Paper Abstract
Most halftoning algorithms assume there is no interaction between neighboring dots or if there is, it is additive.
Without accounting for dot-gain effect, the printed image will not have the appearance predicted by the halftoning
algorithm. Thus, there is need to embed a printer model in the halftoning algorithm which can predict such
deviations and develop a halftone accordingly.
The direct binary search (DBS) algorithm employs a search heuristic to minimize the mean squared perceptually
filtered error between the halftone and continuous-tone original images. We incorporate a measurementbased
stochastic model for dot interactions of an electro-photographic printer within the iterative DBS binary
halftoning algorithm. The stochastic model developed is based on microscopic absorptance and variance measurements.
We present an efficient strategy to estimate the impact of 5×5 neighborhood pixels on the central
pixel absorptance. By including the impact of 5×5 neighborhood pixels, the average relative error between the
predicted tone and tone observed is reduced from around 21% to 4%. Also, the experimental results show that
electrophotography-model based halftoning reduces the mottle and banding artifacts.
