Patent number: 7652700Abstract: To achieve more appropriate interpolation of a missing pixel, an image is input to a processing section for interpolation. The interpolation is applied utilizing image data of pixels located around the pixel to be interpolated. Specifically, correlations between the image data of the pixels to be interpolated, and pixel data in a horizontal direction, vertical direction, and diagonal direction, are compared to one another; pixel data having stronger correlation is used for the interpolation. Correlation between the image data of the pixels to be interpolated and which direction is strong is determined, so that different weighting for interpolation is used accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2005Date of Patent: January 26, 2010Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: Yoshihisa Takahashi, Hisakazu Kikuchi, Shogo Muramatsu, Yoshito Abe, Naoki Mizutani

Patent number: 7330291Abstract: In a computer generation of a dither mask for conversion of a continuous-tone image into a halftone image, a pixel array having a size in accordance with the dither mask is partitioned into blocks. Initial pixel values are determined such that the occurrences of pixel values will be substantially uniform in the blocks. A pair of exchange target pixels are selected at random from the pixels in one of the blocks and function values of a predetermined evaluation function that indicates a characteristic of the pixel value configuration of the pixels in this block are computed for the two cases where pixel values are exchanged among the exchange target pixels and where not exchanged. These function values are compared to judge whether exchange should be performed.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2002Date of Patent: February 12, 2008Assignee: Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd.Inventor: Yoshito Abe
