摘要:
The invention provides an image forming device (10), which can generate a multi-valued image based on a binary image. An image forming device (10) includes: an image acquisition part (110) for acquiring a binary image; and a multi-valued image generation part (120) generating a multi-valued image including a specific pixel based on pixel values of pixels within a first image region with a first size including the specific pixel and pixel values of pixels within a second image region with a second size different from the first size including the specific pixel in the binary image.

A method is disclosed. The method includes receiving a first image as a binary periodic Halftone Image (HTI) with a first resolution, scaling the image to render a second image as a continuous-tone HTI with a second resolution, and iteratively processing the scaled image to render a third image as a multibit aperiodic HTI.

An image processing method and an image processing apparatus converts a binary image into a grayscale image by increasing the size and information quantity of the binary image. The image processing method includes generating a plurality of lookup tables having multiple gray level values assigned to a predetermined pattern of the binary image such that the gray level is retrieved from the plurality of lookup tables depending on the context of the block being processed. The binary image may be converted into the grayscale image by applying the gray value of one of the plurality of lookup tables that corresponds to the context, such as the frequency components of the binary image. With this configuration, since the size and information quantity of an image can be reduced for transmission, it is possible to prevent deterioration of image quality when the image is restored, while also printing at a higher speed.

A method includes receiving screen information related to a picture element divided into a number of subunits of the picture element (610), and determining an amount of an ink to apply to a media at a location of the picture element in response to the information (612). The subunits of the picture element have a higher resolution than the resolution of a printing apparatus at which the printing element will be reproduced.

The tags generated in an image scanner help identify different classes of halftones. One is selected from several pixel-value mappings to provide proper compensation. That is, the one-dimensional and multi-dimensional pixel-value mappings within the color management module are selected based on halftone classification tags from the scanner. The tagging is either one bit that indicates "Low Frequency Halftone" and "Not LFHT", or, more preferably, the tag is multi-bit indicating a frequency bin that contains the frequency of the input halftone. Additionally, the multi-bit tag can indicate particular halftone screen types, such as dot screens, line screens, stochastic screens. or error diffusion.

An efficient method and system for eliminating halftone screens from scanned documents while preserving the quality and sharpness of text and line-art is disclosed. The method and system utilizes one or more independent channels with different sensitivities (e.g., Max, High, and Low) to provide high quality frequency and magnitude estimation. The most sensitive channel (Max) derives the frequency estimate, and the remaining channels (e.g., High and Low) are combined to create the screen magnitude. The Max channel is the most sensitive and will usually report the existence of frequencies even when the screen is very weak. Therefore, the screen frequency must be additionally qualified by the screen magnitude. The screen magnitude can be interpreted as the level of confidence that the local neighborhood represents half-toned data.
