Abstract:
1. A method for identifying an existence and an occurrence of a contour, said method comprising: identifying an occurrence of a contour by taking a second derivative of a color space value associated with an image derived via a color management profile that models a behavior of a multi-function device as a smoothness metric; identifying a location of said contour by matching an input value to a corresponding input value of said image to thereafter determine a probability of said contour being visible in a rendered output thereof by separately analyzing said color space value; presenting said occurrence and said location of said contour to assist in quickly and clearly identifying said contour in said image without rendering a physical print thereof and with minimal human interaction and expenditure; selecting a sweep to analyze and a destination profile to render said image; and displaying said rendered image and a graphical bar emanating from a highest probability contour at an appropriate input value in order to enable quick to toggling between said destination profile and said sweep.
