Abstract
The present invention discloses a dithering method and related apparatus that uses the tiling rule of Wang Tiles. The disclosed method includes the following steps: providing a plurality of dithering tiles, wherein each of the plurality of dithering tiles corresponds to a threshold array; generating at least one dithering mask with the plurality of dithering tiles according to the tiling rule of Wang Tiles; and comparing the pixel values of the image with corresponding threshold values of the dithering mask on a pixel-by-pixel basis to generate a halftone image of the image.
