Laser print apparatus that generates pulse width value and justification value based on pixels in a multi-bit image

TLDR
In this article, a modulation code generator analyzes three adjacent pixels, including a left pixel, a center pixel, and a right pixel, to generate a pulse width value based on the value of the center pixel.
Abstract
A laser print apparatus includes a memory for storing a multi-bit image including a plurality of pixels. Each pixel is represented by an N-bit value, wherein N is greater than one. A modulation code generator analyzes three adjacent pixels. The three adjacent pixels include a left pixel, a center pixel, and a right pixel. The modulation code generator is configured to generate a pulse width value based on the value of the center pixel, and a justification value based on the values of the left pixel and the right pixel. A laser print engine forms an output pixel on media based on the pulse width value and the justification value.

Digital halftone rendering of a gray scale image with frequency-dependent diagonal correlation

TL;DR: In this paper, a method of halftoning a digital gray scale image is disclosed that utilizes a point-by-point thresholding comparison to a novel diagonal correlation dither matrix, which forces diagonal correlation of adjacent dots in the output image while maximizing dispersion of dots, thereby producing visually unobtrusive output dot patterns.
