Digital color halftoning with generalized error diffusion and multichannel green-noise masks

DL Lau, GR Arce, NC Gallagher - IEEE Transactions on Image …, 2000 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
… Yao and Parker [10] have even introduced the blue-noise mask to color halftoning. This
paper introduces, to color printing, green-noise halftoning. The first technique extends error
diffusion with output-dependent feedback to not only cluster pixels of like color but also to …
