ABSTRACT:
An image preprocessing method and apparatus processes image data line-by-line using an error diffusion or dithering process to generate a halftoned image in which the radius of a dot representing a pixel is /dpi.ltoreq.r.ltoreq..sqroot.2/dpi The method and apparatus selectively performs the halftone process on every other pixel to reduce in consumption and computation time while maintaining a high resolution.
