摘要
An enhanced error diffusion for color and/or black-and-white halftone reproduction of gray scale, color and/or black-and-white images, features enhancements in obtaining the thresholds that are used in error diffusion halftoning as well as enhancements in how to distribute error. Thresholds according to the invention are derived by applying a standard error-diffusion technique, using a fixed threshold value of .5, to a constant gray level image patch which has a gray level value corresponding to an irrational number. Thresholds so-derived are well dispersed in a threshold mask and have only a limited number of threshold values; use of such thresholds in error diffusion has been found to reduce significantly the presence of structural artifacts in halftone images. As for how to distribute error, the invention provides a different error distribution matrix for each gray level value (for example, 256 different error distribution matrices) and selects one such matrix for error distribution based on the gray level value of the target pixel in the original image. Particularly in a case where the error distribution matrix is in the form: MATH for highlight/shadow regions, distributing error according to the invention has been found to reduce significantly the presence of worm-like chains in such highlight and shadow regions.
