Variable glossmark
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for variable glossmark control comprising:
- segmenting an image of interest into a main area and a segment areaselecting a first halftone having a first anisotropic structure orientation;
selecting a second halftone having a second anisotropic structure orientation different from that of the first halftone;
applying the first halftone to the main area and at least some portion of the segment area; and
applying the second halftone to the remaining portion of the segment area to produce a variable glossmark.

Abstract
The present invention relates to the segmentation of an image into a main area and a image segment for variable glossmark data. By selectively applying halftones with anisotropic structure characteristics which are significantly different in orientation while remaining identical in density to the image segment, a variable glossmark may be superimposed within an image with reduced processing and storage requirements.
