system for reproducing a color image from a composite black and white picture and method for production of a composite black and white image on a medium

摘要

This invention relates to a system for, and method of, reproducing a color image from a composite black-and-white image. The composite black-and-white image is formed either on an exposure or is formed from a live image. In either case, modulations are provided in a first particular line pattern to obtain a representation of a first particular color. Modulations are also provided in a second particular line pattern different from the first particular line pattern to obtain a representation of a second particular color. The third color may be unmodulated. The three colors add optically to form the image luminance.
