A Row-Oriented Error Diffusion Technique for Digital Halftoning
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a digital halftoning method is proposed to diffuse error with a more symmetric error distribution by making use of the concept of multiscale error diffusion. It can improve the diffusion performance by effectively reducing directional hysteresis. The diffusion is row-oriented rather than frameoriented and hence can reduce a lot of computation effort as compared with conventional multiscale error diffusion schemes. This makes it possible for real-time applications.

متن کاملA Fast Green Noise Digital Halftoning Algorithm with Section-oriented Multiscale Error Diffusion
Printing systems with poor and unstable dot gain make blue noise halftoning inappropriate to be used to generate halftone outputs for them, and green noise halftoning is preferred in such a case. Recently, a green noise halftoning with multiscale error diffusion (FMEDg) is proposed for this scenario. Extensive analysis and simulation results show that it can provide better halftoning performanc...
متن کاملPointillist Halftoning
We explore an extension of current halftoning algorithms that aims to reproduce pointillism, a style of postimpressionist painting. Halftoning algorithms solve the problem of reproducing an image with many colors on a device with very few colors (usually only two, black and white). Pointillist painters also created images using a very limited number of paint colors. Both halftoning and pointill...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Digital Halftoning and Inverse Halftoning Methods
Halftoning is the rendition of continuous-tone pictures on displays, paper or other media that are capable of producing only two levels. In digital halftoning, we perform the gray scale to bilevel conversion digitally using software or hardware. In the last 3 decades, several algorithms have evolved for halftoning. Examples of algorithms include ordered dither, error diffusion, blue noise masks...
متن کاملA multiscale error diffusion technique for digital halftoning
A new digital halftoning technique based on multiscale error diffusion is examined. We use an image quadtree to represent the difference image between the input gray-level image and the output halftone image. In iterative algorithm is developed that searches the brightest region of a given image via "maximum intensity guidance" for assigning dots and diffuses the quantization error noncausally ...
