Abstract
a method for correcting an error in image printing, the method includes receiving a reference digital image (RDI). Based on a predefined selection criterion, one or more regions in the RDI that are suitable for use as anchor features for sensing the error, are selected. A digital image (DI) acquired from a printed image of the RDI, is received and the one or more regions are identified in the DI. Based on the anchor features of the DI, the error is estimated in the printed image. A correction that, when applied to the DI, compensates for the estimated error, is calculated. The estimated error is corrected in a subsequent digital image (SDI) to be printed, and the SDI having the corrected error, is printed.
