boustrophedon

Filed under: — ankit @ 7:34 pm

Interesting word. Came across this word while reading about popular halftoning algorithms. Here is what it means:

boustrophedon - An ancient method of writing in which the lines are inscribed alternately from right to left and from left to right.

Apparently halftoning algorithms improve greatly if images are processed in a boustrophedonic pattern instead of simple scanlines…
