METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATIC REMOVAL OF OPTICAL ARTIFACTS IN SCANNING

摘要

A system and method for removing optical iridescent artifacts in an image includes scanning an article having a transparent and reflective surface to create the image, identifying potential optical iridescent artifacts in the image resulting from the scan using a search pattern on the image of the article, confirming through a color analysis operation that the potential optical iridescent artifacts discovered along the search pattern are optical iridescent artifacts and not printed on the article and removing the confirmed iridescent artifacts from the image.
