Spatial dithering techniques are the method of rendering the illusion of continuous-tone pictures on displays that are capable of producing only binary picture elements. In this paper, we propose a new dithering algorithm which diffuses error into nearby pixels symmetrically. This method complements the artifacts of the error diffusion dither for the graphic images and the short-comings of the ordered dither that can't display some intensity level. We applied this method to graphic images and obtained results that complement the short-comings of conventional method.

Error analysis of finite difference equation on the Muskingum-Cunge flood routing method with free time and space weighting factor was carried out. The error analysis shows that the numerical solution of the Muskingum-Cunge method becomes diverged with time when the sum of time weighting factor and space weighting factor is greater than 1.0. Numerical diffusion increases when the sum of time weighting factor and space weighting factor decreases. Numerical diffusion and numerical oscillation increase when the grid resolution is coarse. Numerical experiments and field applications show that the Muskingum-Cunge method with free space weighting factor is more effective for simulating the flood routing with great peak diminution than conventional Muskingum-Cunge method with fixed space weighting factor, 0.5.

확산문제는 기초방정식을 이산량으로 변환하여 수치적으로 구하는것이 일반적이지만 차분화에 따른 오차및 안정성의 문제가 있다. 그러므로 확산현상에 란덤 (random)성질을 이용하여 미분방정식을 사용하지 않고 확산현상을 추적하는 Monte Carlo 방법이 있다. 이 방법은 흐름의 크기와 시간, 입자수 등을 주어 난수를 발생시키면서 분산입자의 확산을 구하는 것이다.(중략)

Among the digital halftoning, the error diffusion halftoning gives better subjective quality than other halftoning techniques. But it also makes edges of objects blurred. To overcome the defect, this paper proposes the modified error diffusion halftoning algorithm to enhance the edges using the spatial perceptual properties of the human visual system. Using the properties that the human eyes perceive not the pixel's luminance itself but the local average luminance and the information that human eyes perceive spatial variation, the proposed method computes information of edge enhancement(IEE). The IEE is added to the quantizer's input pixel and feeds into the halftoning quantizer. The quantizer produces the halftone image having the enhanced edge. Also this paper proposes the technique that the coefficients of the error diffusion filter are adapted according to the correlation among color components. The computer simulation results show that the proposed method produces finer halftoning images than conventional methods due to the enhanced edges. And the proposed method also preserves similar in edges to original image and reduces some defects such as color impulse and false contours.

The error diffusion technique is frequently utilized for the digital Imaging output devices to convert continuous level Image into bi-level Image It Yields the binary image with the high frequency emphasis that gives a pleasing perception to human eyes But, due to the non-homogeneous distribution of dots, It exhibits undesirable patterns that degenerate the perceived quality Various techniques have been proposed to Improve the Image quality by the error diffusion techniques In this paper, the cause of non-homogeneity of dot distribution is analyzed first. A threshold modulation technique that employs a simple sinusoidal function is proposed in this paper The proposed method achieves the homogeneous dot distribution by forcing the minor pixels on the binary Image to maintain the principal distance defined according to their gray levels. It also minimizes the void and clusters of minor pixels.

In order to generate the gray scale image by the binary state imaging devices such as a digital printer, the gray scale image needs to be converted into the binary image by the halftoning techniques. This paper presents a new error diffusion technique to achieve the homogeneous dot distributions on the binary images. In this paper,'the minimum pixel distance'from the current pixel under binarization to the nearest minor pixel is defined first. Also, the gray levels of the input image are converted into a new variable based on the principal distance for the error diffusion. In the proposed method, the difference in the principal distances is utilized for the error propagation, whereas the gray level difference due to the binarization is diffused to the neighboring pixels in the existing error diffusion techniques. The quantization is accomplished by comparing the updated principal distance with the minimum pixel distance. In order to calculate the minimum pixel distance, MPOA(Minor Pixel Offset Array) is employed to reduce the computational loads and memory resources.

We propose a new type of OFDM-CDMA scheme which allows large inter-user timing offset using zero correlation zone(ZCZ) code in conjunction with block spreading technique. Moreover to maximize spectral efficiency, the proposed OFDMA does not have guard time(GT). This is opposite to the trends in the conventional schemes where GT are supposed to be larger to allow larger inter-user timing offset. It is remarkable that the proposed GT-free OFDM-CDMA scheme completely cancels inter-user interference in the multipath fading simply by despreading process. This inter-user interference-free feature still remains even there exist inter-user timing offsets as large as multiple OFDM symbols. Although the self-user interference exists due to no GT, it can be effectively suppressed by simple successive interference cancellation(SIC) from the first symbol in spread block as it is free from inter symbol interference(ISI).

The paper proposes the improved error diffusion halftoning system to enhance the edges using the spatial perceptual characteristics of the human visual system. The proposed method computes a spatial variation(SV), which is the difference between a pixel luminance and the average of its $3{\times}3$ neighborhood pixels' luminances weighted according to the spatial positioning. Information of edge enhancement(IEE) Is computed using the SV and the local average luminance. The IEE is added to the quantizer's input pixel and feeds into the halftoning quantizer. The quantizer produces the halftone image having the enhanced edge. The performance of the proposed method is compared with conventional methods by measuring the edge correlation. The halftone images by using the proposed method show better quality due to the enhanced edge. And the detailed edge is preserved in the halftone images by using the proposed method.
