Figures & Tables

Figure 1

Differences in the spatial distribution of satellite droplets from four inkjet printers of different type and model.

Figure 2

From left to right: (1) Satellite droplets and border of a printed character, (2) manually marked satellites, (3) complete graph connecting every point with each other, (4) Delaunay triangulation.

Figure 3

Screenshot of the software implemented and used in the experiments: The big area on the top-left shows a picture of the region of interest of the printed document together with marked satellites (red circles) and a Delaunay triangulation restricted by two orthogonal thresholds (white lines). On the bottom-left each tab contains a distribution histogram for a statistical property of the graph (histogram of the edge lengths on this screenshot). The table on the bottom-right contains the median, average and standard deviation of the corresponding histogram.

Table 1

Topological attributes and global label attributes of the graph used to build a feature vector.

NameDescription
Edge lengthAverage (Avg.) and standard deviation (std. dev.) of the length of all edges.
DegreeSee13
Clustering coefficientSee13
Effective eccentricitySee13 – Shortest paths are calculated using15.
Average PathlengthFor each node the average of the shortest paths to each other node is calculated. The distribution of these averages yields Avg. and std. dev.
Vertical main frequencyThe most prominent value of all vertical distances for a profile which should be related to nozzle distance and thus to vertical resolution.
Graph diameterSee13
Areal densityNumber of nodes per area.
Isolated PointsSee13
End PointsSee13
