Extensive Works of ISO/IEC 13660 and the Current Status (ISO/IEC JTC1/SC28 and JBMIA SC28/WG4)

摘要

ISO/IEC 13660: 2001 provides basic definitions of image quality attributes for binary, monochrome hardcopy outputs, and it has a significant impact in the office equipment and printing industry. However, calibration (tonal, spatial, resolution, and so on) instructions for measurement instruments such as image scanners, or compliance test charts for the instrument and image data for the algorithm of measurement software and goal values for each attribute are not addressed or prepared sufficiently in this standard. JBMIA (Japan Business Machine and Information System Industries Association) SC28/WG4, the Japanese representative of ISO/IEC JTC1/SC28, has been involved in the development of the standard from the beginning, and has continued the extensive works for developing those additional materials in order to enhance the usability of the standard. This paper will describe the objectives, the developing process, the current status and the future works to extend it to color images.
