Computer-Generated Hologram (CGH) is made for three dimensional image of a virtual object. Error diffusion method is used for the phase quantization of CGH, and it is known to be effective to the image quality improvement of the reconstructed image. However, the image quality of the reconstructed image from the CGH using error diffusion method depends on the selection of error diffusion coefficient. In this paper, we derived the relational expression to obtain the error diffusion coefficient from the position of the input object and size of the input object for CGH. As a result, the method of this thesis was able to obtain an excellent reconstructed image compared with the case to derive the error diffusion coefficient from only the position of the input image.

In the printer and the facsimile communication, digital halftoning is extremely important technologies. Error diffusion method is applied easy for color image halftoning. But the problem in error diffusion method is that a quite unrelated color has been generated though it is necessary to express the area of the grayscale in the black and white when the image that there is an area of the grayscale on a part of the color image is processed. The halftoning was assumed to be a combinational optimization problem to solve this problem, and the method of using SA (Simulated Annealing) was proposed. However, new problem existed because the processing time was a great amount compared with error diffusion method. Then, we propose the new error diffusion method.

오차 확산 방법은 디지털 하프토닝 방법 중 하나로 현재 처리하는 픽셀의 양자화 오차를 아직 처리하지 않은 주변 이웃 화소에 확산시켜 변환된 흑백 영상의 품질을 높이는 방법이다. 이러한 방법은 발생한 양자화 오차를 주변으로 분산하는 과정에서 부분적으로 오차의 합이 증가하거나 감소하는 경우가 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 오차 확산의 대표적인 방법인 Floyd-Steinberg 방법과 Jarvis-Judice-Ninke의 방법, Stucki의 방법, Shiau-Fan의 방법을 분석하고 이에 대한 해결 방법을 제시한다.

The error diffusion algorithm is good for reproducing continuous images to binary images. However the reproduction of edge characteristics is weak in power spectrum an analysis of display error. In this paper an edge enhanced error diffusion method is proposed to improve the edge characteristic enhancement. Spatial gradient information in original image is adapted for edge enhance in threshold modulation of error diffusion. First the horizontal and vertical second order differential values are obtained from the gradient of peripheral pixels(3x3) in original image. second weighting function is composed by function including absolute value and sign of second order differential values. The proposed method presents a good visual results which edge characteristics is enhanced. The performance of the proposed method is compared with that of the conventional edge enhanced error diffusion by measuring the edge correlation and the local average accordance over a range of viewing distances and the RAPSD of display error.

Among digital halftoning methods, error diffusion is a procedure for generating high quality bilevel images from continuous-tone images but blurs the edge information in the bilevel images. To solve the problem, we propose the edge enhanced error diffusion using the edge information of the original images. The edge enchanted weights is computed by adding local characteristic weights and input pixels multiplied a constant. Also, we combined the edge enhanced method with the adaptive error diffusion using human spatial and frequency perception characteristic. The performance of the proposed method is compared with conventional method by measuring the edge correlation. The halftoned images applied the proposed method get more fine quality due to the enchanced edge and better quality in halftoned image. And the detailed edge is preserved in the halftoned images by the proposed method.

오차확산 방법은 프린터 등에 적용하기 위해 연속계조의 영상을 흑과 백의 이진영상으로 표현하는 디지털 하프토닝의 방법 중 하나로 우수한 영상 재현 능력을 보인다. 그러나 기존의 오차확산 방법은 임계값을 고정적으로 가지면서 오차확산을 하기 때문에 입력 영상에 대해서 충실한 이진화 처리가 어렵고 눈에 거슬리는 주기적인 패턴이 발생하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 입력 영상의 충실한 이진화 처리 및 주기적인 패턴을 감소시키기 위해 적응형 임계값을 적용하여 오차 확산하는 방법을 제안하였다. 적응형 임계값은 입력 농담 영상의 밝기분포를 감안하여 평균치를 산출하는 방법을 사용하였다. 이진화 처리 방법에 대해서 고정임계값을 이용한 오차확산 방법과 제안한 방법을 비교 분석한 결과 제안하는 적응형 임계값을 사용한 오차확산 방법이 더 우수한 디지털 하프토닝 방법임을 실험과 비교를 통해 확인할 수 있었다.

The error diffusion is a good method to reconstruct the continuous tones of an image to the bilevel tones However the reconstruction of edge characteristic by the nor diffusion is represented work when power spectrum is analyzed fer display error. In this paper, we present an edge enhanced error diffusion method to preprocess original image to achieve the enhancement for the edge characteristic. The preprocessing algorithm consist of two processes. First the difference value between the current pixel and the local average of the surrounding pixel in original image is obtained. Second, the weighting function is composed by the magnitude and the sign of the local average. To confirm the effect of the proposed method, it is compared with the conventional edge enhanced error diffusion methods by measuring the radially averaged power spectrum densities (RAPSDs) for their display errors. The comparison result demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over the conventional ones.

The error diffusion is good for reproducing continuous image to binary image. However the reproduction of edge characteristics is weak in power spectrum analysis of display error. It is suggested for us an edge-enhanced error-diffusion method that is included pre-processing algorithm for edge characteristic enhancement. Pre-processing algorithm is organized horizontal and vertical directional 2nd order differential values and weighting function of pre-filter. The improved Error diffusion using pre-filter, presents a good results visually which edge characteristics is enhanced. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with that of the conventional edge-enhanced error diffusion by measuring the RAPSD of display error, the egde correlation and the local average accordance.

This paper proposes the multi-level vector error diffusion for smear artifact reduction in the boundary regions. Smear artifact mainly results from a large accumulation of quantization error. Accordingly, to reduce these artifacts, the proposed method excludes the large quantization error in the error diffusion process by comparing the magnitude of the error vector with predetermined first threshold. In addition, if the vector norm of the difference between the error adjusted input vector and the primary co]or that has minimum vector norm for the error adjusted input vector is larger than second threshold, the error is excluded. As a result, the proposed method reduce smear artifact in the boundary region and produces visually pleasing halftone pattern.

This paper proposes a multilevel vector error diffusion for fast and accurate color reproduction. Proposed method considered both hue angle and Euclidean distance during the multilevel vector error diffusion procedure to improve time complexity and output image quality In the error diffusion process, it can be determined whether error is diffused or not by comparing the vector norm and lightness value between original vector and error corrected vector of neighborhood pixels. For adaptive selection of output patch, this paper computes chroma value of error corrected vector and compares the hue angle between error corrected input vector and 64 primary color vectors.
