摘要： An improved error diffusion method for producing an output image from an input image having a set of digitized continuous-tone pixels is disclosed. The method includes computing a visually perceived input value for a digitized continuous-tone input pixel and computing a visually perceived output value for each of the possible output levels. The method further includes selecting the output level in response to the visually perceived input values and the visually perceived output value for each of the possible output levels according to an error criterion; determining an error signal between the visually perceived input value and the visually perceived output value for the selected output level; and weighting the error signal and adjusting the computed visually perceived input values for nearby pixels which have not been processed.

摘要： This invention minimizes the visibility of quantization artifacts associated with multi-dimensional color-calibration look-up tables of a limited size. Such artifacts occur when it is not practical to use interpolation methods to approximate color values which are intermediate to the color values stored in the look-up table. In such cases the input color signals are simply quantized for the purpose of addressing the look-up table. This invention works by applying local mean preserving spatial modulation to the input color image values prior to the quantization step. As with multi-level halftoning techniques, the result is that the appearance of intermediate color values is created because the observer will spatially average the output color values.

摘要： In the present invention each input pixel value is compared against a randomly selected threshold value to provide an output pixel having a value indicative of which of the values is greater. The threshold value is selected from one of a plurality of threshold matrices, each having a predetermined number of threshold values that are arranged in a pattern with the values for a base matrix being increased by an increment for each succeeding one of the plurality of threshold matrices. The selection of the one threshold matrix is made by means of a pseudo-random number generator.
