Patent number: 8539391Abstract: Aspects of the invention relate to techniques for determining edge fragment correlation information. With various implementations of the invention, image intensity slope information for edge fragments in a layout design is determined. The image intensity slope information comprises information describing how image intensity for each of the edge fragments changes with its position. Image amplitude sensitivity information for the edge fragments is also determined. The image amplitude sensitivity information comprises information describing how image amplitude for each of the edge fragments changes with positions of neighboring edge fragments.
