일반적 칼라 출력 장치는 제한된 범위의 색만을 재현 할 수 있다. 특히 프린터와 같이 색의 재현성이 부족한 장비에서는 하드웨어 특성에 따른 채색 면적이나 인쇄에 사용되는 용지의 특성에 따라 염료의 확산 등에 대해서도 고려해야 한다. 특히, 색을 프린트하기 위해서는 출력 과정에서 색의 선형적인 증가와 감소가 이루어져야 하며 또한 정확한 색의 모델링이 가능하여야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이를 위해 프린터 출력시 실제 채색 면적과 시각적 색감을 고려할 수 있는 디더링 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 실제 채색 면적을 고려한 패턴 데이터 베이스를 만들어 이를 디더링 패턴으로 이용하게 된다. 그리고 이 데이터 베이스에서 정확한 패턴을 선택하기 위해서는 인간시각의 색 인지력을 모델링한 대조 민감도 함수를 사용하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 저해상도의 칼라 출력장치에서도 고화질의 색을 재현할 수 있게 해준다.

Various types of ray-tracing methods are used to predict the quantity measures of radiation illumination, the uniformity of illumination, radiation performance of LCD BLU(Hack-Light Unit). The uniformity of radiation illumination is one of the most important design factor of BLU and is usually controlled by the diffusive-ink pattern printed on the bottom of light-guide panel of BLU. Therefore it is desirable to produce an improved (ideally, the optimal) ink pattern to achieve the best uniformity of radiation illumination. In this paper, we applied the Welder-Mead simplex-search method among various direct search method to compute the optimal ink pattern. Direct search methods are widely used to optimize the functions which are often highly nonlinear, unpredictably discontinuous, and nondifferentiable, The ink-pattern controlling the uniformity of radiation illumination is one type of these functions. In this paper, we found that simplex search methods are well suited to computing the optimal diffusive-ink pattern. In extensive numerical testing, we have found the simplex search method to be reasonably efficient and reliable at computing the optimal diffusive-ink pattern. The result also suggests that optimization can improve the functionality of simulation tools which are used to design LCD BLU.

New methods are proposed for printing a full resolution image on a limited output device. The proposed algorithm uses a dot-pattern database that models overlapping phenomena among neighbor printing dots. To solve the problem of dot-overlap, the gray levels of dot-pattern sets were calculated using a circular dot-overlap model and then measured by a spectrometer. Thereafter, in order to improve the visual quality of the color dithering, the contrast sensitivity function of the human visual system was used. As a result, the optimal dot-pattern can be selected from the database. Consequently, the proposed algorithm can produce high quality images while using low-cost color devices.
