Abstract :
A novel digital half-toning technique is presented for the efficient transformation of grey scale images into bilevel ones. The bilevel image pixels are divided into classes, which are progressively generated in a parallel fashion, utilising a simple criterion. A continuous-tone image can thus be progressively coded and transmitted in bilevel form
