Summary :

This work presents an approximate global optimization method for image halftone by fusing multi-scale information of the tree model. We employ Gaussian mixture model and hidden Markov tree to characterized the intra-scale clustering and inter-scale persistence properties of the detailed coefficients, respectively. The model of multiscale perceived error metric and the theory of scale-related perceived error metric are used to fuse the statistical distribution of the error metric of the scale of clustering and cross-scale persistence. An Energy function is then generated. Through energy minimization via graph cuts, we gain the halftone image. In the related experiment, we demonstrate the superior performance of this new algorithm when compared with several algorithms and quantitative evaluation.
