The invention relates to a rational tangent
amplitude modulation screening method based on a minimum threshold matrix. On the basis of a minimum threshold matrix design principle, an
amplitude modulation screening algorithm angle and a threshold matrix are designed, and the method comprises the following steps of: 1, designing the sizes of 0-degree, 15-degree, 45-degree and 75-degree threshold matrixes respectively according to the design principle of the minimum threshold matrix; 2, after the sizes of different screening angle threshold matrixes are designed, designing the screening thresholdmatrixes of 0 degree, 15 degrees, 45 degrees and 75 degrees by taking the angular points of the grids as starting points according to a threshold matrix design rule; 3, screening the whole grayscaleimage; and step 4, solving pixel coordinates of the original
grayscale image. According to the method, screening including 0-degree screening, 15-degree screening, 45-degree screening and 75-degree screening is achieved at different angles, rational tangent screening cannot be achieved for 15-degree screening and 75-degree screening, an approximate angle screening mode is adopted, an error is reduced to the minimum, and influence of the angle error on a screened image is reduced to the minimum.
