摘要： Provided is a method, system, program, and data structures for halftoning an input image comprised of at least two input color components. Each input color component provides input intensity values for the color component at pixel locations in the image. At least two halftoning screens are accessed. There is one screen for each color component and halftone output generated by at least one of the screens has a lines per inch (LPI) that is at least approximately twenty percent different than the LPI of halftone output generated by one other screen. The input image is separated into the separate color components. The accessed screen for each color component is applied to the input intensity values for the color component to produce output intensity values for the color component. The combined halftone outputs for all the color components form the output pixels.

摘要： A multiple beam printer system having N laser beams receives print job information from a print host. A rendering application uses a threshold array to generate halftone image data from the print job. The threshold array is defined based on a spot function. The defined screen is non-orthogonal and includes Y pels in a direction that is perpendicular to a scanning direction of the laser beams where Y is an integer multiple of N. A distance between screen dots in pels is preferably equal to an integer multiple of N. The screen dot may be defined by a supercell encompassing two screen dots and having an odd number of pels in a direction that is parallel to the scanning direction. The spot function may include a snap feature that snaps a screen dot to the nearest printer grid pel. The spot function may include scaling to compensate for the distortion of the non-orthogonal screen dot.

摘要： A method, computer program product and system for detecting and compensating for color misregistration. A black/white edge or a solid color edge on a target may be scanned. A black/white edge may refer to a black image, e.g., black text, on a white surrounding background having a rapid spatial transition from black to white. A solid color edge may refer to a solid color image, e.g., solid color text, on a white surrounding background having a rapid spatial transition from color to white. A curve of gray values versus spatial pixel positions for each color channel, e.g., red, green and blue color channels, may be generated. A misregistration error may then be calculated by calculating the offset between the color channel curves. The misregistration error may then be used to calibrate the scanner to compensate for the detected color misregistration.

摘要： A digital halftoning technique for controlling a spot function is disclosed. A method for generating a spot for use in halftoning according to the present invention includes defining a spot function that combines two functions selected to provide a predetermined spot shape for use in a halftone cell and scaling the spot function using a scaling function that varies according to a value of a first and second spot function ordinate. Asymmetric modulation of spot functions is used to control the touching of adjacent spots, and to change the shape of the spots with the gray region.

摘要： A data processing system and method are described for generating a halftone screened image from an input image. A first threshold matrix is generated which, when utilized to halftone a solid gray input image, generates a first halftoned output image which is a plurality of generally solid vertical lines. The first threshold matrix includes a plurality of matrix elements arranged in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns. A plurality of groups of the matrix elements are shifted within the first threshold matrix to create a second threshold matrix which, when utilized to halftone the solid gray input image, generates a second halftoned output image which is a checkerboard type pattern of alternating black or white blocks. In one embodiment, groups of the plurality of the rows are shifted horizontally over by at least one adjacent column to generate the second matrix.

摘要： A method and apparatus for matching the print outputs of two printers having different characteristics. For the purpose of laser printing, or more generally for reproduction on any printing device with limited number of printing levels, a color or grayscale image has to be transformed into an array of printing decisions at each pixel of the output image. Sometimes this array is the only available representation of the original image. One may desire to print this array on a printer with different characteristics from the printer for which the array was originally prepared. The method and apparatus solve this problem by generating a printing decision matrix which takes into account the differences between the two printers.

摘要： A method and an apparatus to descreen a halftoned picture takes into account the actual distribution of black or colors on the print without the need for scanning printed images but, rather, using only the printing decision matrix and the printer characteristics. For the purpose of laser printing, or more generally for reproduction on any printing device with a limited number of printing levels, a color or grayscale image has to be transformed into an array of printing decisions at each pixel of the output image. Sometimes this array is the only available representation of the original image. One may desire to reconstitute a good approximation of the original grayscale image from this array, for instance to print the picture on a printer with different characteristics from the printer for which the array was originally prepared, or to display it on a high resolution monitor. The method and apparatus to solve this problem in a way which take precise account of printer characteristics is described.

摘要： A method and apparatus for halftoning utilizes a truly aperiodic mask with memory requirements much smaller than the mask itself. The mask is constructed of several smaller compatible masks and a selector which selects between the smaller masks. In this way the computation of a large aperiodic mask is replaced by the computation of several much smaller masks. Using this technique, watermarks may be embedded for encrypting information in such a way that the quality of the image is not compromised.

摘要： A technique combines most of the advantages of both blue noise and clustering in generating a clustered aperiodic mask and using it in a dither array algorithm for halftoning. The method of halftoning of grey scale images utilizes a pixel-by-pixel comparison of the image against a clustered aperiodic mask in which the clustered aperiodic mask is comprised of a partly random and partly deterministic single valued function which is designed to produce visually pleasing dot configurations when thresholded at any level of grey.
