Abstract :
The iteratively clustered interpolation (ICI) algorithm has proven to be accurate and efficient at computing the inverse printer map from the forward map. The details and results of the first hardware implementation of this novel algorithm are presented here. The ICI algorithm was implemented in VHDL and synthesized to a generic library using the Synopsys design compiler. The synthesis results provided the approximate size and speed of an ASIC that could perform the inverse computation.
