ABSTRACT:
An adaptable image segmentation system for differentially rendering black and white and/or color images using a plurality of imaging techniques. An image is segmented according to classes of regions that may be rendered according to the same imaging techniques. Image regions may be rendered according to a three class system (such as traditional text, graphic and picture systems), or according to more than three image classes. In addition, only two image classes may be required to render high quality draft or final output images. The image characteristics that may be rendered differently from class to class may include halftoning, colorization and other image attributes.
