Abstract

DOI or Distinctness of Image is now recognized as an important appearance attribute, particularly for photographic images. In NIP21, we introduced our first-generation portable instrument for DOI measurement, the DIAS. Since its introduction, the DIAS has been used primarily by printer and media manufacturers for quantitative analysis of print and media quality. In this paper, we describe the second generation device, the DIAS-II, with a broader measurement range capability. The DIAS-II is even more compact, more reliable, easier to use, and costs less than the first generation device. We discuss the new hardware design, improvements in the analysis method, techniques for enhancing the manufacturability and the performance of the system, and applications beyond print media characterization.
