摘要:
In at least some examples, a system comprises a processor and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory stores an image defect visibility predictor that, when executed by the processor, compares an original image with a defect image and outputs a predicted defect visibility image (PDVI) that accounts for defect masking by the original image.

A method for designing a screen set for color halftoning includes selecting a screen set that includes at least two screens. The screens are applied to a uniform color image so as to form a set of corresponding colorant halftones. The colorant halftones are superposed to form a color halftone. A spatial frequency spectrum of the color halftone is calculated. Maxima of the spatial frequency spectrum that occur at two effective frequencies are identified, the two effective frequencies being located in two adjacent quadrants of a complex spatial frequency space. A magnitude of each effective frequency is compared with a predetermined frequency magnitude. The screen set is accepted for future application for color halftoning only if both effective frequency magnitudes are greater than the predetermined frequency magnitude. Relating computer program product and data processing system are also disclosed.

A method for predicting an appearance of a rendering by a printer of a digital halftone representation of a continuous-tone image includes calculating a predicted absorptance value of a dot of a rendered halftone of the digital halftone representation. The dot corresponds to a pixel of the digital halftone representation. The predicted absorptance value is based on a configuration of pixel values of pixels in an immediate neighborhood of the pixel, and on a weighted contribution of a pixel value of each pixel in an outer neighborhood of the pixel. The method may be incorporated into a halftoning technique. Relating computer program product and data processing system are also disclosed.

摘要:
A method for generating a clustered halftone representation of a continuous-tone image for printing includes applying a search technique. In the search technique, evaluation of a similarity between an initial halftone and the continuous-tone image includes application of an initialization filter to an initial error image that represents a difference between the initial halftone and the continuous-tone image. Evaluation of a similarity between each updated halftone, formed by modifying a previously-evaluated halftone, and the continuous-tone image includes application of an update filter that is different from the initialization filter to an updated error image that represents a difference between the updated halftone and the continuous-tone image. Relating computer program product and data processing system are also disclosed.
