Computational Geometric and Combinatorial Approaches to Digital Halftoning

Abstract

Digital halftoning is a technique to convert a continuous-tone image into a binary image consisting of black and white dots. It is an important technique for printing machines and printers to output an image with few intensity levels or colors which looks similar to an input image. In this talk I will explain how computational geometry and combinatorial optimization can contribute to digital halftoning or what geometric and combinatorial problems are related to digital halftoning.
