Abstract
A method for color misregistration detection. Input image data is buffered and transferred to vector space. An examination window for a current pixel is established and foreground and background pixels within that window are selected. The current pixel is examined to determine if it is in an edge of a scanned object. If the current pixel is in an edge, it is analyzed for color misregistration. The analysis includes an application of Stokes' theorem. If the results of the application of Stokes' theorem indicate that the color misregistration is above a threshold, the pixel is identified as having color misregistration.
