This gem presents an improved halftoning technique using dispersed dots. 1 This corresponds to finding a microdot distribution that approximates the intensity levels that have to be rendered. An improved threshold matrix for ordered dithering is presented that avoids unwanted low-frequency portions without introducing too much random noise. Since the new method produces images of high quality, it is ideally suited for output generation in high-end image processing systems.
