- Description
- Purchase of an Integrated Image Quality Analysis System //Description//The Library of Congress intends to purchase through sole source from ImageXpert, 486 Amherst Street, Nashua, NH 03063-1224, an ImageXpert 25" x 25" travel manual XY motion control integrated image quality analysis system for the measurement and characterization of printed images and text. This system will be used for the quality control evaluation of printed documents and labels, and for research on image permanence and image degradation factors. It is the Library's understanding that the identified system is the only one commercially available in the U.S. that is capable of meeting the Library?s critical performance requirement for an integrated image quality analysis system that also meets the following needs: The system must be able to measure and characterize image quality on images and text produced by a variety of methods, including but not limited to: writing and printer's ink, toner, ink-jet, laser, thermal transfer, and direct thermal; the system must employ a non-contact measurement technique via an integrated fire wire 3 CCD 1024 x 768 color camera with full resolution of images of each color plane, a high frequency light source, lens, and power supply; the camera must have variable shutter control to minimize the exposure of the sample to light, and to enable the analysis of darker images; the system must include a NIST traceable calibration target for the camera; the system must include a 25" x 25" travel manual XY motion table with stand; the system must include a library of pre-defined quantitative image analysis algorithms that quantify the following characteristics: line quality, dot quality, uniformity, text quality, inter-color bleed, dot position, satellites, mottle, graininess, ghosting or residual images, banding and streaking, edge raggedness, feathering and wicking, half-tone quality, character integrity, color registration, toner scatter, and dimensional accuracy; the system must be able to be run in a completely interactive mode for single sample analysis, or automated mode for measurement of multiple samples, or the same sample over time; the system must be able to be upgraded to integrate and control the following additional accessories: interactive and automated 2400 dpi true optical resolution transmission/reflection flatbed scanner, full-motion automated X-Y table with Heidenheim encoder, laser triangulation system for height and depth profiling down to 1 ?m, gloss-meter, and spectrodensitometer; the system must include 1-D FFT for periodic banding analysis; the system must include dynamic threshold adjustment to accommodate for changes in lighting or sample brightness; the system must include dynamic location and dynamic image offset to accommodate for changes in sample or image placement to ensure accurate sample placement and measurement repeatability; the system must include time-lapse measurement capabilities to assess samples over time; the system must report data as tab-delimited text files for maximal portability. Any other company that, at the time of application, (1) is either legally incorporated as a U.S. business entity or capable of demonstrating through its business plan its intention to be fully incorporated as a U.S. business, and (2) believes that it can provide all of the parts and accessories listed above and can meet all the above performance requirements can apply to the Library for consideration.
