Abstract (en)

[origin: US4667247A] Record quality of a bit map of a newspaper page, for example, is checked directly on a display screen without previously manufacturing a material image carrier, such as a film. For this purpose, it is read out in multi-line fashion, preferably in 4 - line fashion. Squares consisting of m (preferably likewise 4) successive points of n (preferably 4) superimposed lines are grouped into one "superpixel" each, and its gray value, for example, is determined as an average of the black-white values of the individual pixels forming the square. The superpixel is displayed with its gray value as a single point on the display screen instead of the mxn square.
