    摘要: What is provided are a novel system, method, and computer program product for hierarchical (telescopic) color error diffusion which effectively controls the dot distribution for both primary and secondary dot formation which covers the class of error diffusion that follow telescopic dot firing constraint principles. In one example embodiment, an input CMYK ink coverage is received. The input CMYK ink coverage is transformed into a CMYKRGB domain using a CMYK to CMYKRGB conversion. A weighted error value can be added to each color component of the CMYKRGB domain. The color components of the CMYKRGB domain are hierarchically grouped into a plurality of subgroups based on relative dot visibility. More visible subgroups are half-toned earlier to achieve maximum uniform dot distribution. Dots of specific color channels within subgroups are fired based on thresholding and a set of decision rules provided herein.

    摘要: What is disclosed is a system and method for diffusing pixel error in a halftoning process in a color management system. The present method divides a modified CMYK input into a real and imaginary portions. The real portion is the coverage achieved by a physically realizable positive dot. The imaginary portion comprises a an imaginary negative dot and an imaginary excess dot. Each of these dots are processed separately, on a per-pixel basis, in a novel CMYK to CMYKKpRGB conversion discussed in detail herein. Hierarchical thresholding is preformed on the conversion output to produce a high-quality halftone result. A cumulative pixel error sum is derived therefrom and combined with the input CMYK coverages of a next pixel. All pixels are processed. The halftone output generated hereby has the pixel error compensated. Other embodiments are provided.

    摘要: A combined dot density and size modulation system uses dispersed dot halftoning in conjunction with dot size modulation to produce a halftone image in which both the density and size of the dots are modulated to control overall gray level. The dot density and size modulation system offers advantages over pure dot density modulation systems or pure dot size modulation systems because it allows an extra degree of flexibility which can be used to increase the visual quality of the halftoned pattern and/or increase the robustness of the halftoning to printer artifacts and variations. An input pixel value is used to independently produce a dot density value and a dot size value. The dot density value and dot size values may be obtained from, e.g., look up tables that have been optimized for print quality and printer stability. Dispersed dot halftoning is used to provide a halftone value for the desired pixel location using the dot density value. The dispersed dot halftoning may be, e.g., tone dependent error diffusion. The halftone value and the dot size value for the pixel location is then used to generate a modulated code, e.g., a pulse width modulated code, to the printer. The modulated code may include both the pulse width of the desired dot for the pixel location as well as the justification, e.g. left, center, or right, for the pixel location. The dot density and size modulation system is particularly useful in modern electrophotographic printing systems that allow the printed dot size to be almost continuously varied through the specification of a pulse width modulation (PWM) code.
