Zusammenfassung: | The present invention provides a method and apparatus for error diffusing a series of images, each of said images being made up of component pixels. The method comprises, for each of said pixels determining a current error diffused value for said pixel; adding an error margin to each current error diffused value to produce a marginalised error diffused value, said marginalised error diffused value being a translation of said current error diffused value in a direction towards that of a previous output value for said pixel; utilising said marginalised error diffused value to determine a closest possible output value to said marginalised error diffused value; and error diffusing the difference between said closest possible output value and said error diffused value to adjacent pixels. |
