    摘要: A method for converting a specified color value from a first color space to a second color space identifies the specified color value in the first color space. A converted color space value is received from a final lookup table. The converted color space value is previously determined as a function of the specified color value and a mid-point interpolation and represents the specified color in the second color space. The converted color space value is stored in a memory device.

    摘要: A method of color transformation is based on non-separable tiling of a color space. Non-separable tiling allows fine granularity where it is desired and coarse granularity where it is tolerable. Non-separable tiling of the color space provides improved transformation quality for a given lookup table size. Color space is recursively tiled and addressed. Transformation information from the tiles is stored in a database. Database searching techniques are used to speed information access. For example, a hashing function and hashing table are employed to store and retrieve transformation information. An image processor operative to perform the method includes a database index generator and a database of transformation information. For example, the database index generator generates a hashing key from pixel information and uses a hashing function to generate a database cell index. The image processor includes an output device. The output device is, for example, a xerographic printer.

    摘要: A simplified color space transformation method uses a principal axis or dominating parameter in a first color space to determine the value of an associated axis in a second color space. Transformation curves relating the principal axis to the associated second space axis are predetermined and stored. Each curve describes the relationship between the principal axis and the associated axis given certain values for remaining, secondary or non-principal first color space axes. In operation the non-principal axes are used to calculate index values. For example, the non-principal values are quantized. The index values are used to access an appropriate curve. The principal axis value is used as an index into the appropriate curve. An image processor operative to perform the method comprises a transformation curve library. Software modules running on a computational device, such as, a microprocessor or digital signal processor analyze image pixels and access appropriate curves for use in transforming the pixel into a new color space.

    摘要: A method is proposed for reducing the cost of color transformations implemented by multi-dimensional lookup tables, especially in the case where the input space is a luminance-chrominance color space. Multilevel halftoning is applied to the two chrominance coordinates in order to map them to the chrominance node values of the lookup table. Multilevel chrominance halftoning introduces chrominance errors at high spatial frequencies, where the human visual system is insensitive. 1-D interpolation is then applied on the luminance coordinate to obtain the output color value. This method therefore reduces 3-D interpolation to halftoning and 1-D interpolation, thereby saving computational cost without introducing objectionable image error.

    摘要: Color printing systems frequently use multiresolution analysis, which creates intermediate lower resolution images, in applications such as descreening and filtering. The typical steps are to decompose the original image into sub bands, apply the application to one or more sub bands and then recompose the image, prior to color correction and color space transformation. This disclosure describes applying the color correction to one of the lower resolution sub bands and a simpler color space transformation to the final image as a way to reduce the amount of computation. The described multiresolution analysis is a wavelet transform.

    摘要: In a "hi-fi" color printing system, wherein colorants of hi-fi colors beyond the regular CMYK primary colorants are available, a main gamut obtainable with the CMYK colorants only is mutually exclusive with at least one extended gamut in which a hi-fi colorant is used and a complementary one of the CMY colorants is excluded. Because the main and extended gamuts are mutually exclusive, no more than four colorants are used in any part of the image, and no more than four halftone screens need be used to obtain any desired color.

    摘要: A pure rendering intent is used to render text and line art in color imaging systems. A CMY image goes through a one hundred percent under color removal process creating a CMYK image. The CMYK image is processed by a set of clamping tone reproduction curves. The clamping tone reproduction curves shift nearly saturated colors to total saturation. The result is a rendering of text and line art that has improved clarity and legibility.
