Abstract
The present disclosure discloses methods and systems (a multi-function device or a digital printer) having capabilities for an object enhancement. In an example, the MFD includes a digital front end module to detect edge of the object and direction of the edge. Following the detection of the edge, the digital front end module classify the pixels of the edge into two categories, for example, which define that whether the edge pixels are created by black-to-white transition or white-to-black transition. Based on the classification of the edge pixels, the digital front end module performs the object enhancement either in black-to-white transition or in white-to-black transition.
