Abstract

Recently there has been an increasing interest in making visual models an intrinsic part of halftoning algorithms in order to improve the quality of the resulting halftone images. Due to computational constraints and the importance of filtering in the visual processing, the majority of visual models simply consist of a CSF. In this paper, we present a comparative study of different CSFs as to their suitability for the formulation of quality measures in halftoning. The evaluation of the different CSFs is implemented by weighting with each CSF the frequency domain halftoning error of 44 halftone images, and then comparing the resulting weighted errors with the results of a psychovisual test.
