摘要: An image recording apparatus (2000) is disclosed, which comprises forming elements (2002) for forming an image, a memory (2006) indicating relative desirability of utilising the forming elements (2002) for forming the image, and processing means (2008) for computing image recording signals using input image signals (2012) and the stored data. The use of a particular forming element is thereby biased dependent upon the relative desirability data of other forming elements, the corresponding input signal for the particular forming element, and a term for the particular forming element.

摘要: A method and apparatus are disclosed which permit a seamless halftoning of an image by halftoning regions of the image independently and/or in parallel. Each region of the image being arbitrarily determined, and being halftoned on the basis of halftoned pixel results of pixels within a predetermined neighborhood of the region. The arrangement providing a greater flexibility in the independent halftoning of the regions, while providing substantially seamless joins between abutting halftoned regions of the image. Further, the arrangement also provides a mechanism for parallel processing (halftoning) of abutting regions of an image with substantially seamless results.

摘要: A method (200, 400) of compressing an input image (201) is described. The method (200, 400) starts by extracting image gradient data representing pixel differences along contours of the image. Next, the method forms an edge based image from the image gradient data and a low resolution image derived from the input image. The method then computes a residual image representing a difference between the edge based image and the input image, and finally compresses the input image by encoding the image gradient data, the low resolution image, and the residual image.

摘要: A method of determining a quality value for an image frame is disclosed. The method comprises dividing (in a step 202) the frame into a plurality of tiles (906) and determining attributes (in a step 206) of each said tile based upon pixel values of the tile, and pixel values of a corresponding tile of a preceding frame. The method then establishes (in steps 210, 212) the quality value of the frame by testing the tile attributes of the frame against pre-determined criteria. The method then defines (in a step 220) the quality value of the frame depending upon results of the testing.

摘要: A method and apparatus are disclosed which permit halftoning of pixels in an image based upon the relative repulsive forces between a current pixel being halftoned and preferably all previous pixels that have been halftoned. Such arrangements give improved halftoned image quality, at least for some images, compared to that obtained from error diffusion or dithering.

摘要: An image processing system in which a computer image is halftoned by halftoning a current pixel using error diffusion, with a halftoned output value of the current pixel being determined using errors derived from substantially all previously halftoned pixels of the image. Output error values are determined for each pixel, and are acted upon by an error diffusion mask of geometrically reducing values. In certain instances, previously halftoned pixels are divided into two or more groups to obtain a desired contribution from previously halftoned pixels.
