Abstract: L'invention concerne un système d'entrée-sortie probabiliste utilisé pour classifier des supports (18) dans des applications d'impression. Ce système d'entrée-sortie probabiliste utilise au moins deux paramètres d'entrée pour engendrer une sortie qui présente une dépendance conjointe des paramètres d'entrée. Ces paramètres d'entrée sont associés à des mesures afférentes à des images acquises à partir de caractéristiques de texture (26, 28 et 32) d'imagerie qui sont typiques des différentes classes (types et/ou groupes) de supports possibles. La sortie constitue une meilleure correspondance dans une corrélation entre des informations de référence stockées (62) et des informations spécifiques d'un support inconnu d'intérêt. Ces techniques de modélisation pondérées par grappes sont utilisées pour engendrer des résultats de classification extrêmement précis. Au sein du processus d'imagerie, un éclairage d'angle d'incidence (à savoir, l'introduction d'une lumière à un angle d'au moins 45 degrés par rapport à la perpendiculaire de la surface imagée) produit des contrastes suffisants pour distinguer les caractéristiques structurelles (par exemple, des fibres de papier) du support inconnu, mais un éclairage non incident peut être utilisé lorsque des mesures spéculaires doivent être obtenues.
