Conventional configurations and their problems In recent years, the use of facsimiles in daily work has been expanding more and more, and along with this, there has been an increasing demand for reproduction of gradation images in addition to the conventional black and white binary.

For these pseudo gradation reproductions, various dithering methods are widely used in which an image is binarized according to a matrix table of threshold values. However, these conventional methods have a contradiction in that in order to improve tone reproducibility, it is necessary to make the matrix table large, and in order to obtain high resolution, the matrix table must be made small. It was difficult to achieve both high resolution. In particular, for images in which a gradation image and a binary image coexist, one of them has to be sacrificed.
