EUROGRAPHICS ’98 / N. Ferreira and M. Göbel (Guest Editors) Dithered Color Quantization
2008Co-Authors: J. M. Buhmann, D.w. Fellner, M. Held, J. Ketterer, J. PuzichaAbstract:Image quantization and digital halftoning are fundamental problems in computer graphics, which arise when displaying high-color images on non-truecolor devices. Both steps are generally performed sequentially and, in most cases, independent of each other. Color quantization with a pixel-wise defined distortion measure and the dithering process with its local neighborhood optimize different Quality criteria or, frequently, follow a heuristic without reference to any Quality measure. In this paper we propose a new method to simultaneously quantize and dither color images. The method is based on a rigorous cost–function approach which optimizes a Quality Criterion derived from a generic model of human perception. A highly efficient algorithm for optimization based on a multiscale method is developed for the dithered color quantization cost function. The Quality Criterion and the optimization algorithms are evaluated on a representative set of artificial and real–world images as well as on a collection of icons. A significant image Quality improvement is observed compared to standard color reduction approaches. 1

on spatial quantization of color images
IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, 2000Co-Authors: J. Puzicha, J. M. Buhmann, M. Held, J. Ketterer, D.w. FellnerAbstract:Image quantization and digital halftoning, two fundamental image processing problems, are generally performed sequentially and, in most cases, independent of each other. Color reduction with a pixel-wise defined distortion measure and the halftoning process with its local averaging neighborhood typically optimize different Quality criteria or, frequently, follow a heuristic approach without reference to any quantitative Quality measure. In this paper, we propose a new model to simultaneously quantize and halftone color images. The method is based on a rigorous cost-function approach which optimizes a Quality Criterion derived from a simplified model of human perception. It incorporates spatial and contextual information into the quantization and thus overcomes the artificial separation of quantization and halftoning. Optimization is performed by an efficient multiscale procedure which substantially alleviates the computational burden. The Quality Criterion and the optimization algorithms are evaluated on a representative set of artificial and real-world images showing a significant image Quality improvement compared to standard color reduction approaches. Applying the developed cost function, we also suggest a new distortion measure for evaluating the overall Quality of color reduction schemes.
