Method of producing improved lenticular images

A method to facilitate preparing an image comprising a plurality of interlaced images for printing, comprising:

• providing the image;
• halftone processing the image at least in part according to a predetermined function
• depending at least in part on diffusing error from a pixel corresponding to a first interlaced image to other pixels corresponding to the first interlaced image.

A method to facilitate preparing an image comprising a plurality of interlaced images for printing, comprising:

• providing the image;
• mapping the image such that an index corresponding to each pixel of a halftone processed version of a given interlaced image associates that pixel to other pixels of the halftone processed version of the given interlaced image.

A method to facilitate preparing an image comprising a plurality of interlaced images for printing, comprising:

• providing the image;
• mapping the image such that an index corresponding to each pixel of a halftone processed version of a given interlaced image associates a depth indication to each pixel.

A method to facilitate preparing an image comprising a plurality of interlaced images for printing, comprising:

• providing the image;
• halftone processing the image at least in part according to a predetermined function depending at least in part on a threshold variable for a given pixel that is responsive at least in part to a printed status of nearby pixels of the image.

A method to facilitate preparing an image comprising a plurality of interlaced images for printing, comprising:

• providing the image;
• halftone processing the image at least in part according to a predetermined function depending at least in part on a human visual system model.

A method to facilitate preparing an image comprising a plurality of interlaced images for printing, comprising:

• providing the image;
• halftone processing the image;
• post-processing the image by changing a printed status of at least one pixel to increase the likelihood of printing on adjacent pixels.

A method to facilitate preparing an image comprising a plurality of interlaced images for printing, comprising:

• providing the image;
• halftone processing the image at least in part by adjusting a gray scale level of a given pixel according to a predetermined function at least in part of a gray scale level of nearby pixels and probability values obtained from a lookup table.

A method to facilitate preparing an image comprising a plurality of interlaced images for printing, comprising:

• providing the image;
• halftone processing the image at least in part by shifting a set of pixels by a predetermined distance relative to nearby pixels.

A method to facilitate preparing an image comprising a plurality of interlaced images for printing, comprising:

• providing the image;
• halftone processing the image according to a plurality interlaced dither arrays.

(M)A method to facilitate preparing an image comprising a plurality of interlaced images for printing, comprising:

• providing the image;
• halftone processing the image according to a frequency content in the image.

A method to facilitate preparing an image comprising a plurality of interlaced images for printing, comprising:

• providing the image;
• halftone processing the image according to a gray scale level of a given pixel such that the given pixel is processed using stochastic halftoning for gray levels of 0% to about 29% and about 71% to 100% and using period halftoning for mid-level gray levels of about 30% to about 70%.

A method to facilitate preparing an image comprising a plurality of interlaced images for printing, comprising:

• providing the image;
• inserting pixels prior to halftone processing the image to allow for an approximately equal number of pixels from each interlaced image to correspond to a given lens.
