Abstract: A reproduction method for continuous tone images on an output device having multilevel capabilities is described. The microdots addressable by the output device are arranged into identical tiles. The microdots in a tile get a sequence number, according to a randomised Bayer pattern for which the runlengths of microdots having low sequence numbers are reduced. The sequence is divided into five subsequences. The microdots belonging to the first three subsequences are changed exclusively to higher density levels for decreasing intensity levels, each within a specific intensity range of the input image. The microdots belonging to the last two subsequences are used to more continuously reproduce the image levels. Equivalent microdots within a tile are further differentiated by a second sequence numbering, in order to ensure smooth and precise average density transitions in reproduced continuous tones.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method are disclosed for digitizing a color negative picture and correcting the image signals in a way that they are linearly related to the luminance of the photographed scene for grey tones in the scene. A second embodiment allows obtaining on the basis of the color-corrected image signals a reproduction of true color of the scene on a color display unit. For determining the correction, use is made of the characteristic system curve indicating for each of the color components the relation between the luminance of a neutral color swatch in the scene and the density sensed by the scan system. Several methods for drafting said system curve are described. Furthermore, the way of obtaining the color-corrected image signals by means of a color transformation and the way of determining the transformation are explained.

Preferred arrangements for the orientation, spacing and absolute location of the base lines and auxiliary lines are disclosed and a method to generate preferred arrangements. A moire free combination of three halftone images is described for the reproduction of color images. A method to select a restricted set of energy levels to obtain linear reflectance response is disclosed. Halftone cells are arranged in supercells to improve the density resolution of the system.
