Description

Image detection with compartmentalization image resolution ratio
Technical field
The present invention relates to the methods for carrying out image detection in printing machine to ensure printing product progress quality And system.
The present invention is in the technical field of automation quality control.
Background technique
Many modern printing machines all have automated image detection system, can be to printing by these image detecting systems As a result it is checked in terms of press quality.Here, not only checking realized aim colour in the case where polychrome printing Value, and check to version (Passer), that is, the double exposure of each single color separation.Furthermore (also in the case where single color printing) set is checked Quasi- (Register), that is, the correct interval between the edge of printing substrate, and check general press quality.The latter exists It is related to the image object determined in terms of correct present, for these image objects importantly, by these images pair As for example correctly being presented in terms of seamed edge transition.Example to this is bar code or QR code, to these bar codes or For person's QR code, the minimum deviation for printing image may result in the change of transmitted data content, and thus cause to print Brush mistake.Another example is package insert, equally possible with strong influence in this misprint.
Especially in biggish page printer and rotary printer, the image detecting system inside printing machine is pacified mostly After last printing and upper gloss varnish mechanism, to be thus able to carry out intraconnected measurement during formal printing.Image Detection system has one or more video cameras or scan stripes (Scannerleiste) thus, is used for corresponding intraconnected image Detection.Based on thus taken image data, be then able to obtain it is for color measuring, for general image inspection And for the data of version and registration accuracy (Passer-und Registerhaltigkeit).
Here, the different target of image detection has required different quality requirements in terms of required image resolution ratio, These quality requirements are that applied video camera or scan stripes must provide.As a result, for example in order to examine to version and register Accuracy needs high image resolution ratio (for example, at least 300dpi to 600dpi and more), and for color measuring, it is smaller Image resolution ratio (50dpi to 150dpi) is sufficient.For general image inspection, usual 100dpi is between 300dpi Image resolution ratio be sufficient.In addition to image resolution ratio, another factor (is produced based on another factor and is taken the photograph to applied The requirement of camera) be printing substrate conveying speed, this conveying speed and respectively applied by printing machine the related (example of type Page printer or rotary printer in this way).
Currently, in the prior art, RGB video camera and scan stripes based on CCD are mainly applied, however these equipment are in page In offset press in the case where the usual high conveying speed of at least 3 meter per seconds and in digital (or ink-jet) printing machine It cannot be with the entire print of highest resolution detection of current applied 600dpi at least in the case where the conveying speed of 0.6 meter per second Map brushing picture.Here, bottleneck relates generally to: video camera analysis processing electronic device in data processing or video camera and then Interface (Schnittstelle) between the data processing in pattern process computer.
Therefore this is necessarily resulted in correspondingly using more video cameras, wherein for example a video camera only monitors Color measuring strips in printing substrate, the second video camera executes general image inspection and third video camera only scans set Fiducial mark note, so that thus, it is possible to execute the target complete of image detection.This however have as a drawback that, i.e., so that installation expend And then the cost factor for image detecting system is significantly increased.
In order to eliminate the problem, it is therefore advantageous that be equipped with imaging sensor, i.e., such video camera or scan stripes: should Video camera or scan stripes can monitor entire printing substrate according to mentioned requirement.Because simplest solution is (i.e. Using such video camera or scan stripes, the video camera or scan stripes always can be detected and be handled entire printing with highest resolution Substrate) be it is impossible because this camera chain it is either too expensive otherwise to the follow-up data of pattern process computer at Reason proposes to make excessive demands, therefore the camera chain that must seek alternatively herein.
Summary of the invention
Therefore it is an object of the present invention to propose a kind of in a part with camera chain as printing machine The method that image detection is carried out in video camera, disadvantage known in the art can be overcome by this method.
The task passes through a kind of according to the invention for being carried out in the machine of processing printable fabric by means of computer The method of image detection solves, wherein the image data of print job is analyzed by computer and is divided into and has These different images regions are associated with different image resolution ratios, the image printed by the image-region of different images content Data are shot by means of the imaging sensor (including each single part) of image detecting system and analysis, which is characterized in that image These each single parts of sensor can apply different image resolution ratios, and be controled by computer, so that right Different images region is shot with the respectively different image resolution ratios attached and forwards it to image detecting system. Conclusive herein to be, the applied imaging sensor for camera chain can be in for the different zones of printing image Reveal different image resolution ratios.As a result, in the scope of image detection, in order to it is generated printing product quality inspection, It can be detected respectively with the image resolution ratio of optimization for each single region.Image detecting method must be fitted correspondingly herein A possibility that new assigned in these.I.e., it is necessary to pass through computer (such as the control meter of the computer of image detecting system, printing machine Calculation machine or the computer for printing the last stage) it is analyzed according to print last stage data: which image data should be currently printed, this A little image datas then must be divided into the respective image region with different images content, and these figures for accordingly optimizing As resolution ratio must be associated with these different images regions.This has been able to directly complete in the print last stage in the ideal case At, if if applied print last stage system can accomplish.Otherwise by the computer of postposition (such as image procossing calculate Machine) it accepts, the computer of the postposition is responsible for the monitoring of image detecting system.Then, this division is accordingly provided to image Detection system, thus, the figure for the optimization that the image-region accordingly divided independently can respectively be attached by imaging sensor As resolution ratio is detected, and analyzed in pattern process computer.
The advantageous and then preferred improvement project of the method according to the invention is by affiliated dependent claims and by having There is the description of affiliated attached drawing to generate.
It is in a kind of advantageous modification of this method according to the invention, the region with different images content includes Such image-region: these image-regions are used for version and set locating tab assembly and/or for color measuring and/or for generality Image inspection.That is, can correspondingly be detected to version and register mark with highest image resolution ratio, color control Item is detected with corresponding lesser image resolution ratio, and the region for general pattern inspection is then with corresponding medium image point Resolution is detected.
Here, another advantageous modification of the method according to the invention is, by the image district to version and set locating tab assembly Domain is associated at least image resolution ratio of 200dpi, and the image-region for being used for color measuring is associated at least image of 50dpi Resolution ratio, and by the image-region for being used for general image inspection for the readable numeric data code of inspection machine (such as bar code) It is associated at least image resolution ratio of 200dpi, and is associated at least image resolution of 100dpi to check other regions Rate.For for version and set locating tab assembly, in present image inspection system, there is an urgent need at least 200dpi's or even 600dpi Highest image resolution ratio, so as to execute the accurate detection as far as possible to version and register.For general image inspection Speech, the medium image resolution ratio of at least 200dip are sufficient determining numeric data code (such as bar code or QR code), and for Check that then at least 100dip is sufficient in other regions.Color measuring control is carried out and the detection to color control bar, this Need 50dpi up to the minimum image resolution ratio of 200dpi in current system.
It is in another advantageous modification of this method according to the invention, based on there are different resolutionsThese image datas of the image-region of detection, computer establish interface criterion (Interface- Vorschrift), which is associated with corresponding image-capturing positions for image-region, these image-regions are sent to Image detecting system, described image detection system control each single part of described image sensor, so as to each single image Region is analyzed and processed with the image resolution ratio that it is respectively attached.In order to which method is provided with different resolutions in the correct way The image-region and its image detecting system that rate accordingly divides, thus, image detecting system can for example be started with these data, By computer (such as the control computer or the computer of print last stage that can be image detection computer, printing machine) based on tool There is the image data of the image-region of different demarcation to establish out for image detecting system (precisely for video camera system System) interface criterion, which is then passed on image detecting system.It is passed to be then able to so control described image Each individual module of sensor, so that these each individual modules are with the image resolution ratio of its optimization respectively attached to accordingly not Same image-region is analyzed and processed.Controling for these each individual modules of imaging sensor is usually by image sensing herein The control electronic device of device independently realizes that the information is by means of following information: which kind of image resolution ratio which should detect with A little regions.That is, although imaging sensor accordingly those of controls part optically always with its maximum image resolution ratio pair Its corresponding region is detected.It is detected however because this causes mentioned in Data Analysis Services the problem of Image data is by so-called " combination of pixels (Binning) " (i.e. each single image point is combined into a common picture point) And it reduces.
Another advantageous modification of the method according to the invention is herein, so controls each of described image sensor Single part, so that weighting image information by multiple pixels in reduced image resolution ratio image-region detected To a pixel.Because the optical device of imaging sensor always detects corresponding printing image with complete image resolution ratio (or the division region accordingly attached), it is therefore desirable for image resolution ratio controled by means of each single part of imaging sensor Processing electronic device is analyzed by it to be carried out.Reason for this is that: the image detection of imaging sensor and image procossing Key point is seldom optical device, but be postposition analysis processing electronic device can not with necessary speed handle by Image data provided by optical device.If perhaps the analysis processing electronic device itself of imaging sensor is capable of handling If corresponding image data, then image detecting system itself is overcritical for the transmission of mass data.Therefore, it passes through With handling electronic device by the analysis of image detecting system to imaging sensor, the phase to the individual module of imaging sensor is realized It should control, for being detected with different images resolution ratio.
Another advantageous modification of the method according to the invention is there is the image district of different images resolution ratio herein Domain is read out with complete RGB color information.Because by means of the method according to the invention in the scope of image detection example As also executed color measuring, therefore allow for naturally, these corresponding images of processing analyzed to color control bar Also it is detected with complete colouring information in region.And the region for general image inspection is enabled to complete The detection of RGB color information becomes necessary.
Another advantageous modification of the method according to the invention is that the image detection of image detecting system is in glue herein Occur in the case where the conveying speed at least 3m/s of printing substrate in print machine, and in printing substrate in ink-jet printer Occur in the case where conveying speed at least 0.6m/s.Printing substrate in the printing machine monitored by image detecting system it is defeated Sending speed is usually at least 3m/s in the case where offset press.In ink-jet printer, conveying speed currently also it is significant it is smaller (when Before be at least 0.6m/s).The image detection that different images region is detected with the individualized image resolution ratio accordingly optimized This image detection of system then equally must be able to detect and be handled caused by least 3m/s or 6m/s conveying speed Image data.
Another advantageous modification of the method according to the invention is that application image detects in ink-jet printer herein In the case where system, the printing image printed is divided into multiple images region, it respectively can with highest to these image-regions The image resolution ratio of energy is detected in order, and is then used for the print nozzles of detection failure.The printing of failure is sprayed Mouth will lead in the image interference in such image-region: in these image-regions, the print nozzles of failure originally should be Through printing.Detection for the print nozzles of this image interference and then failure, this is needed in the image detection of printing image Very high image resolution ratio.And it is needed herein using the method according to the invention, in the method according to the invention, to print Each single region of map brushing picture is detected in order with the available image resolution ratio of highest, and then by image detecting system or By other components, correspondingly analysis is handled.Here, these each single regions are according to priority (i.e. in turn) with the available figure of highest As resolution ratio is detected and analyzed processing, until entire printing image and then entirely printing head width by with highest possible Image resolution ratio test.
Another advantageous modification of the method according to the invention is herein, is used for the figure of color measuring in detection In the case where as region, the color resolution of imaging sensor is increased to greater than 8 bits.The usual color resolution of 8 bits It is able to achieve the color value depth of 256 color values (0 to 255) in the color region as detected by imaging sensor respectively.In face Apply in color detection however advantageously bigger color value depth.If raising color resolution (such as compare from 8 bits to 10 It is special), then the detected color value of imaging sensor can be divided into 1024 color values (0 to 1023), this, which is able to achieve, is produced The more accurate inspection and then preferably color control of raw color value.However, if data volume caused by thus is for rear place It is too high for reason, then image resolution ratio can be reduced from least 50dpi to 200dpi and then save data volume.Here, however weight It wants, so that image resolution ratio is reduced to 50dpi or less.
Another solution according to the invention of being proposed for task is a kind of image detection for page printer System, with intraconnected measuring device (Inline-Messvorrichtung) for executing according to the method for the present invention, It being characterized in that, imaging sensor is the CIS scan stripes or cmos camera of the modular building based on CMOS or CCD, In, CIS scan stripes or cmos camera all parts all can in order to carry out image taking with different images resolution ratio It controls and reads with sector mode (abschnittsweise).It is according to the invention that there is intraconnected for page printer The image detecting system of measuring device is equipped with the CIS scan stripes of modular building, wherein be then able to individually to control for Corresponding different image resolution ratio carries out all parts (or whole modules) of image taking.It is able to carry out whereby according to the present invention Method, wherein different images region is detected with the image resolution ratio accordingly optimized.It alternatively can also be with application module The cmos camera that formula can control.Modular can control expression: each single cmos sensor of cmos camera can be individualized Ground so controls, and carries out the inspection of compartmentalization image on its entire width to the printing substrate printed so that can be realized whereby It surveys.Be using CIS scan stripes or application cmos camera be all indifferent: importantly, modular control be able to achieve with Different images resolution ratio carries out compartmentalization image detection.This is indicated for CIS scan stripes: these each individual modules must be thin It divides micro-ly, makes it possible to all images region detect with the individualized image resolution ratio for the optimization attached.For Cmos camera, this, since each single cmos sensor can control individualizedly, is not problem anyway.? This, absolutely can to each single image region with corresponding image resolution ratio by the multiple portions of video camera, i.e. cmos sensor It is detected with identical image resolution ratio.However, it is important that the monitoring area of cmos sensor is not so greatly, to make it possible to Enough realize that multiple images region is only detected by such a cmos sensor with different images resolution ratio.
Another advantageous modification of image detecting system according to the invention is that image detecting system can be extremely herein It is few that the interface criterion having changed is accepted within 20 image lines (Bildzeilen).In order to avoid the above problem (i.e. multiple figures As region can only be detected by a part of imaging sensor with different images resolution ratio), image detecting system must be able to It is enough that the interface criterion (namely in the form of other image resolution ratios of application) having changed is accepted within most 20 image lines.From The undertaking of one image line to next image row is long-term goal, however can not be realized by present image sensor technology.It borrows Help this undertaking within most 20 image linesHowever ensure: accordingly by of imaging sensor Partially each region Hua not detected with individualized image resolution ratio.
Another advantageous modification of image detecting system according to the invention is herein, described image sensor (9) With the sensor row (8) for being equipped with three or more Color Channels, wherein RGB sensor row (8) can be applied, these RGB Sensor row (Sensorzeilen) is logical in three colors of three line arrangements, mixed arrangement for sensor row Road, or by means of prism video camera, and three or more sensors can be also applied in a manner of individualized color detection Row.For for general image inspection and especially for carrying out color measuring control by the detection of color control bar Image detecting system application for, imaging sensor allow for detection printing image colouring information.This passes through application Sensor row at least three Color Channels is realized.In the application of three Color Channels, such as it can be realized three RGB Sensor row.These sensor rows can such as typically three lines (trilinear) arrangement;I.e. a sensor row detects R Colouring information, another sensor row detects G colouring information, and another sensor row detects B colouring information.However alternative mixing Setting be also it is possible, such as sensor row detects R colouring information herein, other two sensor row is then mixedly Detect G and B colouring information.For RGB sensor row another option is that using plasma video camera, wherein for each of RGB Single Color Channel is individually detected and is handled, and is then just combined again in the image procossing of the imaging sensor of postposition At whole image.It is also furthermore possible using more than three Color Channel for more accurate color detection.In such case Under, it, can also be using the sensor row with individualized frequency range other than RGB sensor row.However, it is also possible that There is the Color Channel of RGB sensor row alternatively to be divided to not including.In this case, imaging sensor should be covered The frequency range of lid is repartitioned under the applied sensor row with its Color Channel.

Another particularly preferred form of implementation be using cmos camera 9, as long as the cmos camera 9 be able to detect that it is whole If a printing image 5.In the case where cmos camera 9, these single image sensors 8 can be controled, and be scanned with CIS The case where item 9, is compared, this, which can more easily be realized, carries out image detection with compartmentalization image resolution ratio.Cmos camera 9 for Application and indistinction of the application of the method according to the invention with CIS scan stripes 9.Cmos camera 9 controls and CIS scan stripes The 9 above-mentioned difference controled is only in that: this needs the difference caused by construction aspect.Image detecting system 10 and according to Method of the invention is described below using CIS scan stripes 9;However the application of cmos camera 9 is entirely equally possible And should be included within the protection scope of the application.
Applied image detecting system 10 schematically describes in Fig. 3 herein.Image detecting system 10 is in addition to printing machine 14 except itself also comprising the CIS scan stripes 9 that are mounted in printing machine 14 and comprising pattern process computer 15, at the image Reason computer 15 is attached directly to CIS scan stripes 9 and connect with the control computer 12 of printing machine 14.Control with display 13 Computer 12 processed is the interface for user 11 herein.CIS scan stripes 9 are typically mounted on most in 14 inside of printing machine certainly After printing mechanism afterwards.Here, being shot to the printing image 5 to be checked.Pass through the original printed to print job Beginning image 5 carries out image taking, produces the digital total figure of these printing zones 2,3,4 at this time as 16, is calculated by image procossing The number total figure is then compared as 16 with the specified printing image of number during further image detection by machine 15.
Fig. 4 is schematically illustrated in the process that the method according to the invention in modification is preferably implemented.For this purpose, by computer 12, Printing image is divided into different zones by 15 (preferably print last stage computers).These regions are corresponding to printing image 5,16 The position 2,3,4 to be checked.Then, each region 2,3,4 is associated with the figure optimized for the image detection set As resolution ratio 19.Which image resolution ratio is optimization, this is related with the type of corresponding image detection proposed.Scheming The example of the printing image 5 printed is shown, which has different images region 2,3,4 in printing substrate 1 in 1.
Based on printing image with its digital form, different zones with the image resolution ratio 17 attached, then Software interface criterion 18 is established out by computer 12, which is accurately attached: in printing image 17 On which position, scan stripes 9 should detect corresponding region 2,3,4 with which kind of image resolution ratio.Software interface criterion 18 is quasi- herein Fidelity is made: which kind of image resolution ratio applied along the direction x-/y for which image district 2,3,4 on printing image 17.Software interface is quasi- Then 18 pattern process computer 15 for being and then transferred to image detecting system 10 by software interface by computer 12, and energy It is enough that target accurately analysis processing is carried out with respectively selected image resolution ratio to selected image-region 2,3,4.Namely It says, the structure for the image data 17 transmitted is related to the software interface criterion 18.Then, in the scope of image detection, The image data 5 printed in alignment type printing is detected.Here, furthermore software interface criterion 18 is used for: reading data When, detected image data is correctly associated with corresponding image-capturing positions again.Image with local optimum point The result of the image detection of resolution is then able to completely as so far routinely also by output device 13 by computer 12,15 And/or printing machine 14 informs user 11.Additionally, also it is able to carry out output (or storing in the protocol).
It is had changed it is also advantageous that image detecting system 10 can be accepted rapidly (i.e. within 20 image lines) Software interface criterion 18, the detection for printing image 5 as a result, can be realized optimally for picture material 2,3,4 as far as possible.
The advantages of the method according to the invention, is, it is generally the case that the interface 22 for image procossing, which limits, to be had The total figure picture of high-resolution (600dpi) and transmission in the case where high speed (> 5m/s) of printing substrate feed.This Disadvantage by only compartmentalization (i.e. locally) is overcome with high image resolution reading and transmission image-region 2,4.Only There are those that high-resolution image-region 2,4 ability is needed to be read out with high-resolution.Have as a result, in image data transmission pre- In the case where determining bandwidth, the boundary speed of image taking is improved, and the data volume of detected printing image 16 is dropped As low as indispensable degree.
In contrast, disadvantage can be: biggish hardware and software expends in terms of scan stripes 9, also, in image It may cause higher cost in the case that total figure is combined as 16 in processing to a certain extent.However, if by this A little costs are compared (in addition, each with the cost of the installation (as being known from the state of the art) for multiple video cameras The work of single camera must be come accurately mutually coordinated with height consuming), then the present invention is significant according to the preferred embodiment More efficient.
