    摘要: A method and color image processor for rendering a color image includes selective blending between transforms or rendering intents. Based on a pixels location within a color gamut of a first device the pixel is mapped to a color gamut of a second device as directed by a first transform or rendering intent, a second transform or rendering intent or a blend between the first and second transforms.

    摘要: A transformation function defines a relationship between a first color space and a second color space. The transformation function is edited by producing first and second outputs of an image in the first and second color spaces, respectively. The outputs are related in accordance with the transformation function. A portion of the first output, which corresponds to a portion of the second output including a color to be modified, is selected via a graphical user interface. A desired amount to modify the color is specified. A correction function is determined in accordance with the desired amount. The transformation table is edited in accordance with the monotonic correction function.

    摘要: A color printing process, printing a color image in which out-of-gamut original colors are present. For each pixel defined by an original color which is determined to be out of gamut, a gamut remapping process is applied to map each pixel to a color which is within a printer gamut, remapping said pixels to colors within an output printer gamut. For a given set of gamut remapped pixels, gamut remapped pixel colors are compared with said original pixel colors, to derive a comparison metric. Using the comparison metric, a corrected set of gamut remapped colors is generated. The comparison metric may be subjected to an adaptive filtering process, which strengthens the comparison metric in high frequency image regions to increase its impact on the gamut remapped colors, and weakens the comparison metric in low frequency areas, to weaken its impact on the gamut remapped colors.

    摘要: In a hi-fi color printing system, an inverted halftone screen is provided having the same angle and frequency as a halftone screen for an opposing color. The dots of the inverse halftone screen are configured to be located midway between the centers of the dots of the half-tone screen. The halftone screen and inverted halftone screen are used in the printing process to extend the gamut of colors within a printing system, render improved neutral colors, and provide an improved transition through neutral regions of color space. The present invention allows for additional printing of multiple colors without the need for increasing the number of screens used in the image processing system.

    摘要: The present invention is a method for the color correction of digital images that have been compressed. In a preferred embodiment, aspects of the color correction are carried out on the compressed image data to improve computational efficiency. One of a number of alternative methods is employed to accomplish the color correction on lossy or losslessly compressed images. The color transformation process accomplishes color correction on compressed image data in conjunction with compression or decompression operations. A second, simplified phase of the color correction may be applied subsequently to the decompressed image data in certain embodiments. Accordingly, the technique has application to any number of color imaging systems, including digital printers and copiers where there is a necessity to color correct compressed digital images

    摘要: The apparatus and method of the present invention quickly determines the presence of contours in a digital color image by determining the busy and the non-busy (smooth) regions of the original digital color image and determining the luminance variations in the smooth regions of the original digital color image and in a quantized version of the original digital color image. The difference between the luminance variations is compared against a selected threshold value, which if exceeded causes a mark to be associated with the pixel under consideration. For each pixel of the quantized digital color image that is associated with the mark or has a mark associated with a neighboring pixel in a window around the pixel of interest the color of the pixel is selected to minimize and or remove the contour.

    摘要: A method of color transformation is based on non-separable tiling of a color transformation lookup table. Non-separable tiling allows the lookup table to have fine granularity where it is needed or desired and coarse granularity where it can be tolerated. Therefore, non-separable tiling of the lookup table provides improved transformation quality for a given lookup table size. The non-separable tiles are enumerated. An appropriate tile is selected for use in a color transformation by finding an intersection between lists of tiles associated with each value that comprises a particular pixel. In one embodiment, a tile or transformation rule is associated with bit position in a bit vector. Any particular parameter value may be associated with one or more tiles or transformation rules. Therefore, a particular bit vector associated with a particular parameter value may have a plurality of set bits.
