Error Diffusion - Enter The Digital Era

Enter The Digital Era

Floyd and Steinberg described a system for performing error diffusion on digital images based on a simple kernel:

where "" denotes a pixel in the current row which has already been processed (hence diffusing error to it would be pointless), and "#" denotes the pixel currently being processed.

Famous quotes containing the words enter the, enter and/or era:

Not by vigorous immaturity, but by immaturity that was old and tired and prudent, that loved ritual and rubric, and was utterly wanting in curiosity about the new and the strange. Its era has passed away, and the world it made has crumbled around us. Its finest creation, a code of manners, has been ridiculed and discarded.
    Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
