    摘要: A printing system is disclosed where a multi level pixel image (200) is converted into a half tone image (300) utilising a set of bit mask arrays (350-0 to 350-255) stored within a memory (310). The value of a multi level pixel is used to select one of the stored bit mask arrays. The co-ordinates of the multi level pixel in an image are then used to identify an entry from within the selected bit mask array. The identified entry is then used to set the value of the corresponding pixel in the half tone image. In order to reduce the appearance of contouring at the boundaries of adjacent portions of an image having similar grey levels, the stored bit mask arrays (350-0 to 350-255) are such that the majority of entries in the bit mask arrays for successive grey levels are identical. In addition to reducing contouring problems, the similarity of significant portions of bit mask arrays for successive grey levels make the bit mask arrays suitable for compression.

    摘要: A data compression method using a template, in which a template optimizing means using an artificial intelligent technique (such as a genetic algorithm) applied to segments defined by diving input data into uniform segment units contributes to enhancing the prediction accuracy, data is compressed using the results of optimization, and a database is updated to improve the compression efficiency and speed of the subsequent processings. By updating a database by using an optimized template, a template for improving the prediction accuracy is obtained quickly without applying any artificial intelligent technique.

    摘要: A method for compressing screened image data for printing. The data is generated by tiling an image with multi-pixel cells. The pixels within any one cell may or may not be rescanned to be better fit for compression. The method allows for selection between two compression paths, one which has no loss (24), the other which is lossy (26). Once the data is compressed, the information is stored in a buffer (16), then sent to the exposure module. If the lossy scheme is selected, a quantization factor (14) is used in compression that may be adjusted, depending upon feedback signals (18,20), to increase or decrease the compression.

    摘要: A method for compression and decompression of dithered images is disclosed. Logical units (tiles) of the binary representation are classified (205) into equivalence classes which are then compressed (206). Each equivalence class represents tiles having similar gray levels (i.e. the same number of black pixels), but which may have different sequences of black and white pixels. Each equivalence class has associated with it a predefined set of rendering exemplars. Each of the exemplars has a similar gray level. Upon decompression, each instance of an equivalence class takes on the value of one of the rendering exemplars which is selected pseudo-randomly. This effectively causes the image to be re-dithered so there is no loss of critical image information on decompression.
