System And Method For The Accelerated Screening Of Digital Images

摘要

Writing unscreened raster image data into a computing device that contains multiple elements capable of screening raster image data, and executing a plurality of processes within the multiple elements, wherein segments of the unscreened raster image data are simultaneously screened by the plurality of processes. The computing device could utilize graphical processing units, field programmable gate arrays, application specific integrated circuits or other processing devices.

主权项

1. A method of producing screened raster image data of an image or separation for a digital imaging device comprising the steps of:
writing unscreened raster image data into a computing device that contains a plurality of processors; dividing said raster image data into data segments; causing each of said plurality of processors to simultaneously screen a different data segment to provide screened data, each data segment representing a sub-portion of the image or separation;
