Presents an accelerated halftoning technique using an improved genetic algorithm with tiny populations. The algorithm is based on a cooperative model for genetic operators in GA. Two kinds of operators are used in parallel to produce offspring: (i) SRM (self-reproduction with mutation) to introduce diversity by means of adaptive dynamic-block (ADB) mutation inducing the appearance of beneficial mutations. (ii) CM (crossover and mutation) to promote the increase of beneficial mutations in the population. SRM applies qualitative mutation only to the bits inside a mutation block and controls the required exploration-exploitation balance through its adaptive mechanism. An extinctive selection mechanism subjects SRMs' and CMs' offspring to competition for survival. The simulation results show that our scheme reduces computer memory and processing time required to obtain high quality halftone images. For example, compared to the conventional halftoning technique with GA, the proposed algorithm using only a 2% population size required about 15% evaluations to generate similar quality images. The results make our scheme appealing for practical implementations of the halftoning technique using GA
