IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18510768 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for an image processing apparatus that generates quantized data for printing high-quality images with resistance to print misalignment. The apparatus uses lattice patterns of first and second dot patterns that overlap, creating a combined dot pattern with neighboring dots arranged at intervals smaller than a lattice spacing.
- The image processing apparatus generates quantized data for printing high-quality images.
- The apparatus uses lattice patterns of first and second dot patterns that overlap.

Original Abstract Submitted
An object is to print a high quality image with resistance to print misalignment. To this end, the image processing apparatus generates quantized data for printing a first dot pattern and a second dot pattern in an overlapping manner. The first dot pattern and the second dot pattern are lattice patterns varying in a combination of two basis vectors. In a combined dot pattern obtained by combining the first and second dot patterns, there is a neighboring dot in which a dot in the first dot pattern and a dot in the second dot pattern are arranged at an interval smaller than a lattice spacing. The neighboring dot includes multiple neighboring dots varying in an approach direction.
