Patent ID: 6873338

Claim:
A method for arranging an array of picture elements (pixels) comprising the steps of: selecting a non-uniform predictable distribution function from the group of a short pseudo-random number sequence, a nonlinear mathematical function having broad spectral content, and a cyclic redundancy check polynomial-based process; arranging a first set of pixels along at least one dimensional axis according to said non-uniform predictable distribution function, resulting in non-uniformly spaced non-uniformly sized gaps between the pixels of the first set; and arranging at least one additional set of pixels within said non-uniformly spaced and non-uniformly sized gaps between the pixels of the first set by placing pixels from said additional set(s) into appropriately sized gaps, thereby producing a composite array having at least one additional array of non-uniformly spaced pixels overlaid on the array of first set of pixels in which all pixels are spatially noncoincident.
