Abstract

See full text

A process of producing large dither matrices suitable in use in halftoning images is disclosed. This process includes forming an objective function based on the placement of the dither values within the matrix and optimizing the objective function so as to produce an improved matrix. The preferred optimizations process includes the use of simulated annealing with additional optimizations of the simulated annealing process being disclosed.
