摘要:
What is disclosed is a novel system and method for retrieving a gamut mapping for a color device. A ray-based model is derived from a system estimation of either a seed profile or a seed device. The model is hard coded inside a run-time ICC profile creation algorithm. The runtime profile generation code can be optimized for a variety of gamut mapping scenarios. The generated profile is provided to an imaging system wherein out-of-gamut colors are mapped to the color gamut of the host device. The present method provides an accurate way to reproduce colors of images by retrieving the gamut mapping from profiles or from the color device that use destination profiles for rendering images.

Disclosed herein are optimal or near optimal algorithms implemented as software tools that will allow the user/machine to identify optimal media out of the job set automatically. There are at least two main process steps to the exemplary embodiment. The first step involves the off-line characterization of the printing/image rendering system that will be used to extract the principal basis vectors from the experimental data. The second step involves the run-time mode, in which the pre-characterized basis vectors are used in conjunction with an optimal algorithm that will identify the media for re-calibration/re-characterization from the group of media set that the customer is interested to print. The optimal algorithm performs the combinatorial search every time the customer wishes to select the media. Once the optimal media is selected, the customer or the machine can print color patches (which are also optimal set) and execute the rest of the processing to reconstruct the best color management LUTs.

摘要:
What is disclosed is a method for profile LUT construction which uses a cost function to provide improvements to one or more image quality attributes present in printed images while imposing constraints in terms of color accuracy and spectral response to achieve a color match under various illuminants. Image quality attributes are selected. A reference profile is selected. For each node, candidate recipes are found which reproduce L*a*b* colors within a threshold em. Recipes are pruned to a subset containing recipes where a spectral difference between a predicted spectra corresponding to N color levels and a reference reflectance spectra corresponding to a spectra of a recipe produced by the reference profile, is less than a threshold. A cost function is computed and a recipe identified which minimizes the cost for this node. The process repeats for all nodes to produce a new profile LUT.
