Method And Apparatus For Printing An Image In A Specified Positional Relationship With A Preprinted Registration Mark
US Patent:
5434956, Jul 18, 1995
Filed:
Nov 4, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/971429
Inventors:

International Classification:
G03C 1102
US Classification:
395105
Abstract:
Each two-dimensional alignment mark on a printing medium is found by using information about the whole mark area, or with respect to each of two different directions relative to the medium by using a distinctive two-dimensional pattern or characteristic of the mark; or by finding the mark centroid, or by scanning the mark region to obtain a two-dimensional representation for analysis--and preferably by combinations of these procedures. An image is then aligned and printed by reference to the mark so located. A previous image may also be preprinted in known relation with the mark, so that the new image is aligned with the preprinted one--sometimes on the same piece of medium. Preferably information used includes the mark's intended size, shape, areal disposition and other properties; and a two-dimensional search template is defined which matches the mark in at least one of these. A template position is then found that essentially maximizes areal intersection with the mark; this position is then treated as the mark position, for printing the new image. The invention preferably determines a position of the template along each of two directions in alternation--maximizing the areal intersection with respect to shifting along each direction, iteratively--until no significant increase is obtained.
