Adjustment of a halftoning threshold
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system of adjustment of a halftoning threshold, comprising:
- a determine engine to determine an actual energy value of a first location of a plurality of locations of a build area;
an assign engine to assign a reference energy value to the first location;
a relative engine to assign a relative energy value to a second location of the plurality of locations based on the reference energy value; and
an adjust engine to adjust a halftoning threshold for the second location based on the relative energy value.

Abstract
Adjustment of a halftoning threshold can, in an example implementation, include assigning a relative energy value, relative to a reference energy value, to a location of a build area and adjusting a halftoning threshold based on the relative energy value.

7. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing resource to cause a computer to:
-
generate a spatial energy map of a portion of a build area; generate a nozzle drop weight map of the portion of the build area; generate a two-dimensional (2-D) matrix of a relative energy value received at each of a plurality of addressable locations of the portion of the build area based on the spatial energy map and the nozzle drop weight map; and adjust a halftoning threshold for an addressable location of the plurality of addressable locations based on the 2-D matrix. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 19)

13. A method of adjustment of a halftoning threshold for three-dimensional (3-D) printing, comprising:
-
determining an amount of energy received at each of a plurality of addressable locations of a portion of a build area of a 3-D printer; generating a relative energy value for each of the plurality of addressable locations, relative to a reference energy value, based on the determined amount of energy received; and adjusting a halftone matrix threshold of the plurality of addressable locations based on the relative energy value for each of the plurality of addressable locations. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 20)
