Abstract
A system and method facilitating activity (e.g., dithering/half toning and/or noise) detection is provided. The invention includes an activity detection system having a connected component analyzer and an activity detector. The invention provides for the quantity of connected component(s) in and/or intersecting a region surrounding a pixel to be determined. The activity detector provides an activity map output based, at least in part, upon the quantity of connected component(s) in and/or intersecting the region. The invention further provides for an optional image processor. In one example, if the quantity exceeds a first threshold, dithering/half toning is detected and appropriate action can be taken. Additionally, if the quantity is less than a second threshold, noise is detected and appropriate action can be taken.
