Patent ID: 8077357

Claim:
A method for resizing a digital uniform rosette halftone image composed of multiple colorant separations, the method comprising: receiving into a digital imaging system, a digital uniform rosette halftone image and a desired resizing factor for the digital uniform rosette halftone image; defining uniform rosette cells within the uniform rosette digital halftone image; determining from the defined uniform rosette cells, a subset of uniform rosette halftone tile seams to manipulate, where the orientation of each of the uniform rosette halftone tile seams is dictated by the received desired resizing factor; determining an energy map of the digital uniform rosette halftone image according to an energy metric derived from the multiple colorant separations; determining an energy for each of the seams within the energy map so as to provide indication as to which seams have low energy; resizing of the uniform rosette halftone image by manipulating at least one of the uniform rosette halftone tile seams having low energy to obtain a resized uniform rosette halftone image; and printing the resized uniform rosette halftone image on a printer.
