title: Binary image synthesis using mixed linear integer programming.
abstract: Images that are to be transmitted through a distorting imaging system may be deliberately altered to compensate for that distortion. The authors consider an incoherent diffraction-limited imaging system followed by an ideal high-contrast detector that prints binary images, and seek a binary input image (a mask) that generates a desired prescribed binary output image. They have developed a method for determining the optimal binary mask by formulating the problem as a mixed linear integer program (MLIP) and using the branch and bound method to solve it.
