A color halftoning is the process of generating halftone images for the different color plans, for example, cyan, magenta, yellow, and black for a offset printing device. A conventional halftone technique, so called AM screening, is simple and easy to implement, but the halftoned dot patterns by using this method is not free for the moire` fringe. Moire` patterns are caused the power spectrum distribution on low spatial frequency domain. To avoid Moire` patterns, the conventional screen require the different screen angles for each color plans. Recently, Ultra-fine and 7 color printing methods are developed to expend the color gamut. In 7 color printing method must be used the halftone technique of random and blue noise characteristic to avoid Moire` fringe.

In this paper, we propose a new smoothing method for removing moire patterns using analysis of halftone patterns interference. The proposed method can determine a strength of moire patterns by using gray values of pixels and the size of smoothing mask for moire region is adjusted adaptively according to the strength of moire patterns. Therefore it can remove moire patterns effectively and preserve meaningful high frequencies well, such as edges and textures. The proposed method only refer to predefined lookup table to determine the strength of moire patterns, so it is more efficient than a previous work based on FFT of subblock. It could be applied to field of various multimedia applications that deal with color prints.

In this paper we propose a new color inverse halftoning for color prints halftoned by clustered-dot. The proposed method divide channel image into blocks and then extract moire region according to its strength. To get more natural continuous tone image in human vision, the proposed method smooths the extracted moire region in proportion to moire strength. It can also preserve the significant edges well by considering edge information of color halftone image in the process of inverse halftoning. Experimental results show that the proposed method can make more improved inverse halftoning. Experimental results show that the proposed method can make more improved inverse halftoning image than the results of previous works. It could be applied to field of multimedia application, such as digital library construction, color print image compression and multimedia authoring.

In this paper, the simulation of the n-p-n-p layer stacked color detector is presented. A color detector based on vertically integrated structures of silicon can overcome color moire or color aliasing effect. The color detector is designed to separate the fundamental chromatic components at each junction and exhibits maxima of the spectral sensitivity at red, green, and blue region, respectively. From this result, it is observed that the spectral response can be controlled by the doping concentration and structure of the devices.

The moire phenomena, which are induced by mask vibration due to the excitation of speakers, degrades the color purity of CRT. So it is important to eliminate this phenomena to obtain a good CRT design. In this study we analyze the mask vibration by experiment as well as finite element method. To obtain the finite element solutions efficiently, an equivalent model was employed. The experimental and analysis results show reasonable agreements. An enhanced design configuration of mask welding points are suggested through this study.

In commercial digital-cameras, color-filter filters light according to wavelength range of color filter array (CFA) and the filtered intensities contain color information of light. Then, output data of CFA is transformed to final rendered image through demosaicing process. In image processing of digital-camera, the quality of the final rendered image is affected by optical cross talk of CFA, kind of CFA pattern etc. Basically, pattern of CFA plays important role in image quality of final image rendered by digital-camera. Therefore, an evaluation system capable of quantitatively evaluating CFA is needed. This paper proposes a novel evaluation system using existing and proposed image metrics for evaluating CFAs of digital-camera. Proposed CFA evaluation system consist of color difference in CIELAB and S-CIELAB, Structure SImilarity (SSIM), MTF50, moire starting point (MSP), and subjective preference (SP). MSP and SP are newly designed for the proposed evaluation system. Proposed evaluation system is expressed in polar coordinates to analyze the characteristics of CFA objectively and intuitively. Through simulations, we confirmed that proposed CFA evaluation system can objectively assess performance of developed CFAs.

Various interpolations for digital imaging devices with a single image sensor have proposed. However, conventional methods did not consider the resolution modus of image sensor using periodic sampling. Therefore, the resulting images have problems such as quality degradation and color artifacts(color moire, zipper). In this paper, we propose a color interpolation algorithm for pixel resolution modus of image sensor. The proposed algorithm consisted of an initial step to compensate edge prediction effectively and refinement step using minimum directions for pixel resolution modus. To analyze a result of the proposed algorithm with conventional methods, we evaluated subjectively using images quality comparison and objectively using PSNR(Peak Signal to Noise Ratio). Experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm was more successful in eliminating the color artifacts than conventional methods judged by both objective and subjective criteria.

본 논문에서는 해프톤 패턴의 간섭현상으로 발생하는 모아레 패턴을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 새로운 모아레 패턴 평활화 방법을 제시한다. 제안한 방법에서는 모아레 패턴이 존재하는 영역에 대해서만 그 세기에 따라 평활화 정도를 적극적으로 조정해 주기 때문에, 모아레 패턴을 효과적으로 제거하면서 경계나 텍스쳐 같은 의미있는 고주파 성분도 잘 보존할 수 있다. 또한 기존의 방법과 달리 퓨리에 변환과 같은 추가 연산을 필요로 하지 않고 미리 만들어진 테이블을 참조하는 과정만으로 모아레 피크의 세기를 결정하기 때문에 연산 시간 측면에 서로 효율적이다. 제안한 방법은 칼라 인쇄물을 다루는 다양한 멀티미디어 분야에서 유용하게 활용될 수 있다.

In this paper, a novel descreening method using HOG(histogram of gradient)-based adaptive smoothing filter is proposed. Conventional edge-oriented smoothing methods does not provide enough smoothing to the halftone image due to the edge-like characteristic of the halftone noise. Moreover, clustered-dot halftoning method, which is commonly used in printing tends to create Moire pattern because of the intereference in color channels. Therefore, the proposed method uses HOG to distinguish edges and the amount of smoothing to be performed on the halftone image is then calculated according to the magnitude of the HOG in the edge and edge normal orientation. The proposed method was tested on various scanned halftone materials, and the results show that it effectively removes halftone noises as well as Moire pattern while preserving image details.
