Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of printing plate making, and in particular to a green and environmentally friendly printing plate making method and device. Background Art

[0002] In the field of printing plate making, the quality of offset printing plates directly affects the final effect of printed products. With the increasing awareness of environmental protection and the continuous increase in market demand for high-quality printed products, traditional printing plate making technology has gradually exposed some problems.

[0003] In the prior art, due to inaccurate exposure parameter adjustment, the printing plate is discarded because the clarity does not meet the standard, resulting in waste of photosensitive materials, chemicals, etc. At the same time, repeated production of offset printing plates also increases energy consumption, which is not in line with the concept of green environmental protection.

[0004] In the existing technology, it is rare to monitor the exposure effect of the offset printing plate in real time and provide timely feedback and adjustment. This means that if there is a problem during the exposure process, it cannot be discovered and corrected in time, and the problem is not discovered until the offset printing plate is completed. At this time, it can only be discarded or remade, which increases cost and time consumption.

[0005] To this end, the present invention provides a green and environmentally friendly printing plate making method and device. Summary of the invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a green and environmentally friendly printing plate making method and device to solve at least one of the above-mentioned prior art problems.

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a green and environmentally friendly printing plate making method, comprising:

[0008] Step 1: Use an image sensor to collect an image of an offset printing plate after exposure, divide the image into multiple detection blocks, and obtain the grayscale value of each pixel in the detection block;

[0009] Step 2: Analyze the exposure results of each detection block, use the edge detection algorithm to obtain the edge strength of each monitoring block, perform numerical analysis based on the block gray value, and obtain the image clarity Tx. Based on the image clarity Tx, determine whether the image clarity meets the requirements;

[0010] Step 3: If the image clarity does not meet the requirements, obtain the historical image clarity and exposure time, construct an image clarity sequence and an exposure time sequence, and perform a correlation analysis on the image clarity sequence and the exposure time sequence to determine whether the exposure time of the offset printing plate is correlated with the image clarity;

[0011] Step 4: If the exposure time of the offset printing plate is correlated with the image clarity Tx, mark the offset printing plate whose image clarity Tx is lower than the minimum value of the image clarity range as an exposure optimized plate, perform fitting analysis on the image clarity and exposure time, obtain the exposure compensation time, and compensate the exposure time of the exposure optimized plate based on the exposure compensation time.

[0012] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a green and environmentally friendly printing platemaking device, comprising: an image acquisition module: using an image sensor to acquire an image of an offset printing plate after exposure, dividing the image into a plurality of detection blocks, and obtaining a grayscale value of each pixel in the detection block;

[0013] Image analysis module: analyzes the exposure results of each detection block, uses the edge detection algorithm to obtain the edge strength of each monitoring block, performs numerical analysis based on the block gray value, obtains the image clarity Tx, and based on the image clarity Tx, determines whether the image clarity meets the requirements;

[0014] Correlation calculation module: If the image clarity does not meet the requirements, obtain the historical image clarity and exposure time, construct the image clarity sequence and exposure time sequence, and perform correlation analysis on the image clarity sequence and exposure time sequence to determine whether the exposure time of the offset printing plate is correlated with the image clarity;

[0015] Compensation optimization module: If the exposure time of the offset printing plate is correlated with the image clarity Tx, the offset printing plate whose image clarity Tx is lower than the minimum value of the image clarity range is marked as an exposure optimized plate, and a fitting analysis is performed on the image clarity and exposure time to obtain the exposure compensation time. Based on the exposure compensation time, the exposure time of the exposure optimized plate is compensated.

[0016] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0017] 1. By collecting the offset printing plate image and dividing it into detection blocks, the edge detection algorithm is used in combination with the block grayscale value to accurately calculate the image clarity Tx, so as to judge the exposure effect. For offset printing plates that do not meet the clarity requirements, the historical image clarity and exposure time data are further obtained, and the correlation analysis is performed to determine the relationship between exposure time and image clarity.

[0018] 2. For the exposure optimization board with image clarity Tx lower than the minimum value of the range, the exposure compensation time is obtained through fitting analysis and compensation is performed. This data-driven precision optimization method can make the exposure time more accurately adapt to the characteristics of each offset printing plate, effectively improve image clarity, reduce edge blur and abnormal contrast caused by underexposure or overexposure, and reduce the number of repeated production due to offset printing plate quality problems, thereby achieving green and environmentally friendly printing platemaking.

[0024] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Embodiment 1

[0026] Figure 1 The flowchart of the image acquisition and analysis method provided in the first embodiment of the present invention is applicable to the case of offset plate image acquisition and image analysis. The image acquisition and analysis method can be executed by a green and environmentally friendly printing platemaking system. The green and environmentally friendly printing platemaking system can be implemented by software and / or hardware. The green and environmentally friendly printing platemaking system can be configured in a green and environmentally friendly printing platemaking device. Optionally, a green and environmentally friendly printing platemaking device can be an electronic device, which can be a notebook, a desktop computer, a smart tablet, etc., and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit this.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for image acquisition and analysis provided by the embodiment of the present invention specifically includes the following steps:

[0028] Step 1: Use an image sensor to collect and expose the image of the offset printing plate in real time, divide the image into multiple detection blocks, and obtain the grayscale value of each pixel in the detection block;

[0029] In some embodiments, an image sensor is installed on the top of the exposure device, and the image sensor is used to obtain an image of the offset printing plate, and the image is divided into a plurality of detection blocks;

[0030] It should be noted that in the process of offset printing, the photosensitive material will undergo a photochemical reaction under the action of ultraviolet rays. After the exposed image and text part of the offset printing plate is developed, the unexposed part will be removed during the development process, and the exposed image and text part will be retained;

[0031] In some embodiments, an image of the offset printing plate after exposure of each monitoring block is acquired, and the color image is converted into a grayscale image;

[0032] Specifically, the gray value Gray of each pixel in each monitoring block of the image is obtained by the gray value calculation formula: Gray = 0.299*R+0.587*G+0.114*B, and the gray value of each pixel is adjusted according to the gray value, where R, G, and B are the pixel values ​​of the red, green, and blue channels of the offset plate image, respectively, and the pixel values ​​of the red, green, and blue channels are obtained by the image sensor;

[0033] For example, if the pixel values ​​of the R, G, and B channels of a pixel are 100, 120, and 80 respectively, the gray value Gray is 109.46 according to the gray value calculation formula;

[0034] Based on the grayscale calculation formula, the grayscale value of each pixel is extracted;

[0035] Step 2: Based on the gray value of each pixel, analyze the exposure result of each detection block, use the edge detection algorithm to obtain the edge strength G(i,j) of each monitoring block, and perform numerical analysis in combination with the block gray value to obtain the image clarity Tx. Based on the image clarity Tx, determine whether the image clarity meets the requirements;

[0036] In some embodiments, an edge detection algorithm is used to obtain the edge strength G(i, j) of each detection block;

[0037] Specifically, the Sobel operator of the edge detection algorithm is used to construct two 3x3 convolution kernels, and the coordinate system is established with the upper left vertex of the image as the origin. The coordinates of each pixel are (i, j);

[0038] Based on the grayscale value of the pixel in each monitoring block, the grayscale change gradient of the image of each detection block in the horizontal and vertical directions is calculated respectively, and the gradient in the horizontal direction is marked as Gx (i, j), the gradient value in the vertical direction is G y (i,j);

[0039] Exemplarily, the convolution kernel in the vertical direction of the pixel point (1, 1) coordinate is: The horizontal convolution kernel is:

[0040] Get the coordinates (i, j) of the pixel point in the monitoring block and the convolution kernel corresponding to the pixel coordinates, and calculate the horizontal gradient value G of each pixel point in the monitoring block x (i,j);

[0041] By formula: Get the gradient value in the horizontal direction;

[0042] Where I(i+m, j+n) is the grayscale value of the pixel with coordinates (i+m, j+n) in the detection block, and K x (m,n) is the corresponding element in the horizontal convolution kernel, and m and n are index variables used to traverse the position of the convolution kernel elements;

[0043] It should be noted that for the Sobel convolution kernel in the horizontal direction, it is a 3x3 matrix with 9 elements. The value range of m and n is [0,2]. When m=0 and n=0, it represents the element in the upper left corner of the convolution kernel. When m=0 and n=1, it represents the element in the first row and second column of the convolution kernel. Based on the increasing element number, it is ensured that each element can be multiplied with the corresponding pixel in the image pixel area.

[0044] Based on the horizontal gradient value calculation method of the pixel point in the monitoring block, the vertical gradient value G of the pixel point is obtained. y (i,j);

[0045] Based on the horizontal gradient value G x (i, j), the gradient value G in the vertical direction y (i, j), obtain the edge strength G(i, j) of each detection block;

[0046] By formula Get the edge strength G(i,j) of each pixel in the detection block;

[0047] For example, taking the pixel (1, 1) as an example, when m = 0 and n = 0, 1, 2, G x (1,1)=-20, -40, -20, when m=1 and n=0, 1, 2, G x (1,1)=20,0,0, when m=2 and n=0,1,2, G x(1,1) = -20, -40, -20, and the horizontal gradient value G is obtained by summing x (1,1) = -140, based on the vertical gradient calculation method in the horizontal direction, the vertical gradient value G is obtained y (1,1)=0, edge strength G(1,1)=140;

[0048] Obtain the edge strength G(i,j) of all pixels in the monitoring block, sum and average the edge strength G(i,j) of all pixels to obtain the block edge strength;

[0049] Obtain the block edge strength of all monitoring blocks, sum and average the edge strength of all monitoring blocks to obtain the image edge strength, and mark the image edge strength as By;

[0050] Obtain the grayscale value of each pixel in the monitoring block, put the grayscale value of each pixel into a grayscale value data group, and obtain the maximum and minimum grayscale values ​​in the grayscale value data group;

[0051] Perform difference processing on the maximum and minimum gray values ​​in the gray value data group to obtain the block contrast;

[0052] Obtain the block contrast of all monitoring blocks, sum and average the block contrast of all monitoring blocks to obtain the image contrast, and mark the image contrast as Db;

[0053] Based on the image edge intensity By and image contrast Db, dimensionless processing is performed to calculate the image clarity Tx;

[0054] By formula: Get the image clarity Tx, where a=0.561, b=0.439;

[0055] Compare the image clarity Tx with the image clarity range to determine whether the clarity of the offset printing plate image after exposure meets the requirements;

[0056] If the image clarity Tx is within the image clarity range, it indicates that the clarity of the offset printing plate image after exposure meets the requirements;

[0057] If the image clarity Tx is not within the image clarity range, it means that the image clarity Tx does not meet the requirements within the offset printing plate image after exposure;

[0058] For example, if the block edge strength is 140 and the block contrast is 70, the image clarity calculation formula is used to obtain the image clarity Tx=0.713 and the image clarity range is [1,2.5], indicating that the image clarity of the offset printing plate is not within the image clarity range and the image clarity does not meet the requirements;

[0059] It should be noted that edge strength reflects the degree of edge prominence in an image. If the edge strength of each detected block of an image is higher, the image will be clearer and sharper. If the edge strength is lower, the clarity of the image text will be lower.

[0060] Block contrast reflects the degree of difference between the bright and dark parts of the image. High-contrast blocks tend to have higher clarity and greater grayscale differences, that is, high block contrast, which can make the outline and details of the object clearer;

[0061] The technical solution of this embodiment is: using an image sensor to collect in real time, the image of the offset printing plate after exposure is divided into multiple detection blocks, and the grayscale value of each pixel in the detection block is obtained. Based on the grayscale value of each pixel, the exposure result of each detection block is analyzed, and the edge detection algorithm is used to obtain the edge strength of each monitoring block. The block grayscale value is combined for numerical analysis to obtain the image clarity Tx. Based on the image clarity Tx, it is judged whether the image clarity meets the requirements, thereby realizing the analysis and judgment of the offset printing plate clarity, and laying a data foundation for subsequent optimization analysis.

[0062] Embodiment 2

[0063] like Figure 2 As shown, the method for association analysis and exposure optimization provided by the embodiment of the present invention specifically includes the following steps:

[0064] Step 3: If the image clarity does not meet the requirements, obtain the historical image clarity and exposure time, construct an image clarity sequence and an exposure time sequence, and perform a correlation analysis on the image clarity sequence and the exposure time sequence to determine whether the exposure time of the offset printing plate is correlated with the image clarity;

[0065] If the image clarity does not meet the requirements, obtain the historical image clarity data and construct the image clarity sequence X;

[0066] Where X=[Tx1 Tx2 ... Tx z ], z is the total number of historical images, Tx1 represents the clarity of the first image;

[0067] In some embodiments, a timer is installed in the exposure device to obtain the exposure time of each exposure offset printing plate, and the exposure time is marked as Pg;

[0068] Get the exposure time of each historical image and construct the exposure time series Y;

[0069] Where Y=[Pg1 Pg2 ... Pg z ], z is the total number of images, Pg1 is the exposure time of the first image;

[0070] Normalize the image clarity sequence X and the exposure time sequence Y;

[0071] Specifically, through the formula: Get the average value of the image clarity sequence X The clarity of each image in the image clarity sequence is equal to the average value of the image clarity sequence X. Perform ratio processing to obtain the image clarity sequence X′;

[0072] Based on the acquisition method of the image definition sequence X′, the exposure time sequence Y′ is obtained;

[0073] Calculate the correlation coefficient ξ based on the image clarity sequence X′ and exposure time sequence Y′ i (k);

[0074] By formula: Get the correlation coefficient ξ i (k), where k represents the kth data point in the image clarity sequence X′ or the exposure time sequence Y′, k = 1, 2, ..., z, ρ is the resolution coefficient, ρ = 0.5, min i min k |X i ′(k)-Y i ′(k)| represents the absolute value of the minimum difference between the two levels, max i max k |X i ′(k)-Y i ′(k)| represents the absolute value of the maximum difference between the two levels;

[0075] It should be noted that the minimum difference between the two levels and the maximum difference between the two levels reflect the degree of difference in the sequence;

[0076] Based on the correlation coefficient ξ i (k) Calculate the correlation coefficient ξ of the image clarity sequence X′ and the exposure time sequence Y′ i (k);

[0077] By formula: Get the grey relational degree r, where r ranges from (0,1);

[0078] It should be noted that the closer r is to 1, the higher the correlation between exposure time and image clarity Tx, and the closer r is to 0, the lower the correlation;

[0079] The grey relational degree r is processed with the maximum endpoint value of the r value range (0,1) to obtain the relational difference;

[0080] The correlation difference is processed by ratioing the length of the r value range to obtain the correlation closeness ratio;

[0081] Compare the correlation proximity ratio with the proximity ratio threshold to determine whether the exposure time of the offset printing plate is correlated with the image definition Tx;

[0082] If the correlation proximity ratio is higher than the proximity ratio threshold, it indicates that the exposure time of the offset printing plate is correlated with the image definition Tx;

[0083] If the correlation proximity ratio is lower than the proximity ratio threshold, it indicates that the exposure time of the offset printing plate is not correlated with the image definition Tx;

[0084] Step 4: If the exposure time of the offset printing plate is correlated with the image definition Tx, the offset printing plate whose image definition Tx is lower than the minimum value of the image definition range is marked as an exposure optimized plate, and the image definition and exposure time are fitted and analyzed to obtain the exposure compensation time. Based on the exposure compensation time, the exposure time of the exposure optimized plate is compensated;

[0085] If the image clarity Tx is lower than the minimum value of the image clarity range, the offset printing plate corresponding to the image is marked as an exposure optimized plate;

[0086] If the image clarity Tx is higher than the maximum value of the image clarity range, no processing is performed;

[0087] It should be noted that when the image clarity Tx is higher than the maximum value of the image clarity range, the situation of excessive edge intensity or excessive contrast caused by overexposure cannot be repaired by adjusting the exposure time, that is, the image clarity cannot be compensated and repaired by adjusting the exposure time;

[0088] Obtain the image clarity Tx under the historical exposure time, and draw a scatter plot of exposure time-image clarity Tx in a two-dimensional rectangular coordinate system;

[0089] Taking the minimum and maximum values ​​of the image clarity range as reference values, reference lines corresponding to the reference values ​​are drawn in a two-dimensional rectangular coordinate system;

[0090] Use the polofit function in the numpy library in Python to perform a quadratic polynomial fit on the image clarity and exposure time to obtain a fitting curve;

[0091] Obtaining the intersection point of the fitting curve and the minimum value of the image definition range, and taking the intersection point of the fitting curve and the minimum value of the image definition range as the compensation time point;

[0092] Obtain the exposure time corresponding to the exposure optimization board, and mark the exposure time corresponding to the exposure optimization board as the time point to be compensated;

[0093] Perform difference processing on the time corresponding to the calculation point to be compensated and the compensation time point to obtain the exposure compensation time;

[0094] The exposure time of the exposure optimization board is compensated based on the exposure compensation time, that is, the exposure optimization board is exposed according to the exposure compensation time through the exposure device;

[0095] It should be noted that by performing exposure compensation on the exposure optimization plate, the offset printing plate with a definition lower than the range can be improved, thereby improving the quality of the offset printing plate, reducing the material waste of the offset printing plate, reducing the number of repeated offset printing plates, and realizing green and environmentally friendly printing plate making;

[0096] The technical solution of this embodiment is: if the clarity of the image does not meet the requirements, obtain the historical image clarity and historical exposure time, construct an image clarity sequence and an exposure time sequence, and perform correlation analysis on the image clarity sequence and the exposure time sequence to determine whether the exposure time of the offset printing plate is correlated with the image clarity. If the exposure time of the offset printing plate is correlated with the image clarity Tx, mark the offset printing plate whose image clarity Tx is lower than the minimum value of the image clarity range as an exposure optimized plate, perform fitting analysis on the image clarity and exposure time, and obtain the exposure compensation time. Based on the exposure compensation time, compensate the exposure time of the exposure optimized plate to reduce problems such as blurred edges and abnormal contrast caused by under- or over-exposure, reduce the number of repeated production due to quality problems of the offset printing plate, and thereby achieve green and environmentally friendly printing platemaking.
