Digital Halftoning as 2-D Delta-Sigma Modulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
|The error di usion algorithm for digital halftoning is equivalent in form to a noise-shaping feedback coder, a class of delta-sigma modulator. The white noise assumption of the quantizer error is known to be false; in fact, the quantizer error is seen to be highly correlated with the input image. To account for this correlation, we use a gain model for the quantizer. This model accurately predicts the edge sharpening and noise shaping caused by all error di usion schemes. It also permits an extension of error di usion to oversampled imagery.

متن کاملEstimating from outputs of oversampled delta-sigma modulation
Oversampling a delta-sigma-modulated sequence, one can compute unbiased sample estimates of averages of consecutive input elements for a wide variety of inputs. We prove that these estimates are most e cient in their class (that is, variances of sample means are minimum in the class of random binary sequences gn, n = 1; : : : ; N , such that the expected values of gn are equal to the values of ...
متن کاملJoint spatial and temporal delta-sigma modulation for wideband antenna arrays and video halftoning
Extending an existing architecture for delta-sigma conversion of vector inputs, we suggest spectrally shaping quantization noise jointly in temporal and spatial frequency domains with delta-sigma modulation, and we examine the application of the idea to wideband antenna or acoustic arrays and to halftoning of video imagery.
متن کاملPerformance Scrutiny of Two Control Schemes Based on DSM and HB in Active Power Filter
This paper presents a comparative analysis between two current control strategies, constant source power and generalized Fryze current, used in Active Power Filter (APF) applications having three different modulation methods. The Hysteresis Band (HB) and first-order Delta-Sigma Modulation (DSM) as well as the second-order DSM is applied. The power section of the active power filter is viewed as...
متن کاملSpace-time vector delta-sigma modulation
Classical delta-sigma modulation gains resolution through temporal oversampling by using a high-speed, low-resolution quantizer and shaping the resulting quantization errors out of the signal band. Likewise, spatial delta-sigma modulation is often used in image halftoning to create high-visual-quality binary images. We consider combining spatial and temporal delta-sigma modulation to reduce tem...
