Abstract
A method for varying a thickness of a trap around an object in an image. The method may include selecting a first window along a border of the object. The first window includes one or more first pixels representing the object and one or more second pixels representing a background or another object. A first edge orientation direction is determined based at least partially upon a location of the one or more first pixels in the first window. A first thickness of the object is measured along the first edge orientation direction. A trap is created around the object. A first thickness of the trap proximate to the first window is varied based at least partially upon the first thickness of the object.
