초록

하프토닝은 단색으로 다양한 계조의 색단계를 표현하는 방법으로 인쇄 매체와 같은 분야에서 제한된 색으로 다양한 톤을 표현할 수 있도록 해주는 매우 중요한 영상처리기법이다. 본 논문에서는 공간채움곡선 (Space-Filling Curve)에 의한 하프토닝 방법의 대안으로 미로 생성 알고리즘에 기반한 새로운 하프토닝 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 공간채움곡선에 의한 오류 확산방법은 규칙적인 스캔 패턴으로 인해 해프토닝의 결과에도 규칙적인 패턴이 발생한다. 이러한 부분을 개선하기 위해 공간채움곡선 대신 미로의 경로를 사용함으로써 규칙적인 패턴을 제거하였다.

Halftoning is very important image processing techniques in the digital printing industry which is a process of converting a continuous-tone image to bi-level tone image. In this paper we introduce a new digital halftoning method based on maze generation algorithm as a replacement algorithm of halftoning with space-filling curve. Previous error-diffusion methods based on space-filling curve suffer from regular pattern artifacts from uniform scan pattern. We use maze generation algorithm to remove this undesirable pattern of space-filling curve method.
