Title:
FAULT TOLERANT SUPERPIXEL CONSTRUCTIONS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003093370
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A process for coloring substrates (25), using the application of liquid colorants, in which the assignment of color is done on a pixel-by-pixel basis, and corresponding products. Relatively large areas of a substrate may be given the appearance of being uniformly colored by successively replicating or tiling a group of individually colored pixels comprising a repeating unit (i.e., a superpixel (125)) across the substrate surface. The repeating unit is constructed in such a way that if a colorant application error develops, causing one or more pixels within the repeating unit to be colored incorrectly or incompletely, the overall arrangement of the pixels within the repeating unit will render such error less visually apparent when viewed on the substrate.
