Abstract
Halftoning image is widely used in printing and scanning equipment, which is of great significance for the preservation and processing of these images. However, because of the different resolution of the display devices, the processing and display of halftone image are confronted with great challenges, such as Moore pattern and image blurring. Therefore, the inverse halftone technique is required to remove the halftoning screen. In this paper, we propose a sparse representation based inverse halftone algorithm via learning the clean dictionary, which is realized by two steps: deconvolution and sparse optimization in the transform domain to remove the noise. The main contributions of this paper include three aspects: first, we analysis the denoising effects for different training sets and the redundancy of dictionary; Then we propose the improved a sparse representation based denoising algorithm through adaptively learning the dictionary, which iteratively remove the noise of the training set and upgrade the quality of the dictionary; Then the error diffusion halftone image inverse halftoning algorithm is proposed. Finally, we verify that the noise level in the error diffusion linear model is fixed, and the noise level is only related to the diffusion operator. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has better PSNR and visual performance than state-of-the-art methods.
