چکیده

Screening is a low complexity halftoning algorithm that has been widely used in many applications. However, screen design requires that the stacking property be obeyed. This constraint limits the texture quality at each gray level. We present a look-up-table based halftoning algorithm for which the stacking constraint is not necessarily satisfied; but the binary patterns for individual levels are still correlated. The binary patterns are designed level by level using the direct binary search method. The algorithm improves halftone image quality compared with screening.

Look-up table (LUT) method for inverse halftoning

In this paper we propose look-up table (LUT) based methods for inverse halftoning of images. The LUT for inverse halftoning is obtained from the histogram gathered from a few sample halftone images and corresponding original images. The method is extremely fast (no filtering is required) and the PSNR and visual image quality achieved is comparable to the best methods known for inverse halftonin...

Look up Table (LUT) Method for Image Halftoning

Recently we have applied Look Up Table (LUT) Method for inverse halftoning. We also proposed tree-structure LUT inverse halftoning in order to reduce memory requirements of the LUT method. In this paper we introduce LUT based halftoning method. Pixels from a causal neighborhood and the contone value of the current pixel will be included in the LUT. The LUT halftoning will require no arithmetic ...

Recent 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...
