Halftoning via Direct Binary Search using a Hard Circular Dot Overlap Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
The direct binary search algorithm is a powerful heuristic for generating high quality halftone images that account for the characteristics of both the output device and viewer. With a hard circular dot overlap model, it yields enhanced detail rendition, suppression of aliasing artifacts, and improved tonal gradation in shadow areas.

Halftoning via Error Diffusion using Circular Dot-overlap Model
Circular dot-overlap model is one of the simplest printer models, which is used to predict the actual gray levels of printed images. Model-based halftoning can produce print outputs which can render the gray levels of original input image more correctly and keep more detail in the outputs. Cluster-dot halftoning is a classical method used to minimize dot gain. In this paper, the model-based hal...
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 کاملPrinter models and the direct binary search algorithm
We incorporate a higher order measurement-based model for printer dot interactions within the iterative direct binary search (DBS) halftoning algorithm. We also present an efficient strategy for evaluating the change in computational cost as the search progresses. Experimental results are shown which demonstrate the efficacy of the approach.
متن کاملA Unified Framework for Digital Halftoning and Dither Mask Construction: Variations on a Theme and Implementation Issues
We present a unified algorithmic framework for some classes of digital halftoning algorithms including Direct Binary Search (DBS) and dither mask generation algorithms such as Void and Cluster, BIPPSMA, and clustered dot with blue noise interpolation. Although these algorithms are different and used in different ways, e.g. Direct Binary Search is a global halftoning process, whereas dither mask...
متن کاملDirect Binary Search Based Algorithms for Image Hiding
Digital halftoning is an important process to convert a continuous-tone image into a binary image with pure black and white pixels. The Direct Binary Search (DBS) is one of the well-known halftoning methods that can generate high quality binary images. The main contribution of this paper is to present a DBS based halftoning method that conceals a binary image into two binary images. More specif...
