Abstract:

In this paper we evaluate the potentials of using co-evolutionary optimization method to automatically generate both halftoning filters and their test images. The genetic algorithm generates halftone filters and at the same time, tries to create the hardest test image for each filter. The best filter being the one for which the hardest test image, when dithered, differs least from the original. An image population defines the fitness of halftoning filters and vice versa.
