“…However, evaluating the graininess in HSV colour space was not a proper method, and its results were unacceptable. The basis of the acceptance was first, the correlation coefficients attained from other procedures, and they were all above 0.70; and second, it was based on previous works, such as the studies of Eid et al 26 , Perales et al 33 , Lee et al 19 , and Ko et al 34 that all considered an above 0.70 correlation coefficient as an acceptable value. Nevertheless, among these methods, none of them resulted in a desirable correlation in the part in the effect of paper on graininess was studied.…”

“…According to a report from members of the Japan Business Machine and Information System Industries Association (JBMIA) in 2008, the correlation coefficients between the procedures suggested by the standard ISO/IEC 13660 and visual assessment were relatively small for graininess and mottling. 19,30 Given the limitations in the standard ISO/IEC 13660, the standard ISO/IEC 24790 was proposed to eliminate the previous deficiencies and increase the accuracy of measurements by making various corrections. 20 Consequently, conformance test charts and the goal values for measurement system qualification were specified for 10 other image quality attributes, which had not been considered by the standard ISO/IEC 13660.…”

“…All the measurement procedures in this standard are defined for monochrome printers. 19,20 According to this standard, image quality attributes are divided into two groups: large area attributes and character and line attributes. Large area attributes include large area darkness, background darkness, graininess, mottle, background extraneous mark, large area void, and banding.…”

“…The correlation coefficient between visual assessments and measurements for three dark, med, and light areas was 0.81 overall. Lee et al 19 created discrete wavelet-filtered images for both mottle and graininess. Their work was based on the definitions in the standard ISO/ IEC 24790.…”

Printing quality control has been one of the challenges in the printing industry.Therefore, it is indispensable to find evaluation methods with high correlations with the human visual system to assess the quality of the printed images. Standard ISO/ IEC 24790 is one of the recommended standards to achieve this goal. An evaluation procedure for graininess, a common defect in printing, has been presented in this standard; however, this procedure is suggested only for monochrome printed images.

“…However, they quantified grain across the entire frequency range, based on the slope of the one-dimensional distribution of wavelet coefficients. Lee et al 7 generated separate waveletfiltered images for each graininess and mottle, based upon the proposed ISO/IEC TS 24790 definitions. They combined these two images as a weighted sum to obtain a metric for two-dimensional noise.…”

Grain is one of several attributes described in ISO/IEC TS 24790, a technical specification for the measurement of image quality for monochrome printed output. It defines grain as aperiodic fluctuations of lightness greater than 0.4 cycles per millimeter, a definition inherited from the latest official standard on printed image quality, ISO/IEC 13660. Since this definition places no bounds on the upper frequency range, higher-frequency fluctuations (such as those from the printer's halftone pattern) could contribute significantly to the measurement of grain artifacts. In a previous publication, we introduced a modification to the ISO/IEC 13660 grain measurement algorithm that includes a band-pass, wavelet-based, filtering step to limit the contribution of high-frequency fluctuations. This modification improves the algorithm's correlation with the subjective evaluation of experts who rated the severity of printed grain artifacts. Seeking to improve upon the grain algorithm in ISO/IEC 13660, the ISO/IEC TS 24790 committee evaluated several graininess metrics. This led to the selection of the above wavelet-based approach as the top candidate algorithm for inclusion in a future ISO/IEC standard. Our recent experimental results showed r 2 correlation of 0.9278 between the wavelet-based approach and the subjective evaluation conducted by the ISO committee members based upon 26 samples covering a variety of printed grain artifacts. On the other hand, our experiments on the same data set showed much lower correlation (r 2 = 0.3555) between the ISO/IEC 13660 approach and the same subjective evaluation of the ISO committee members. In addition, we introduce an alternative approach for measuring grain defects based on spatial frequency analysis of wavelet-filtered images. Our goal is to establish a link between the spatial-based grain (ISO/IEC TS 24790) approach and its equivalent frequency-based one in light of Parseval's theorem. Our experimental results showed r 2 correlation near 0.99 between the spatial and frequency-based approaches.
