1. A method of controlling the width of one or more image objects in a digital: image using a digital image processor, the method comprising: a) selecting a target pixel having a pixel value in a digital image; b) forming one or more pixel group windows, each pixel group window including the target pixel; c) determining whether an edge is detected within the one or more pixel group windows; d) if an edge is detected, modeling a one-dimensional density distribution of the edge and determining distribution parameters; e) adjusting the distribution parameters; f) generating a new pixel value for the target pixel based on area-sampling of the adjusted distribution for producing a modified edge in the image object; and g) repeating steps a)-f) for a plurality of pixels forming the one or more image objects in the digital image.
