Abstract
The invention provides a method for reconstructing a dither matrix, used to transform a rastered gray-level image into an image of binary pixels, from the dithered image. The method includes the steps of determining the dimensions of the dither matrix from the spatial frequencies present in the dithered image and then determining the threshold values of the dither matrix from the distribution function of the pixels having a specific value.
