Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Regelung von drucktechnischen Prozessen nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a method for the regulation of printing processes according to the preamble of claim 1.
Die Regelung drucktechnischer Prozesse, wie z. B. eine Schnittregisterregelung, eine Farbregisterregelung oder eine Farbdichtregelung, erfolgt üblicherweise unter Verwendung von auf das Druckprodukt gedruckten Druckkontrollmarken, die mit Hilfe von Sensoren vermessen werden, wobei hierbei ermittelte Istwerte der Druckkontrollmarken mit druckvorstufebasierten Sollwerten für die Druckkontrollmarken verglichen werden, um auf Basis dieses Vergleichs Stellsignale für den zu regelnden drucktechnischen Prozess zu ermitteln. Derartige Druckkontrollmarken, die außerhalb des eigentlichen Druckbilds bzw. Sujets auf das Druckprodukt gedruckt werden, sind insbesondere im Zeitungsdruck störend, da im Zeitungsdruck kein Beschnitt des Druckprodukts erfolgt und demnach die Druckkontrollmarken im Endprodukt sichtbar sind.The regulation of printing processes, such. Example, a cut-off register control, a color register control or a color density control, usually using printed on the printed product pressure control marks, which are measured with the aid of sensors, in which case determined actual values of the print control marks with Druckvorstufebasierten target values for the print control marks are compared to on the basis of this comparison To determine actuating signals for the printing process to be controlled. Such print control marks, which are printed on the printed product outside of the actual print image or subject matter, are particularly disturbing in newspaper printing, since there is no trimming of the printed product in the newspaper print and, accordingly, the print control marks are visible in the end product.
Die

Bei markenlos arbeitenden Verfahren zur Regelung drucktechnischer Prozesse wird zur Vermessung eines auf den Bedruckstoff gedruckten Druckbilds der Bedruckstoff an einem in Laufrichtung bzw. Transportrichtung des Bedruckstoff feststehenden Sensor vorbeibewegt, wobei der Sensor zur Vermessung des Druckbilds einen Messort innerhalb des Druckbilds messtechnisch erfasst. Ebenso wird bei auf Druckkontrollmarken basierenden Verfahren zur Regelung drucktechnischer Prozesse der Bedruckstoff an einem feststehenden Sensor vorbeibewegt, wobei der Sensor zur Vermessung der Druckkontrollmarken einen Messort auf dem Bedruckstoff messtechnisch erfasst.In non-marking methods for controlling printing processes, the printing material is moved past a sensor fixed in the running direction or transport direction of the printing material to measure a printed image printed on the substrate, wherein the sensor detects a measuring location within the printed image by measuring to measure the printed image. Likewise, in the case of printing control processes based on print control marks, the printing material is moved past a fixed sensor, wherein the sensor detects a measuring location on the printing material for measuring the print control marks.
Als Sensor zur Vermessung eines Messorts auf dem bedruckten Bedruckstoff kann entweder ein eindimensionaler Sensor oder ein zweidimensionaler Sensor verwendet werden, wobei ein eindimensionaler Sensor als Messwert einen eindimensionalen Messvektor bereitstellt, wohingegen ein zweidimensionaler Sensor als Messwert eine zweidimensionale Messmatrix bereitstellt. Bei Verwendung einer Kamera als Sensor kann eine Messgenauigkeit zwischen 10 µm und 50 µm problemlos erreicht werden, wobei jedoch eine derart hohe Auflösung einerseits in einem relativ kleinen Messort resultiert und andererseits sehr kurze Belichtungszeiten von weniger als 1 µsec erfordert. Sollen derart kurze Belichtungszeiten realisiert werden, so können keine robusten LED-Blitze verwendet werden, vielmehr müssen dann relativ teure Lampenblitze verwendet werden, die relativ schnell erschöpfen und demnach sehr häufig gewartet werden müssen. Des Weiteren bedingt die Vermessung des Messorts mit einer derart hohen Auflösung große Rechenzeiten.Either a one-dimensional sensor or a two-dimensional sensor can be used as a sensor for measuring a measuring location on the printed substrate, wherein a one-dimensional sensor provides a one-dimensional measuring vector as the measured value, whereas a two-dimensional sensor provides a two-dimensional measuring matrix as the measured value. When using a camera as a sensor, a measurement accuracy between 10 microns and 50 microns can be easily achieved, but such a high resolution on the one hand results in a relatively small site and on the other hand requires very short exposure times of less than 1 microseconds. If such short exposure times are to be realized, then robust LED flashes can not be used, but then relatively expensive lamp flashes must be used, which exhaust relatively quickly and therefore must be maintained very frequently. Furthermore, the measurement of the measuring location with such a high resolution requires large calculation times.
Es besteht ein Bedarf an einem Verfahren zur Regelung von drucktechnischen Prozessen, bei welchen auch dann, wenn mit geringer Auflösung gearbeitet wird, eine hochgenaue Regelung realisiert werden kann.There is a need for a method for controlling printing processes, in which even when working with low resolution, a highly accurate control can be realized.
Hiervon ausgehend liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein neuartiges Verfahren zur Regelung von drucktechnischen Prozessen zu schaffen.On this basis, the present invention has the object to provide a novel method for the regulation of printing processes.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Verfahren zur Regelung von drucktechnischen Prozessen gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst. Erfindungsgemäß wird die oder jede Regelabweichung derart ermittelt, dass zuerst der Istwert und der Sollwert bei reduzierter Auflösung in einem Korrelationsverfahren verrechnet werden, und dass anschließend im Bereich des Maximums der Korrelation zur Subpixelapproximation eine Interpolation durchgeführt wird.This object is achieved by a method for controlling printing processes according to claim 1. According to the invention, the or each system deviation is determined in such a way that the actual value and the desired value are first offset at reduced resolution in a correlation method, and then an interpolation is performed in the region of the maximum of the correlation to the subpixel approximation.
Im Sinne der hier vorliegenden Erfindung wird zur Ermittlung der oder jeder Regelabweichung der jeweilige Istwert mit dem jeweiligen Sollwert zuerst bei reduzierter Auflösung in einem Korrelationsverfahren errechnet, anschließend wird im Bereich des Maximums der Korrelation eine Interpolation zur Subpixelapproximation durchgeführt. Mit der Erfindung ist es möglich, Istwerte und Sollwerte mit relativ geringer Auflösung in einem Korrelationsverfahren zu verrechnen, wodurch Rechenzeit eingespart werden kann.For the purposes of the present invention, to determine the or each control deviation, the respective actual value is first calculated with reduced resolution in a correlation method, then an interpolation for sub-pixel approximation is performed in the region of the maximum of the correlation. With the invention, it is possible to calculate actual values and setpoints with relatively low resolution in a correlation method, whereby computing time can be saved.
Durch die nachgeschaltete Subpixelapproximation kann jedoch, da jeder Wert eines sich beim Korrelationsverfahren ergebenden Korrelationsvektors bzw. einer sich ergebenden Korrelationsmatrix eine sehr genaue Fließkommazahl darstellt, trotzdem in einer sehr hohen Auflösung die Lage des Maximums der Korrelation und damit hochgenau die Regelabweichung ermittelt werden. Hierbei kann sogar gegenüber dem Stand der Technik die Auflösung übertroffen werden.However, since each value of a correlation vector resulting in the correlation method or of a resulting correlation matrix represents a very precise floating-point number, the position of the maximum of the correlation and thus the highly accurate control deviation can nevertheless be determined in a very high resolution by means of the downstream subpixel approximation. In this case, even over the prior art, the resolution can be exceeded.

Die hier vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Regelung von drucktechnischen Prozessen, insbesondere zur Schnittregisterregelung oder Farbregisterregelung oder zur Messortbestimmung bei der Farbdichteregelung oder Farbortregelung oder jedes anderen drucktechnischen Prozesses, bei welchem zur Regelung ein Messort auf einem Bedruckstoff mit Hilfe eines Sensors vermessen wird. Der Messort auf dem Bedruckstoff wird mit Hilfe eines in Laufrichtung bzw. Transportrichtung des Bedruckstoff ortsfesten Sensors vermessen, wobei hierzu der Bedruckstoff an dem ortsfesten Sensor vorbeibewegt wird.The present invention relates to a method for controlling printing processes, in particular for cutting register control or color register control or for measuring location in the color density control or color location control or any other printing process in which a measuring location on a substrate is measured by means of a sensor for controlling. The measuring location on the printing material is measured by means of a stationary in the running direction or transport direction of the substrate pressure sensor, for which purpose the printing material is moved past the stationary sensor.
Bei der Vermessung des definierten Messorts wird mindestens ein Istwert erfasst, wobei der oder jeder gemessene Istwert mit jeweils einem druckvorstufebasierten Sollwert verglichen wird. Auf Basis mindestens einer aus dem oder jedem Istwert und dem jeweiligen Sollwert ermittelten Regelabweichung wird mindestens ein Stellsignal für den zu regelnden drucktechnischen Prozess ermittelt.When measuring the defined measuring location at least one actual value is detected, wherein the or each measured actual value is compared with each one pre-pressure based setpoint. On the basis of at least one control deviation determined from the or each actual value and the respective nominal value, at least one actuating signal for the printing-technical process to be controlled is determined.
Im Sinne der hier vorliegenden Erfindung wird zur Ermittlung der oder jeder Regelabweichung zuerst der jeweilige Istwert mit dem jeweiligen Sollwert bei reduzierter Auflösung in einem Korrelationsverfahren verrechnet, wobei anschließend im Bereich des Maximums der Korrelation zur Subpixelapproximation eine Interpolation durchgeführt wird. Die Korrelation wird vorzugsweise als normierte Kreuzkorrelation durchgeführt.For the purposes of the present invention, to determine the or each control deviation, the respective actual value is first offset with the respective desired value with reduced resolution in a correlation method, wherein an interpolation is then carried out in the region of the maximum of the correlation to the subpixel approximation. The correlation is preferably performed as normalized cross-correlation.
Eine normierte Kreuzkorrelation erfolgt unter Verwendung der folgenden Gleichungen, wobei cor die normierte Kreuzkorrelation ist, und wobei A der Istwert ist, und wobei B der Sollwert ist.
wobei gilt:
where:
Die Größe n entspricht der Anzahl der Messpunkte im Istwert sowie der Sollpunkte im Sollwert und demnach der Auflösung derselben, wobei die Auflösung des Istwerts der Auflösung des Sollwerts entspricht.The quantity n corresponds to the number of measuring points in the actual value as well as the setpoint points in the nominal value and thus the resolution thereof, the resolution of the actual value corresponding to the resolution of the nominal value.
Dann, wenn zur Durchführung des Verfahrens ein eindimensionaler Sensor verwendet wird, handelt es sich bei den Größen A und B um Vektoren mit n Elementen. Dann, wenn ein zweidimensionaler Sensor, z. B. eine Kamera, verwendet wird, handelt es sich bei den Größen A und B um Matrizen mit n Elementen, wobei die n Elemente der Matrizen in Spalten und Zeilen strukturiert sind. Es können auch mehrere eindimensionale Sensoren verwendet werden, um als Istwert ein zweidimensionales Messfeld bzw. eine Messmatrix bereitzustellen, die mehrere eindimensionale Messspuren bzw. Messvektoren umfasst.Then, when a one-dimensional sensor is used to perform the method, the sizes A and B are vectors with n elements. Then, when a two-dimensional sensor, for. As a camera, is used, the sizes A and B are matrices with n elements, wherein the n elements of the matrices are structured in columns and rows. It is also possible to use a plurality of one-dimensional sensors in order to provide as actual value a two-dimensional measuring field or a measuring matrix which comprises a plurality of one-dimensional measuring tracks or measuring vectors.
Als Ergebnis der normierten Kreuzkorrelation liegt abhängig davon, ob ein eindimensionaler Sensor oder ein zweidimensionaler Sensor verwendet wird, ein eindimensionaler Korrelationsvektor oder eine zweidimensionale Korrelationsmatrix vor.As a result of the normalized cross correlation, depending on whether a one-dimensional sensor or a two-dimensional sensor is used, there is a one-dimensional correlation vector or a two-dimensional correlation matrix.
Wie bereits ausgeführt, erfolgt die Korrelation von Istwert und Sollwert bei reduzierter bzw. verringerter Auflösung, wobei vorzugsweise mit einer Reduzierung um den Faktor 2rn gearbeitet wird.As already stated, the correlation between the actual value and the desired value takes place at a reduced or reduced resolution, preferably with a reduction by a factor of 2 nm .
Für einen zweidimensionalen Sensor führt dies bei m=3 zu einer Reduzierung der Datenmenge auf 1/64 bei einer Reduzierung der Auflösung auf 1/8. Bei einer derartigen Reduzierung spricht man auch von einer reduzierten Auflösung im Sinne einer dritten Ebene der Bildpyramide.For a two-dimensional sensor, this leads to a reduction of the data amount to 1/64 with a reduction of the resolution to 1/8 at m = 3. Such a reduction is also referred to as a reduced resolution in the sense of a third level of the image pyramid.
Bei Durchführung einer Korrelation mit einer derart stark reduzierten Auflösung bzw. Datenmenge ist die Lage des Maximums im Korrelationsvektor bzw. der Korrelationsmatrix stark quantisiert, jeder Wert des Korrelationsvektors bzw. der Korrelationsmatrix ist jedoch eine sehr genaue Fließkommazahl, so dass sich durch eine Interpolation die Lage des Maximums in einer sehr hohen Auflösung bzw. Genauigkeit ermitteln lässt.When a correlation is performed with such a greatly reduced resolution or data quantity, the position of the maximum in the correlation vector or the correlation matrix is highly quantized, but each value of the correlation vector or of the correlation matrix is a very precise floating-point number, so that the position can be determined by interpolation of the maximum in a very high resolution or accuracy can be determined.
Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren wird es möglich, zur Erfassung des oder jedes Istwerts in Verbindung mit einem als Kamera ausgebildeten Sensor einen LED-Blitz mit einer relativ langen Belichtungszeit von 30 µsec zu verwenden. Hierdurch kann ein relativ großer Messort mit einer Fläche von einigen Hundert Quadratmillimetern, z. B. ein Messort mit der Abmessung 32 mm x 24 mm, vermessen werden. Insofern kann relativ robuste und kostengünstige Hardware zur Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens verwendet werden.With the method according to the invention, it is possible to use an LED flash with a relatively long exposure time of 30 μsec for detecting the or each actual value in conjunction with a sensor designed as a camera. This allows a relatively large site with an area of a few hundred square millimeters, z. B. a measuring location with the dimension 32 mm x 24 mm, to be measured. In this respect, relatively robust and inexpensive hardware can be used to carry out the method according to the invention.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren kann zur Schnittregisterregelung, zur Farbregisterregelung sowie zur Messortbestimmung bei der Farbdichteregelung oder Farbortregelung verwendet werden. Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren eignet sich sowohl für markenlos arbeitende Regelverfahren als auch für Regelverfahren unter Verwendung von Druckkontrollmarken.The method according to the invention can be used for cut-off register control, for color register control as well as for measuring location determination in color density control or chromaticity control. The method according to the invention is suitable both for non-marking control methods and for control methods using pressure control marks.
So kann das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren z. B. bei einer markenlosen Farbregisterregelung unter Verwendung eines separaten Messorts für die Druckfarbe schwarz und eines gemeinsamen Messorts für die Druckfarben Zyan, Magenta und Gelb verwendet werden. Als Sensor wird dann vorzugsweise eine zweidimensionale Farbkamera verwendet.Thus, the inventive method z. Example, in a markless color register control using a separate location for the ink black and a common location for the inks cyan, magenta and yellow are used. As a sensor, a two-dimensional color camera is then preferably used.
Ebenso ist es möglich, das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren für eine markenlose Farbregisterregelung unter Verwendung eines mehrfarbigen Messorts mit einer markanten Struktur in einer Druckfarbe zu verwenden.It is also possible to use the method according to the invention for a markless color register control using a multicolored measuring location with a distinctive structure in a printing ink.
