SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COUNTING RIDGES IN A CAPTURED PRINT IMAGE

摘要

A system and method for counting ridges in a captured print image frame is described. A pixel path through the captured print image frame is traversed. A hysteresis band for the pixel path is determined. A number of crossings of the determined hysteresis band is counted while traversing the pixel path. A number of print ridges based on the counted number of hysteresis band crossings is determined.
