Generation of Grey Tones by Computer for Simulation of Visual Information Systems

Abstract

It is the evaluation of the subjective fidelity which is of primary importance in any communication system where humans constitute the final information receiver. A method showing how to generate grey-tone increments by computer for displaying simulation results is described. The method is based on the fact that, by overprinting well-defined characters of a commercially available chain printer, grey tones can be produced. The set of characters and the number of overprints used is presented in matrix form. Copyright © 1969 by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.
