Abstract

The invention discloses a method for evaluating the quality of a printer image halftone outputting algorithm. The method comprises the steps of converting an output halftone image measurement value into a Munsell lightness value, performing linear fitting on the Munsell lightness value and a corresponding gray value, using four indexes including error term quadratic sum, root-mean-square errors, regression coefficient and adjusted regression coefficient to perform unitary linear recursive analysis, and accordingly analyzing the robustness of a halftone algorithm to the laser printer non-linear characteristic. By adopting the method, the purpose of evaluating the robustness of the halftone algorithm to the laser printer non-linear characteristic is achieved, and a basis is provided for further modification of the halftone algorithm and establishment of a printer model.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of digital image processing, and relates to a method for checking output halftone results, in particular to a method for evaluating the quality of a printer image halftone output algorithm. Background technique [0002] Due to the nonlinear characteristics of the printer, when the halftone result obtained by the halftone algorithm is output, the output halftone result generally has a non-linear reproduction of the tone. Therefore, the halftone algorithm should be robust to the nonlinear characteristics of the printer. In order to evaluate the robustness of the halftone algorithm to laser printers, it is necessary to evaluate the linearity of the halftone results output by the printer, so as to provide a basis for further modification of the halftone algorithm and establishment of a printer model. [0003] The current halftone algorithm evaluation methods usually only use digital image evaluation methods such as mean ...
