Abstract

Halftone is the key technique for low-resolution equipment like fax machines and printers to reconstruct grayscale images with black and white binary data. Images produced by classic error diffusion algorithm have more abundant color than those made by ordered dithering method. But the problems still exits that there can distortions and false contour phenomenon and fuzzy edges. This paper puts forward an advanced error diffusion algorithm based on bidirectional feedback and improves its feedback type through adding correction factors. The simulation results show that the bidirectional feedback error diffusion algorithm with correction factors better inhibited the phenomenon of distortions and false contour. Directional texture is also improved greatly.
