Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for controlling the coloring in an offset printing press according to the preamble of claim 1.
- each printing unit When printing a substrate is successively moved through several printing units of a printing press, wherein in each printing unit usually a printing ink is applied to the substrate.
- the four scale colors black, magenta, cyan and yellow and, if appropriate, spot colors are generally printed, with a separate printing unit and therefore inking unit being present for each of these printing inks.

- the ink is moved over several inking rollers in the direction of a plate cylinder or plate cylinder of each printing unit.
- the forme cylinder acts a so-called transfer cylinder or blanket cylinder, which transfers the ink from the forme cylinder to the substrate.
- the color design of a printed product to be printed is set in a so-called pre-press.
- so-called area coverage values are defined for each ink zone to be printed and thus for all inking units of the printing machine involved in the printing for each color zone.
- the ink zone setting elements are adjusted and thus the zonal coloration is determined.
- the present invention is based on the problem to provide a novel method for controlling the color in an offset printing machine.
- color density actual values determined for the compensation of scattered light effects during the measurement of the measuring ranges are corrected using image data of the measuring ranges and using data on the optics of the camera.

Rather, the color density actual values are then detected by measuring the color register marks.
- the color register marks are typically relatively small, dot-shaped or rectangular print control elements having a size between 0.5 mm and 2 mm. Since color register marks are relatively small print control elements, it is important to compensate for scattered light effects when determining color density actual values by measuring color register marks.
- the present invention relates to a method for controlling the color in at least one inking unit of an offset printing machine, namely for controlling the adjustable by Farbzonenstellelemente the respective inking zonal coloring.
- measuring ranges of a printed printing material are measured with the aid of a camera and color density actual values determined are compared with predetermined color density nominal values in order to generate actuating signals for the ink zone setting elements of the respective inking unit, depending on the comparison between the actual color density values and the color density setpoints.
- pressure control elements of the printing material which are printed on the printing material outside of the actual subject are measured as measuring ranges for determining color density actual values.

- the color register marks continue to serve to provide actual values for cut-off register control.
- the color register marks can be supplemented by rastered fields of the same size.
- color register marks printed on the printing substrate outside the subject are detected in a metrological manner such that they supply actual values for color register control and for cutting register control and for controlling the zonal coloration.
- the number of print control elements that are printed on a substrate outside of the actual subject can be reduced to an absolute minimum, so that even in newspaper printing, in which no trimming of printed copies occurs, the pressure control elements are perceived as not disturbing.
- the control of the zonal color scheme is such that for those color zones within which a color register mark lies, the color density actual value for color control determined in the color register mark is measured in the respective color registration mark Color zone is used.
- the corresponding color density actual value is determined using an interpolation between the color density actual values determined during measurement of the register marks or by derivation from zonal presetting values of these color zones in combination with color density actual values. If appropriate, empirically obtained correction values can be taken into account from previous printing processes. However, such color register marks may also be present in each color zone.
- the measurement of the color register marks for the metrological detection of color density actual values takes place with the aid of a camera, wherein the camera is preferably a CCD camera or CMOS camera.

- the first step primarily serves to determine the position of the color register marks, furthermore, measured values of the color register marks determined in the first step can be used as actual values for color register control and / or cut register control.
- measured values of the color register marks are used as actual values for controlling the zonal coloration.
- the determination of the position of the color register marks in the first step can be carried out using known image processing techniques, e.g. By segmentation and feature extraction, or using cross-correlation techniques.
- one and the same source of illumination can be used, which then has to be designed to be switchable over a wide area.
- a surface switchable illumination source In the beam path of such a surface switchable illumination source is at least one switchable element, which either transmits or blocks radiation depending on the switching state or refelcted or reflected at different angles.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Regelung der Farbgebung in einer Offsetdruckmaschine nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a method for controlling the coloring in an offset printing press according to the preamble of claim 1.
Beim Drucken wird ein Bedruckstoff nacheinander durch mehrere Druckwerke einer Druckmaschine bewegt, wobei in jedem Druckwerk in der Regel eine Druckfarbe auf den Bedruckstoff aufgetragen wird. Beim autotypischen Zusammendruck werden in der Regel die vier Skalenfarben Schwarz, Magenta, Cyan und Gelb sowie gegebenenfalls Sonderfarben gedruckt, wobei für jede dieser Druckfarben ein separates Druckwerk und damit Farbwerk vorhanden ist. Das Farbwerk eines jeden Druckwerks verfügt über eine Farbdosiereinrichtung, wobei die Farbdosiereinrichtung eine der Anzahl der Farbzonen entsprechende Anzahl von Farbzonenstellelementen umfasst. Die Farbzonenstellelemente werden auch als Farbschieber oder Farbmesser bezeichnet. Je nach Stellung der Farbzonenstellelemente wird Druckfarbe auf eine Farbkastenwalze, die auch als Duktorwalze bezeichnet wird, aufgetragen. Die in Abhängigkeit der Farbzonenstellelemente je Farbzone auf die Duktorwalze aufgetragene Farbmenge wird von einer Heberwalze oder von einer Filmwalze auf eine nachgeordnete Farbwerkwalze des Farbwerks übertragen. Die Druckfarbe wird über mehrere Farbwerkwalzen in Richtung auf einen Formzylinder bzw. Plattenzylinder des jeweiligen Druckwerks bewegt. Auf dem Formzylinder eines Druckwerks rollt mindestens eine als Farbauftragwalze dienende Farbwerkwalze des jeweiligen Farbwerks ab. Über die oder jede Farbauftragwalze gelangt demnach die Druckfarbe auf mindestens eine auf dem Formzylinder positionierte Druckplatte. Mit dem Formzylinder wirkt ein sogenannter Übertragungszylinder bzw. Gummizylinder zusammen, der die Druckfarbe vom Formzylinder auf den Bedruckstoff überträgt.When printing a substrate is successively moved through several printing units of a printing press, wherein in each printing unit usually a printing ink is applied to the substrate. In the case of autotypical se-tenant printing, the four scale colors black, magenta, cyan and yellow and, if appropriate, spot colors are generally printed, with a separate printing unit and therefore inking unit being present for each of these printing inks. The inking unit of each printing unit has a Farbdosiereinrichtung, wherein the Farbdosiereinrichtung comprises a number of ink zones corresponding number of Farbzonenstellelementen. The Farbzonenstellelemente are also referred to as a color slider or color meter. Depending on the position of the ink zone setting elements, ink is applied to an ink fountain roller, which is also referred to as a ductor roller. The amount of ink applied to the ductor roller per ink zone as a function of the ink zone setting elements is transferred from a lifting roller or from a film roller to a downstream inking unit roller of the inking unit. The ink is moved over several inking rollers in the direction of a plate cylinder or plate cylinder of each printing unit. On the forme cylinder of a printing unit rolls at least one inking roller serving as the inking roller of the respective inking unit. Accordingly, the printing ink reaches at least one printing plate positioned on the forme cylinder via the or each inking roller. With the forme cylinder acts a so-called transfer cylinder or blanket cylinder, which transfers the ink from the forme cylinder to the substrate.
Die farbliche Gestaltung eines zu druckenden Druckerzeugnisses wird in einer sogenannten Druckvorstufe festgelegt. Hierbei werden zum Beispiel für alle zu druckenden Druckfarben und damit für alle am Druck beteiligten Farbwerke der Druckmaschine für jede Farbzone sogenannte Flächendeckungswerte festgelegt. In Abhängigkeit dieser Flächendeckungswerte werden die Farbzonenstellelemente eingestellt und damit die zonale Farbgebung bestimmt.The color design of a printed product to be printed is set in a so-called pre-press. In this case, for example, so-called area coverage values are defined for each ink zone to be printed and thus for all inking units of the printing machine involved in the printing for each color zone. As a function of these area coverage values, the ink zone setting elements are adjusted and thus the zonal coloration is determined.
Aus dem Stand der Technik ist es bereits bekannt, die sich während des Druckens auf dem Bedruckstoff einstellende Farbgebung zu messen und abhängig hiervon die zonale Farbgebung der am Druck beteiligten Farbwerke zu regeln. Hierzu werden in der Regel außerhalb eines Sujets auf den Bedruckstoff gedruckte Messbereiche, sogenannte Druckkontrollelemente, vermessen. Je Farbzone sind dabei typischerweise mehrere als sogenannte Volltonfelder, Rasterfelder oder Graubalancefelder ausgeführte Druckkontrollelemente vorhanden, die jeweils eine Größe von z.B. 2x2mm oder 3x6mm oder 5x5mm aufweisen. Die Druckkotrollelemente können Teil durchgehender Druckkontrollstreifen sein. Hierbei ermittelte Istwerte der zonalen Farbgebung werden an eine Regelungseinrichtung der Druckmaschine übermittelt, in welcher die Istwerte mit Sollwerten verglichen werden, um abhängig von dem Vergleich zwischen den Istwerten und den Sollwerten und damit abhängig von der Regelabweichung zwischen den gemessenen Istwerten und den vorgegebenen Sollwerten Stellsignale für die Farbzonenstellelemente zu erzeugen. Hiermit ist bereits eine automatische Regelung der zonalen Farbgebung möglich.It is already known from the state of the art to measure the coloring which takes place on the printing substrate during printing and, depending thereon, regulates the zonal coloring of the inking units involved in the printing. For this purpose, measuring ranges printed on the printing material, so-called pressure control elements, are usually measured outside a subject. For each color zone, there are typically more than one so-called full tone fields, grids or gray balance fields executed pressure control elements each having a size of e.g. 2x2mm or 3x6mm or 5x5mm. The Druckkotrollelemente can be part of continuous pressure control strip. Actual values of the zonal colorimulation determined here are transmitted to a control device of the printing press, in which the actual values are compared with setpoint values, depending on the comparison between the actual values and the setpoint values and thus dependent on the control deviation between the measured actual values and the predetermined setpoint values to create the color zone actuators. Already an automatic control of the zonal coloring is possible.
Insbesondere im Zeitungsdruck, bei welchem kein Beschnitt hergestellter Druckexemplare erfolgt, werden außerhalb des Sujets auf den Bedruckstoff gedruckte Druckkontrollelemente als störend empfunden. Daher ist es auch bereits bekannt, Messbereiche innerhalb eines Sujets zu vermessen und abhängig hiervon die zonale Farbgebung zu regeln. Die Messung von Messbereichen innerhalb des Sujets ist jedoch fehleranfälliger und damit ungenauer als die Messung von außerhalb des Sujets auf den Bedruckstoff gedruckter Druckkontrollelemente.Particularly in newspaper printing, in which no trimming of printed copies takes place, print control elements printed on the printing material outside the subject are perceived as disturbing. Therefore, it is also already known to measure measuring ranges within a subject and, depending thereon, to regulate the zonal coloring. The measurement of measurement areas within the subject is, however, more error-prone and therefore less accurate than the measurement of print control elements printed on the printing substrate outside of the subject.
Aus der
Weiterer Stand der Technik ist offenbart in der
Hiervon ausgehend liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung das Problem zugrunde, ein neuartiges Verfahren zur Regelung der Farbgebung in einer Offsetdruckmaschine zu schaffen.On this basis, the present invention is based on the problem to provide a novel method for controlling the color in an offset printing machine.
Dieses Problem wird durch ein Verfahren gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst.This problem is solved by a method according to claim 1.
Hiernach werden zur Kompensation von Streulichteffekten bei der Vermessung der Messbereiche ermittelte Farbdichte-Istwerte unter Verwendung von Bilddaten der Messbereiche und unter Verwendung von Daten über die Optik der Kamera korrigiert.Hereinafter, color density actual values determined for the compensation of scattered light effects during the measurement of the measuring ranges are corrected using image data of the measuring ranges and using data on the optics of the camera.
Vorzugsweise werden Farbdichte-Istwerte zur Regelung der zonalen Farbgebung dadurch ermittelt, dass Farbregistermarken, die üblicherweise zur Ermittlung von Istwerten für eine Farbregisterregelung vermessen werden, mit Hilfe einer Kamera messtechnisch erfasst werden. Es wird dann auf separate Druckkontrollelemente zur Ermittlung von Farbdichte-Istwerten verzichtet. Vielmehr werden dann die Farbdichte-Istwerte durch Vermessung der Farbregistermarken erfasst. Bei den Farbregistermarken handelt es sich typischerweise um relativ kleine, punktförmige oder rechteckige Druckkontrollelemente mit einer Größe zwischen 0,5 mm und 2 mm. Da es sich bei Farbregistermarken um relativ kleine Druckkontrollelemente handelt, ist es bei der Ermittlung von Farbdichte-Istwerten durch Vermessung von Farbregistermarken von Bedeutung, Streulichteffekte zu kompensieren.Preferably, color density actual values for controlling the zonal coloration are determined by measuring color register marks, which are usually measured to determine actual values for a color register control, by means of a camera. It is then dispensed with separate pressure control elements for determining color density actual values. Rather, the color density actual values are then detected by measuring the color register marks. The color register marks are typically relatively small, dot-shaped or rectangular print control elements having a size between 0.5 mm and 2 mm. Since color register marks are relatively small print control elements, it is important to compensate for scattered light effects when determining color density actual values by measuring color register marks.
Ebenso ist es jedoch auch möglich, das Verfahren nach der hier vorliegenden Erfindung dann zu verwenden, wenn zur Ermittlung von Farbdichte-Istwerten Ausschnitte bzw. Messbereiche des eigentlichen Sujets des Bedruckstoffs vermessen werden. Auch in diesem Fall kann die Ermittlung von Farbdichte-Istwerten durch die Kompensation von Streulichteffekten genauer erfolgen.Likewise, however, it is also possible to use the method according to the present invention when sections or measuring ranges of the actual subjects of the printing material are measured to determine color density actual values. Also in this case, the determination of color density actual values can be made more accurate by the compensation of scattered light effects.

Die hier vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Regelung der Farbgebung in mindestens einem Farbwerk einer Offsetdruckmaschine, nämlich zur Regelung der durch Farbzonenstellelemente des jeweiligen Farbwerks einstellbaren zonalen Farbgebung. Hierzu werden Messbereiche eines bedruckten Bedruckstoffs mit Hilfe einer Kamera vermessen und dabei ermittelte Farbdichte-Istwerte mit vorgegebenen Farbdichte-Sollwerten verglichen, um abhängig von dem Vergleich zwischen den Farbdichte-Istwerten und den Farbdichte-Sollwerten Stellsignale für die Farbzonenstellelemente des jeweiligen Farbwerks zu erzeugen.The present invention relates to a method for controlling the color in at least one inking unit of an offset printing machine, namely for controlling the adjustable by Farbzonenstellelemente the respective inking zonal coloring. For this purpose, measuring ranges of a printed printing material are measured with the aid of a camera and color density actual values determined are compared with predetermined color density nominal values in order to generate actuating signals for the ink zone setting elements of the respective inking unit, depending on the comparison between the actual color density values and the color density setpoints.
Vorzugsweise wird davon ausgegangen, dass als Messbereiche zur Ermittlung von Farbdichte-Istwerten Druckkontrollelemente des Bedruckstoffs, die außerhalb des eigentlichen Sujets auf dem Bedruckstoff gedruckt sind, vermessen werden.Preferably, it is assumed that pressure control elements of the printing material which are printed on the printing material outside of the actual subject are measured as measuring ranges for determining color density actual values.
Dabei handelt es sich vorzugsweise um Farbregistermarken. Es werden dann Farbdichte-Istwerte dadurch erfasst, dass Farbregistermarken mit Hilfe einer Kamera messtechnisch erfasst werden.These are preferably color register marks. Color density actual values are then recorded by measuring color register marks by means of a camera.
Die Farbregistermarken dienen demnach nicht nur der Bereitstellung von Istwerten zur Farbregisterregelung sondern erfindungsgemäß auch der Bereitstellung von Istwerten zur Regelung der zonalen Farbgebung.Accordingly, the color register marks serve not only to provide actual values for color register control but, according to the invention, also to provide actual values for controlling the zonal coloration.
Vorzugsweise dienen die Farbregistermarken weiterhin der Bereitstellung von Istwerten zur Schnittregisterregelung. Um zusätzliche Informationen für die Regelung zu erhalten, können die Farbregistermarken um gerasterte Felder gleicher Größe ergänzt werden.Preferably, the color register marks continue to serve to provide actual values for cut-off register control. In order to obtain additional information for the control, the color register marks can be supplemented by rastered fields of the same size.
Vorzugsweise werden außerhalb des Sujets auf den Bedruckstoff gedruckte Farbregistermarken derart messtechnisch erfasst, dass dieselben Istwerte zur Farbregisterregelung und zur Schnittregisterregelung und zur Regelung der zonalen Farbgebung liefern.Preferably, color register marks printed on the printing substrate outside the subject are detected in a metrological manner such that they supply actual values for color register control and for cutting register control and for controlling the zonal coloration.
Hierdurch kann die Anzahl der Druckkontrollelemente, die außerhalb des eigentlichen Sujets auf einen Bedruckstoff bedruckt sind, auf ein absolutes Minimum reduziert werden, sodass auch im Zeitungsdruck, in welchem kein Beschnitt gedruckter Druckexemplare erfolgt, die Druckkontrollelemente als nicht störend empfunden werden.In this way, the number of print control elements that are printed on a substrate outside of the actual subject can be reduced to an absolute minimum, so that even in newspaper printing, in which no trimming of printed copies occurs, the pressure control elements are perceived as not disturbing.
Da Farbregistermarken typischerweise nicht in jeder Farbzone eines bedruckten Bedruckstoffs vorhanden sind, wird bei der Regelung der zonalen Farbgebung so vorgegangen, dass für solche Farbzonen, innerhalb derer eine Farbregistermarke liegt, der bei Vermessung der Farbregistermarke ermittelte Farbdichte-Istwert zur Regelung der Farbgebung in der jeweiligen Farbzone verwendet wird.Since color register marks are typically not present in each color zone of a printed substrate, the control of the zonal color scheme is such that for those color zones within which a color register mark lies, the color density actual value for color control determined in the color register mark is measured in the respective color registration mark Color zone is used.
Für solche Farbzonen, innerhalb derer keine Farbregistermarke liegt, wird der entsprechende Farbdichte-Istwert unter Verwendung einer Interpolation zwischen den bei Vermessung der Registermarken ermittelten Farbdichte-Istwerten oder durch Ableitung aus zonalen Voreinstellwerten dieser Farbzonen in Kombination mit Farbdichte-Istwerten ermittelt. Gegebenenfalls können dabei aus vorherigen Druckprozessen empirisch gewonnene Korrekturwerte berücksichtigt werden. Solche Farbregistermarken können jedoch auch in jeder Farbzone vorhanden sein.For those color zones within which there is no color register mark, the corresponding color density actual value is determined using an interpolation between the color density actual values determined during measurement of the register marks or by derivation from zonal presetting values of these color zones in combination with color density actual values. If appropriate, empirically obtained correction values can be taken into account from previous printing processes. However, such color register marks may also be present in each color zone.
Wie bereits erwähnt, erfolgt die Vermessung der Farbregistermarken zur messtechnischen Erfassung von Farbdichte-Istwerten mit Hilfe einer Kamera, wobei es sich bei der Kamera vorzugsweise um eine CCD-Kamera oder CMOS-Kamera handelt. Dabei kann eine farbige Kamera mit weißer Beleuchtung des Bedruckstoffs oder auch eine schwarz/weiß-Kamera mit farbiger Beleuchtung des Bedruckstoffs verwendet werden. Das Blickfeld der verwendeten Kamera erfasst zumindest eine zu vermessende Farbregistermarke vollständig.As already mentioned, the measurement of the color register marks for the metrological detection of color density actual values takes place with the aid of a camera, wherein the camera is preferably a CCD camera or CMOS camera. In this case, a color camera with white illumination of the substrate or a black and white camera with colored illumination of the substrate can be used. The field of view of the camera used captures at least one to be measured color register mark completely.
Bei den Farbregistermarken handelt es sich um relativ kleine, punktförmige oder rechteckige Druckkontrollelemente, die typischerweise einen Durchmesser oder Größe zwischen 0,5 mm und 2 mm aufweisen. Bei der Ermittlung von Farbdichte-Istwerten an solchen relativ kleinen, punktförmigen Druckkontrollelementen besteht das Problem, dass die messtechnisch erfassten Farbdichte-Istwerte durch Streulichteffekte verfälscht sein können. Daher wird nach der hier vorliegenden Erfindung bei der Vermessung der Registermarken zur Ermittlung der Farbdichte-Istwerte eine Kompensation von Streulichteffekten durchgeführt.The color register marks are relatively small, dot-shaped or rectangular print control elements, which typically have a diameter or size between 0.5 mm and 2 mm. When determining color density actual values at such relatively small, punctiform pressure control elements, there is the problem that the measured color density actual values recorded can be falsified by scattered light effects. Therefore, according to the present invention, in the measurement of the register marks for determining the color density actual values, a compensation of scattered light effects is carried out.
Eine Möglichkeit zur Kompensation von Streulichteffekten bei der messtechnischen Erfassung von Farbdichte-Istwerten an relativ kleinen Farbregistermarken wird nachfolgend unter Bezugnahme auf
Der erste Schritt dient demnach in erster Linie der Bestimmung der Position der Farbregistermarken, weiterhin können im ersten Schritt ermittelte Messwerte der Farbregistermarken als Istwerte zur Farbregisterregelung und/oder Schnittregisterregelung verwendet werden. Im zweiten Schritt ermittelte Messwerte der Farbregistermarken werden als Istwerte zur Regelung der zonalen Farbgebung verwendet. Die Ermittlung der Position der Farbregistermarken im ersten Schritt kann unter Verwendung bekannter Methoden der Bildverarbeitung, z. B. durch Segmentierung und Merkmalsextraktion oder unter Verwendung von Kreuzkorrelationsverfahren erfolgen.Accordingly, the first step primarily serves to determine the position of the color register marks, furthermore, measured values of the color register marks determined in the first step can be used as actual values for color register control and / or cut register control. In the second step, measured values of the color register marks are used as actual values for controlling the zonal coloration. The determination of the position of the color register marks in the first step can be carried out using known image processing techniques, e.g. By segmentation and feature extraction, or using cross-correlation techniques.
Zur flächigen Ausleuchtung des gesamten Blickfelds der Kamera im ersten Schritt sowie zur teilweisen Ausleuchtung des Blickfelds der Kamera im zweiten Schritt kann ein und dieselbe Beleuchtungsquelle verwendet werden, die dann flächig schaltbar ausgeführt sein muss. Im Strahlengang einer solchen flächig schaltbaren Beleuchtungsquelle befindet sich mindestens ein schaltbares Element, welches abhängig von dessen Schaltzustand entweder Strahlung durchlässt oder blockiert oder in unterschiedlichen Winkeln refelktiert.For flat illumination of the entire field of view of the camera in the first step and for partial illumination of the field of view of the camera in the second step, one and the same source of illumination can be used, which then has to be designed to be switchable over a wide area. In the beam path of such a surface switchable illumination source is at least one switchable element, which either transmits or blocks radiation depending on the switching state or refelcted or reflected at different angles.
Im ersten Schritt, in welchem das Blickfeld 10 der Kamera flächig ausgeleuchtet wird, ist das oder jedes schaltbare Element der Kamera durchlässig bzw. In Anstellung, im zweiten Schritt hingegen, in welchem das Blickfeld der Kamera ausschließlich in solchen Abschnitten ausgeleuchtet wird, in welchen sich die Farbregistermarken befinden, ist hingegen mindestens eines der schaltbaren Elemente undurchlässig bzw. in Ausstellung. Alternativ kann dass vollflächige Ausleuchten des Blickfelds der Kamera im ersten Schritt und das selektive Ausleuchten des Blickfelds im zweiten Schritt auch durch Verwendung unterschiedlicher Beleuchtungsquellen realisiert werden.In the first step, in which the field of
Erfindungsgemäß erfolgt die Kompensation von Streulichteffekten insbesondere bei der Vermessung der Farbregistermarken zur Ermittlung der Farbdichte-Istwerten zusätzlich oder alternativ über eine mathematische Korrektur, die von Bilddaten der zu vermessenden Farbregistermarken und von Daten über die Optik der Kamera abhängig ist. Bei der mathematischen Korrektur messtechnisch erfasster Farbdichte-Istwerte zur Kompensation von Streulichteffekten wird vorzugsweise eine winkelunabhängige Korrektur und eine winkelabhängige Korrektur durchgeführt, unter Verwendung derer die bei der Vermessung der Farbregistermarken ermittelten Farbdichte-Istwerte korrigiert werden.According to the invention, the compensation of scattered light effects, in particular during the measurement of the color register marks to determine the color density actual values, additionally or alternatively via a mathematical correction, which is dependent on image data to be measured color register marks and data on the optics of the camera. In the mathematical correction of metrologically detected color density actual values for compensation of scattered light effects, an angle-independent correction and an angle-dependent correction are preferably performed, by means of which the color density actual values determined during the measurement of the color register marks are corrected.
Der Korrektur messtechnisch erfasster Farbdichte-Istwerte unter Verwendung einer winkelunabhängigen Korrekturfaktors sowie eines winkelabhängigen Korrekturfaktors liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, dass in einer Kamera ein Messort 16 und ein Hintergrund 15 durch eine Optik 17 der Kamera abgebildet und gestreut werden.The correction of metrologically recorded color density actual values using an angle-independent correction factor and an angle-dependent correction factor is based on the finding that in a camera a
Im winkelunabhängigen Fall der Streuung (siehe
Im winkelabhängigen Fall (siehe
Der winkelunabhängige Korrekturfaktor und der winkelabhängige Korrekturfaktor werden dann zur Korrektur an Farbregistermarken messtechnisch erfassten Farbdichte-Istwerten verwendet.The angle-independent correction factor and the angle-dependent correction factor are then used to correct color register marks for metrologically recorded color density actual values.
Zur Ermittlung des winkelunabhängigen Korrekturfaktors und des winkelabhängigen Korrekturfaktors zur mathematischen Korrektur der an Farbregistermarken messtechnisch ermittelten Farbdichte-Istwerte wird im Detail so vorgegangen, dass ein vorzugsweise schwarzes Volltonfeld im Blickfeld der Kamera positioniert wird und mit einem weißen Element zur Hälfte abgedeckt wird, wobei einerseits eine Dichteverteilung des vollständigen schwarzen Volltonfelds und andererseits eine Dichteverteilung des zu Hälfte mit dem weißen Element abgedeckten Volltonfeld ermittelt wird. Dabei kann dann die Verteilung der Farbdichte nach folgender Formel bestimmt werden:
wobei I die Intensität, I0 die Intensität aus Weißmessung, R die Remission und D die Farbdichte ist.In order to determine the angle-independent correction factor and the angle-dependent correction factor for the mathematical correction of the color register marks metrologically determined color density actual values is proceeded in detail so that a preferably black full-tone field is positioned in the field of view of the camera and covered with a white element in half, on the one hand a Density distribution of the full black solid field and on the other hand, a density distribution of half-covered with the white element solid field is determined. The distribution of the color density can then be determined according to the following formula:
where I is the intensity, I 0 the intensity of white measurement, R the remission and D the color density.
Es wird dann ein Verhältnis der Remissionen weit weg von der durch Abdeckung des Volltonfelds mit dem weißen Element gebildeten Kante gebildet, wobei aus diesem Verhältnis der Remissionen mittels der Referenzitensität des Volltons des unabgedeckten Felds und mittels des Anteils der weißen Fläche eine winkelunabhängig korrigierte Farbdichte berechnet werden kann:
wobei Dkorr der winkelunabhängig korrigierte Farbdichte-Istwert ist, β das Verhältnis der Remissionen (gleich dem Verhältnis der Intensitäten bei gleichem I0) ist und weit weg von der Kante gebildet wird, wobei IS die Streuintensität ist, wobei IR die Referenzintensität des Volltons des unabgedeckten Feldes ist und AR der Anteil der weißen Fläche ist.A ratio of the remissions is then formed far away from the edge formed by covering the solid field with the white element, and an angle-independently corrected color density is calculated from this ratio of reflections by the reference intensity of the solid of the uncovered field and by the proportion of the white area can:
wherein D corr of the angle-independent corrected color density value is the ratio of the remissions β (equal to the ratio of the intensities at the same I 0), and is formed away from the edge, where I S is the scattering intensity, where I R is the reference intensity of the is full tone of the unmasked field and A R is the percentage of white surface.
Zur winkelabhängigen Korrektur der messtechnisch erfassten Farbdichte-Istwerte wird die durch Abdeckung des Volltonfelds mit einem weißen Element erzeugte Kante genauer untersucht, wobei für die winkelunabhängig korrigierten Farbdichte-Istwerten eine Kurvenanpassung mittels eines Least Square Fit durchgeführt wird. Daraus kann ein normierter Korrekturfaktur f(x) ermittelt und die winkelabhängige Korrektur der messtechnisch erfassten Farbdichte-Istwerte nach folgender Formel durchgeführt werden:
wobei Dkorr2 der winkelabhängig korrigierte Farbdichte-Istwert, f(x) der normierte Korrekturfaktor und D∞ die Dichte weit weg von der Kante ist. In der korrigierten Dichte ist für x hier der Radius des Druckkontrollelements einzusetzen.For the angle-dependent correction of the metrologically recorded color density actual values, the edge produced by covering the full-tone field with a white element is examined in more detail, with a curve fit being carried out by means of a least square fit for the color-independent actual values corrected for angle. From this, a normalized correction factor f (x) can be determined and the angle-dependent correction of the metrologically recorded color density actual values can be carried out according to the following formula:
where D korr2 is the angle-dependent corrected color density actual value, f (x) is the normalized correction factor and D ∞ is the density far away from the edge. In the corrected density, the radius of the pressure control element is to be used here for x.
Die oben beschriebene Korrektur von Streulichteffekten kann auch dann Verwendung finden, wenn als Messobjekte Abschnitte des eigentlichen Sujets des bedruckten Bedruckstoffs vermessen werden. Insbesondere findet hierbei die ortsaufgelöste Beleuchtung gemäß
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren findet vorzugsweise innerhalb der Druckmaschine inline zum Bedrucken des Bedruckstoffs Verwendung. Alternativ ist es jedoch auch möglich, dass das Verfahren außerhalb der Druckmaschine offline zum Bedrucken des Bedruckstoffs verwendet wird.The method according to the invention preferably takes place within the printing machine inline for printing on the printing substrate. Alternatively, however, it is also possible for the method to be used offline outside the printing press for printing on the printing substrate.
