AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, these devices are challenged by the operator's unpredictable and non-linear motion of the device
Variations in operator motion make it difficult to determine the precise position of the printhead
Such positioning errors can have detrimental effects on the quality of the printed image
This is especially true for relatively large print jobs, since positioning errors can accumulate in a combined fashion over the entire print operation

Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for correcting position in a handheld image translation device are described herein. The handheld image translation device may include a position module to determine a first position of the device and a print module to deposit a printing substance on a medium adjacent to the device based at least in part on the position. The device may also include an image capture module to capture surface images of the section of the medium with printing substance deposited thereon. These surface images may be used by the position module to determine subsequent positions of the device. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Description

[0001] This application is a non-provisional application of provisional application 60 / 892,722, filed March 2, 2007, and claims priority to said provisional application. The specification of said provisional application is hereby incorporated in its entirety, except for those portions, if any, which are inconsistent with this specification. technical field [0002] Embodiments of the invention relate to the field of image transformation, and in particular to position correction in hand-held image transformation devices. Background technique [0003] Conventional printing devices rely on a mechanically operated carriage to transport the printhead in a linear direction as other mechanisms advance the print media in a vertical direction. As the printhead moves over the print medium, an image can be produced. Portable printers have been developed through techniques for reducing the size of operating mechanisms. However, the principle of providing relative motion between the pr...
