Mathematical Modeling 

A “Fortune-2” company wanted to create a cost-saving service for its clients in the printing industry. We used mathematical modeling to meet their requirements.

The service was to determine what fraction of a print job, such as an advertisement or product label for a mass-market consumer item, had subtle shadings of color. It would then decide whether to route the job automatically to an expensive printer that would be needed for the shading, or to a less expensive one that would be adequate for anything else.  

We defined and implemented the algorithms in MATLAB^® application software, using fuzzy logic to model the eye’s perception and the brain’s judgment of well printed shading. The result over-performed the company’s expectations, even identifying important subtleties of shading that they had believed no algorithm could detect.
