Abstract
The direct binary search algorithm is a powerful heuristic for generating
high quality halftone images that account for the characteristics of both
the output device and the viewer. With a hard circular dot model, it yields
enhanced detail rendition, suppression of aliasing artifacts, and improved
tonal gradation in shadow areas.
