A multiscale error diffusion technique for digital halftoning. Katsavounidis, I. & Jay Kuo, C. Image Processing, IEEE Transactions on, 6(3):483-490, 3, 1997.
doi  abstract   bibtex   
A new digital halftoning technique based on multiscale error diffusion is examined. We use an image quadtree to represent the difference image between the input gray-level image and the output halftone image. In iterative algorithm is developed that searches the brightest region of a given image via ldquo;maximum intensity guidance rdquo; for assigning dots and diffuses the quantization error noncausally at each iteration. To measure the quality of halftone images, we adopt a new criterion based on hierarchical intensity distribution. The proposed method provides very good results both visually and in terms of the hierarchical intensity quality measure
