ABSTRACT:
An output writer includes an output scanner and optics that creates printed pixels along curved scan paths. Provided that a source of input image pixel value data presents data with pixels to be positioned in a rectangular coordinate system with a constant distance in an x-direction between adjacent input pixels, a position is determined along the curved scan paths of a pixel to be printed. The difference between the position of the pixel to be printed and the positions in the rectangular coordinate system of associated input pixels is determined, and then a value for the pixel to be printed is determined as a function of (1) the value data of the associated input pixels and of (2) the determined difference between the position of the pixel to be printed and the positions of the associated input pixels. If an input reader includes an input scanner and optics that creates curved scan paths to produce a stream of input pixel values along the curved scan paths for conversion to a stream of output pixel values in a rectangular coordinate system with a constant distance in an x-direction between adjacent output pixels, a position in the rectangular coordinate system of an output pixel is determined, as is the difference between the position of the output pixel and the positions on the curved scan paths of associated input pixels. A value for the output pixel is then determined as a function of (1) the value of the associated input pixels and of (2) the determined difference between the position of the output pixel and the positions of the associated input pixels.
