Description

技术领域
本发明涉及印刷领域, 具体而言, 涉及调幅加网方法和装置。 背景技术
现代胶印釆用的是柯式印刷, 即四色套印, 也就是将彩色图片分成 四色: 青(C ), 品(M ), 黄(Y ), 黑(K )四色。 对于一种油墨来说, 它的颜色和浓度是固定的, 即输出结果是 2值, 0和 1 , 分别代表了油 墨的存在与否, 并没有中间的灰度级, 这就决定了一幅将要被打印的图 像应该是由二进制的图像元素组成的。完成从灰度图到 2值图像的操作 过程叫做挂网。 挂网也叫加网, 是指把连续色调的图像分解成网点的过 程。 加网后的图像, 用网点的大小或疏密反映图像实际的层次。 对图像 进行加网的过程在图像学中称为数字半色调过程。如果网点间距离相等 而大小是变化的, 称为调幅网; 网点大小相同而间距是变化的, 称为调 频网。
当使用放大装置观看印刷出的图像时, 细细观察先前肉眼能够看到 的微小的点粒, 可以发现单一颜色的点粒的排列规律。 点粒的变化规律 有以下两种: 点粒中心位置规则排列, 点粒的大小随局部灰度级的增大 而增大, 这种图像是由调幅网挂网生成的, 其中各种形状的点粒业界称 为网点。 另外一些图像, 其中的点粒更加细小, 并且它们的大小相同, 只不过灰度层次高的地方点粒密集, 层次低的地方点粒稀松, 这种图像 就是调频网挂网生成的, 其中的点粒一般也称为网点, 不过它的意义和 调幅网中的网点不同。
在调幅网中网点的形状和大小随灰度层次的增加而改变的规律称 为网形。 传统的网形有纯圓网点, 还有: 线性网点、 方圓网点、 方形网 点、 椭圓形网点, 菱形网点等等, 上述网点属于传统调幅网点。
传统印刷中, 频繁使用调幅网点, 由于制版印刷工艺过程中普遍存 在网点扩大的现象, 网点扩大越大则印刷输出层次损失越严重。 因不同 网型带来的网点扩大程度也有所差异, 按几何学推导, 纯圓网点周长最 短, 因此纯圓网点扩大就越小, 其它规则网点周长都偏大, 其网点扩大 也就越严重。 但是, 一旦圓形网点与圓形网点相连后, 其扩张系数就会 很高, 从而导致印刷时因暗调区域网点油墨量过大而容易在周边堆积, 最终使图像暗调部分失去应有的层次。
发明人发现,纯圓网点之外的其他网点则具有调幅网的两个典型特 点, 包括:
1 )相对纯圓网点, 单个网点周长都比较大;
2 ) 网点排列角度 单一, 只能是正交排列的两种角度 或 90+ 同时 2 ) 中提到的正交网点排列也是传统网点的一个共性。 发明人 发现, 由许多印刷实际经验结合几何推导可以得出, 正交网点分布特点 在印刷过程中容易因传统网角选择受限或印刷控制不当导致 CMYK四 色版套印撞网或纹理问题, 最终影响印刷输出质量。 发明内容
本发明旨在提供一种调幅加网方法和装置, 以解决现有技术的网点 的问题。
在本发明的实施例中, 提供了一种调幅加网方法, 包括: 以正六边 形网点构成用于调幅加网的阈值矩阵。
在本发明的实施例中, 提供了一种调幅加网装置, 包括: 矩阵模块, 用于以正六边形网点构成用于调幅加网的阈值矩阵。
本发明上述实施例的调幅加网方法和装置因为釆用正六边形网点构 成阈值矩阵, 所以克服了现有技术的网点所存在的问题, 达到了提高印 刷质量的效果。 附图说明

图 9示出了根据本发明一个优选实施例的矩阵模块的示意图。 具体实施方式
下面将参考附图并结合实施例来详细说明本发明。
本发明的一个实施例提供了一种调幅加网方法, 包括: 以正六 边形网点构成用于调幅加网的阈值矩阵。
现有技术提供了纯圓网点、 线性网点、 方圓网点、 方形网点、 椭圓形网点, 菱形网点等, 但是都存在各自的问题。 图 1 示出了根 据本发明实施例的六边形网点形状变化规律的示意图, 可以看出生 成的正六边形网点有效地缩小单个网点的周长尺寸, 使其更加接近 纯原形网点周长, 从而有效减弱网点扩大并控制在允许的范围内; 同时因正六边形网点网角排布的非正交性, 规避了因套印原因以及 传统网角受限导致的撞网等纹理痼疾, 最终使得该网点不仅能在任 何印刷条件下使用, 而且其网点层次质量也得到了最大的发挥。
图 2 示出了根据本发明一个优选实施例的以正六边形网点构成 阈值矩阵的流程图, 包括:
步骤 S 10 , 在阈值矩阵中平铺正六边形网点;
步骤 S20 , 将阈值矩阵的每个像素映射到各个正六边形网点; 步骤 S30 ,对于每个正六边形网点,对其中的各个像素设置阈值。 六边形网点的示意图, 图 3是创建的特征矩形, 图 4示出了将阈值 矩阵划分为平铺的多个特征矩形; 图 5 示出了设置每个特征矩形包 含: 1个正六边形网点 DO, 处于中央; 和 4个 1/4正六边形网点 Dl、 D2、 D3、 D4, 分别处于特征矩形的四角, 并与 DO相邻; 其中, 以 平铺方向的对角线为第一切割线, 以穿过正六边形网点的中心垂直 于第一切割线的线为第二切割线, 将正六边形网点分成 4份。
由于正六边形几何特性, 相比方形网点其无法在网点阈值矩阵 内进行平铺操作, 因此定义一矩形网点区域 T' (即特征矩形), 参见 图 3。 在如图 4所示, 利用特征矩形 T'完成阈值矩阵内的平铺后, 再 如图 5 所示, 在每个特征矩形 T'内划分正六边形。 从而实现了在阈 值矩阵中平铺正六边形网点的效果。 利用特征矩形来平铺正六边形 网点只是本发明的一个优选实施例, 本发明并不限定于此, 任何用 别的几何方法实现在阈值矩阵内平铺正六边形网点, 都属于本发明 的精神范围。

将 L形区域投射到矩形 ABCD中, 即将这个 L型区域投射到矩 形 ABCD中得到矩形 ABCD的一个区域划分, 它们同 L型区域中的 每个部分——对应, 网点编号不变, 这样, 整个矩形 ABCD中, 不 论完整的网点, 还是不全的网点都有了统一的编号, 其中, 编号相 同的不全网点可合并为一个完整的网点。 到此, 就完成了对阈值矩 阵中网点的统一编号, 将阈值矩阵 T 内每个像素点通过几何变化映 射到各自的正六边形网点中。 所谓投射, 就是将一个区域的几个顶 点分别作被投射区域的垂直线, 通过些垂直线与被投射区域的交点 的连线在被投射区域内组成的区域。
优选地, 对于各个正六边形网点, 对其中的各个像素设置阈值 包括: 对于每个正六边形网点, 根据其中各个像素在正六边形网点 中的位置确定其排序值 , 其中, i=l, 2, ...ΧχΥ/η, X和 Υ分别 为阈值矩阵的长和宽, n为正六边形网点的个数; 根据排序值, 建立 队列:

赋值模块 30, 用于对于每个正六边形网点, 对其中的各个像素 设置阈值。
优选地, 平铺模块 10包括:
划分模块, 用于将阈值矩阵划分为平铺的多个特征矩形; 构建模块, 用于设置每个特征矩形包含: 1个正六边形网点 DO, 处于中央; 和 4个 1/4正六边形网点 Dl、 D2、 D3、 D4, 分别处于特 征矩形的四角, 并与 DO相邻; 其中, 以平铺方向的对角线为第一切 割线, 以穿过正六边形网点的中心垂直于第一切割线的线为第二切 割线, 将正六边形网点分成 4份。
从以上的描述中可以看出, 本发明上述的实施例在原有不同网 形阈值矩阵生长方法基础上, 根据传统印刷以及特种印刷 (包括: 柔版印刷、 凹版印刷、 丝网印刷等) 工艺要求, 充分利用了几何学 及数学推导公式等方法, 生成的正六边形网点有效地缩小单个网点 的周长尺寸, 使其更加接近纯原形网点周长, 从而有效减弱网点扩 大并控制在允许的范围内; 同时因正六边形网点网角排布的非正交 性, 规避了因套印原因以及传统网角受限导致的撞网等纹理痼疾, 最终使得该网点不仅能在任何印刷条件下使用, 而且其网点层次质 量也得到了最大的发挥。
显然, 本领域的技术人员应该明白, 上述的本发明的各模块或 各步骤可以用通用的计算装置来实现, 它们可以集中在单个的计算 装置上, 或者分布在多个计算装置所组成的网络上, 可选地, 它们 可以用计算装置可执行的程序代码来实现, 从而可以将它们存储在 存储装置中由计算装置来执行, 或者将它们分别制作成各个集成电 路模块, 或者将它们中的多个模块或步骤制作成单个集成电路模块 来实现。 这样, 本发明不限制于任何特定的硬件和软件结合。
以上所述仅为本发明的优选实施例而已, 并不用于限制本发明, 对于本领域的技术人员来说, 本发明可以有各种更改和变化。 凡在 本发明的精神和原则之内, 所作的任何修改、 等同替换、 改进等, 均应包含在本发明的保护范围之内。
