) based sensing application. A belt edge sensor can be used to track the position of the belt with respect to a sensor. By tracking the position of the belt, it is possible to map the belt surface and utilize the map as part of a flat field algorithm to calibrate the FWA sensor signal. Many printing applications require the optical measurement of a toner mass on the belt surface, where the belt surface is not uniform.
A process sensor can be utilized to measure uniformity of the toner on the non-uniform belt substrate. The non-uniformities on the belt surface convolute with the measurement of the toner uniformity and thus the signal-to-noise ratio is reduced. The bare belt surface can be recorded and mapped ahead of time and this information can be used later to compensate the raw data, thereby increasing the signal-to-noise ratio. Such processing, however, requires a fairly precise registration between the measurement signal and the original bare-belt signal.
Once-around and belt-hole signals are commonly utilized to provide reference to a moving substrate such as a photoreceptor or a drum. The once-around signal can be used as a start trigger for data logging or capturing. In a xerographic application, the process patches and targets are often developed in an inter-document zone (IDZ) where the process sensor-sampling period is typically restricted to the IDZ. Thus, depending on the length of the intermediate transfer belt (ITB) and engine speed, there may be multiple inter-document zones for one complete belt revolution.
Typically, the intermediate transfer belts are seamless and the inter-document zone areas do not fall on the same region of the belt; rather, they propagate around the belt during a printing process. Hence, it is necessary to precisely register the data captured by a process sensor during the IDZ with an appropriate region of the bare-belt signal. Prior art printing applications typically utilize additional encoders or position sensors to track the belt movement and to register bare intermediate transfer belt signals to the signal measured for location of interest on the belt.
Based on the foregoing it is believed that a need exists for an improved method and system to register the bare intermediate transfer belt signal to the signal sensed in the region of interest (e.g. inter-document zone) without adding additional hardware. Cloud computing relates to concepts that utilize large numbers of computers connected through a computer network, such as the Internet. Cloud based computing refers to network-based services. These services appear to be provided by server hardware.
) based sensing application. A belt boundary detector can be practice to track the position of the swath with respect to a sensor. By traverse the situation of the belt, it is potential to map the knock surface and use the map as part of a flat field algorithm to calibrate the FWA detector signal. Many printing applications command the optical measurement of a toner mass on the knock surface, where the belt surface is not undifferentiated. 
 A process sensor can be utilized to measure uniformity of the toner on the non - consistent belt substrate. The non - uniformities on the belt surface convolute with the measurement of the toner uniformity and thus the signal - to - randomness ratio is reduced. The bare belt surface can be recorded and map ahead of prison term and this information can be used later to compensate the raw data, thereby increasing the signal - to - noise proportion. Such processing, however, necessitate a fairly accurate adjustment between the measurement signal and the original bare - belt signal. 
 Once - around and belt - hole signal are commonly utilized to provide reference to a move substrate such as a photoreceptor or a drum. The once - around signal can be used as a start trigger for data logging or capturing. In a xerographic lotion, the process patches and targets are often developed in an inter - document zone (IDZ) where the process sensor - sample time period is typically restricted to the IDZ. Thus, depending on the length of the average transfer belt (ITB) and engine speed, there may be multiple inter - document zones for one complete belt revolution. 
 Typically, the intermediate transportation belts are seamless and the inter - document zone areas do not fall on the same region of the knock; rather, they spread around the belt during a impression process. Hence, it is necessary to precisely read the data captured by a summons sensor during the IDZ with an appropriate area of the bare - belt signal. Prior art impression applications typically utilize additional encoders or position detector to track the belt movement and to register plain intermediate transfer swath signals to the signal measured for location of interest on the belt. 
 Based on the foregoing it is believed that a need exists for an improved method and arrangement to read the unsheathed intermediate transfer belt signal to the signal sensed in the region of interest (for example inter - document zone) without adding additional hardware. Cloud computing relates to concepts that utilize large numbers of computers connected through a calculator network, such as the Internet. Cloud based computing refers to network - based services.
