1. A system to generate a continuous tone image from tagged binary encoded image, comprising:

  • a pattern identifier generator to generate a pattern identifier value based upon a pattern of pixels around a pixel of interest;

    an image type selector to generate an image type signal identifying an image context type in a pre-determined neighborhood of pixels around a pixel of interest; and

    a contone value generator, operatively connected to said pattern identifier generator and said image type selector to receive said pattern identifier value and said image type signal, to generate a contone value from the received pattern identifier value based upon the received image type signal.
