Abstract

Digital halftoning is the process of converting a continuous-tone image into an arrangement of black and white dots for binary display devices such as digital ink-jet and electrophotographic printers. As printers are achieving print resolutions exceeding 1,200 dots per inch, it is becoming increasingly important for halftoning algorithms to consider the variations and interactions in the size and shape of printed dots between neighboring pixels. In the case of lenticular screening where statistically independent images are spatially multiplexed together, ignoring these variations and interactions, such as dot overlap, will result in poor lenticular image quality. To this end, we describe our use of model-based error-diffusion for the lenticular screening problem where statistical independence between component images is achieved by restricting the diffusion of error to only those pixels of the same component image where, in order to avoid instabilities, the proposed approach involves a novel error-clipping procedure.
