Digital pattern of halftone images are with correlated, a minimum of visually perceptible modulation schemes

摘要

A digital halftone image is produced by providing a binary bit image pattern having a minimum visual noise for each density level in the image, and the binary bit patterns being correlated in a manner that reduces visual noise resulting from transitions between patterns. The patterns are addressed by pixel density and x,y location to produce a halftone image. The patterns are generated by employing a stochastic minimization technique with a constraint to insure correlation between patterns.
