Abstract: Disclosed is a method for controlling the shapes of FM-AM mixed halftone dots on the multi-bit depth imaging apparatus. In the prior art, since the reproduction of the shapes of the dots in various gradations is absolutely based on the theory of random error diffusion and is influenced by the dynamic controlling output mechanism for the multi-bit dots, it is hard to assure the controllability of the shapes of the dots in a certain gradation. Based on the prior art, the dynamic statistic algorithm with adjacent output gray levels is introduced to assure the controllability of the shapes of the dots and solve the problem of random change of the shapes of the dots due to the randomicity of the error diffusion. According to the disclosed method, the features of the multi-bit imaging apparatus can be achieved fully in light of the requirements of the dots on the basis of the original method for multi-bit FM-AM mixed screening using error diffusion based on dual-feedback.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for processing FM-AM mixed halftone images on a multi-bit depth imaging apparatus, which relates to a method for producing halftone dots in the field of image hard copying. In the prior art, since it is hard to avoid the impact of the error diffusion for the output apparatus to control the mixed dots with multi-bit imaging depth based on the error diffusion, the output of the mixed dots with multi-bit imaging depth cannot satisfy requirements of the apparatus. According to the method of the present invention, the dynamic algorithm for controlling the multi-bit mixed dots is used for screening based on the existing mixed screening process using dual-feedback error diffusion. Furthermore, multi-bit halftone images with high quality and rich gradations can be output by the multi-bit depth imaging apparatus.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing halftone dots in the field of image hard copying, more particularly to a method for frequency-modulation screening using error diffusion based on dual-feedback. In the known frequency-modulation and amplitude-modulation screening technology, it is hard to output a halftone image with high quality using an output equipment with a low resolution (600 dpi) and the satisfactory effect of representing the gradations of the original image in detail and holding the smoothness of the original image can not be achieved. By using the dual-feedback technology based on a basic algorithm of the error distribution, the method in the present invention realizes the organic combination of the conventional frequency-modulation and amplitude-modulation screens and achieves the effect of mixed screening.
