 660 nm is the light color specified for measuring the print quality of GS1 symbologies.

See AIDC

GS1 defines a standard structure and format. The human-readable interpretation is generally a one-to-one illustration of the encoded data.

fka SCANTHNG

Identifier Recognition allows a user to take a picture of an object, a QR code, or a barcode and recognize it as an EVRYTHNG product or Thng.

Imagers generally use 1D or 2D CCD or CMOS sensors to capture the optical data.

Many imagers are equipped to read Digimarc digital watermarks or can be updated to do so.

the Jobs API allows the EVRYTHNG Platform to execute asynchronous long-running jobs, creating or updating many resources

on the Digimarc Platform, Jobs are used to track events and associated data about the production of packaging artwork

For example, applying an action to a group of Thngs.

A packaging watermark (or Custom Data) can have one or more Jobs associated with it

See Red Light Contrast

Such colors appear to a red-light scanner as black or as dark shades of gray. ‎Very low-reflectance colors are challenging to enhance effectively except by using a binary pattern.

See Chrominance

Luma is typically paired with chrominance – indicating the brightness at which colors are represented.

See Single Channel EnhancementandChrominance Enhancement

Chrominance enhancement is a form of multi-channel enhancement.

Operators can be assigned access to create, manage and read Thngs, products, projects applications, roles, and Application Users.

An Operator can be invited to join other accounts.

In digital imaging, a pixel, pel, dot, or picture element is a physical point in a raster image.

Each pixel is a sample of an original image; more samples typically provide more accurate representations of the original. The intensity of each pixel is variable. In color imaging systems, a color is typically represented by three or four component intensities such as red, green, and blue; or cyan, magenta, yellow, and black.

In image sensors, a pixel is an individual light-sensitive element in an array (for example, CCD (charge-coupled device) or CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) device.

Synonymous with picture element.

A contract proof usually serves as an agreement between customer and printer and as a color reference guide for adjusting the press before the final press run. Most contract proofs are prepress proofs.

The primary goal of 'proofing' is to serve as a tool for customer confirmation that the entire job is accurate. Prepress proofing (also known as off-press proofing) is a cost-effective way of providing a visual copy without the expense of creating a press proof. If errors are found during the printing process on press, correcting them can prove very costly to one or both parties involved.

A type of color model, similar to additive color, which involves “process”colorsthat are a combination of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, or CMYK inks. Eachprocess coloris comprised of percentages of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks.

Extended gamut includes additional colors, such as orange, green, and violet.

From Pantone: achieving color in printing is referred to as CMYK, four–color process, 4/c process or even just process. To reproduce a color image, a file is separated into four different colors: Cyan (C), Magenta (M), Yellow (Y), and Black (K).

See Reflectance

The raw image can be color or grayscale, the intensity of each pixel being at regularly spaced locations across an image frame. For color image sensors, there is a raw image for each color channel (for example, Red (R), Green (G), Blue (B)).

The term, raw image, is not intended to correspond to the .RAW image file format, or the like, which is a minimally processed file from an image sensor. Digimarc detection and verification softwaregenerally works on the interpolated form of the 'raw' data, in which all channels are uniformly represented as identically-sampled one-sample-per-pixel planes (often individually referred to as 'grayscale' channels).

fka Delta660 (Δ660)

See Substrate

The color of light used in most retail barcode scanners.

In GS1 symbol quality specifications, the narrowband illumination peak wavelength is always 660 nm ± 10nm (via GS1 2D Verification Guidelines).

Magnification or shrinking of an image

See Differential Scale

Scale varies with the distance between the artwork and the camera system.

The Digimarc digital watermark detector determines the scale and rotation of a Digimarc watermark and compensates for geometric distortion using the Synchronization Signal.

online representation of metadata corresponding to a data carrier in the Digimarc Platform

Every resource has a Short ID.

In addition, for redirection purposes, a shorter ID can be used (for example, 7Bk9E6Rc).

These are unique for a given short domain but aren't in themselves globally unique.

The Short URL allows individual Thngs and products in the EVRYTHNG platform to be redirected to a web application.

For example, https://tn.gg/7Bk9E6Rc

Also called pitch, increment, and step size.

When an image is stored in memory, the memory buffer sometimes contains extra padding bytes after each row of pixels. These extra bytes affect how the image is stored in memory, but they don't affect how the image is displayed.

pixel_stride: ‎the number of bytes occupied in memory of one pixel in an image

line_stride: ‎the number of bytes occupied in memory by a row of pixels in an image

See Waxel

The size of a Tile depends on the resolution of the Digimarc digital watermark in Waxels Per Inch (WPI). For example, a Tile of 128 by 128 waxels at 75 WPI is 43.4 mm x 43.4 mm (1.7 in x 1.7 in), and at 150 WPI is 21.7 x 21.7 mm (0.85 in x 0.85 in).

UPOS is an abstract object model for peripherals at a POS system, everything from the scanner to the cash drawer. UPOS has no knowledge of how those devices communicate to the host system, as long as the drivers for those devices offer an API that conforms to the UPOS object model. Behind the scenes, the UPOS drivers for a scanner may be using AIM or some proprietary interface defined by the scanner manufacturer.
