Finding the Natural Problem in the Bayer Dispersed Dot Method with Genetic Algorithm

Abstract

This paper studies how the built-in natural weakness in the image processing algorithm or system can be searched and found with the evolutionary algorithms. In this paper, we show how the genetic algorithm finds the weakness in the Bayer's dispersed dot dithering method. We also take a closer look at the method and identify why this weakness is relatively easy to find with synthetic images. Moreover, we discuss the importance of comprehensive testing before the results with some image processing methods are reliable. © Springer-Verlag 2004.
