IMAGING GLOSSARY

Dithering (imaging)

The method of using neighborhoods of display pixels to represent one image intensity or color.

This method allows low-intensity resolution display devices to simulate higher resolution images. For example, a binary laser printer can use block patterns to display gray-scale images.

See halftone.
