Color-Halftoning Using Simulated Annealing

Abstract

In this article, Simulated-Annealing ( SA ) is introduced into the color halftoning. SA is one of the method of combination optimization problem. SA is the superior method compared with the GA, because of no generation of discontinuity appeares in boundary area, and processing speed is fast. It becomes an excellent expression by limiting the color made a quantum according to the color of the original image when SA is introduced into the color halftoning. Moreover, the generation of the color other than white and the black are lost in the monochrome image.
