| 4654721 | System for reproducing multi-level digital images on a bi-level printer of fixed dot size A system for producing improved halftone images from continuous tone input images, the pixels of which have been digitized as gray scale values, using a printer having the capability to print a set of output pel patterns producing a respective set of disc... | 03/31/1987 |
| 4638369 | Edge extraction technique An improved edge extraction technique for use in copying a halftone original to produce a halftone copy is described. The prior art uses a two path system to rescreen a halftone, a filter path to remove the original screen and an edge extraction path to e... | 01/20/1987 |
| 4321631 | Control method and device for reproducing a halftone dot cut away along a picture outline In a method for reproducing a halftone picture by scanning, wherein a brightness and a width of a recording light beam to be projected on a photosensitive material is suitably controlled by means of picture signals obtained from the scanning of an origina... | 03/23/1982 |
| 4115816 | Electronic screening A continuous-tone image, which can be in full color, is scanned to produce color-separation images in halftone dots. Edges of features in the scanned image are sensed, and the positions and shapes of the halftone dots that define corresponding edges in th... | 09/19/1978 |
| 4084196 | Electronic half-tone generating means for facsimile reproduction system An electronic half-tone generating circuit for enabling a black and white facsimile transmission system to accurately and efficiently transmit and reproduce images including shades of grey as well as black and white and including an integrator responsive ... | 04/11/1978 |
| 3983319 | Electronic screening for image reproduction A continuous-tone image, which can be in full color, is scanned to produce color-separation images in halftone dots.
