  • Reproducing Color Images with Custom Inks
    c Copyright 1998 Eric J. Stollnitz Reproducing Color Images with Custom Inks by Eric J. Stollnitz A doctoral dissertation Department of Applied Mathematics University of Washington 1998 Abstract Reproducing Color Images with Custom Inks by Eric J. Stollnitz University of Washington Advisor Associate Professor David H. Salesin Computer Science and Engineering Chairperson of Supervisory Committee Professor Loyce M. Adams Applied Mathematics This dissertation investigates the general problem of reproducing color images on an off- set printing press using custom inks in any combination and number. Many mathematical and algorithmic challenges arise when printing with inks other than the standard process colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black), particularly as the number of inks increases. These challenges include the development of gamut mapping strategies, ef®cient ink selec- tion strategies, and robust methods for computing color separations in situations that may be either overconstrained or underconstrained. In addition, the demands of high-quality color printing require an accurate physical model of the colors that result from overprinting multi- ple inks using halftoning, including the effects of trapping, dot gain, and the interre¯ection of light between ink layers. As we explore these issues, we present new algorithms and physical models that together comprise a system capable of choosing optimal inks for an image and generating the appropriate color separations. Finally, we present some printed examples demonstrating the promise of our techniques.

  • OSINT Handbook September 2020
    OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE TOOLS AND RESOURCES HANDBOOK 2020 OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE TOOLS AND RESOURCES HANDBOOK 2020 Aleksandra Bielska Noa Rebecca Kurz, Yves Baumgartner, Vytenis Benetis 2 Foreword I am delighted to share with you the 2020 edition of the OSINT Tools and Resources Handbook. Once again, the Handbook has been revised and updated to reflect the evolution of this discipline, and the many strategic, operational and technical challenges OSINT practitioners have to grapple with. Given the speed of change on the web, some might question the wisdom of pulling together such a resource. What’s wrong with the Top 10 tools, or the Top 100? There are only so many resources one can bookmark after all. Such arguments are not without merit. My fear, however, is that they are also shortsighted. I offer four reasons why. To begin, a shortlist betrays the widening spectrum of OSINT practice. Whereas OSINT was once the preserve of analysts working in national security, it now embraces a growing class of professionals in fields as diverse as journalism, cybersecurity, investment research, crisis management and human rights. A limited toolkit can never satisfy all of these constituencies. Second, a good OSINT practitioner is someone who is comfortable working with different tools, sources and collection strategies. The temptation toward narrow specialisation in OSINT is one that has to be resisted. Why? Because no research task is ever as tidy as the customer’s requirements are likely to suggest. Third, is the inevitable realisation that good tool awareness is equivalent to good source awareness. Indeed, the right tool can determine whether you harvest the right information.
