Abstract:
Systems and methods for providing consistent chromatic adaptation to a workflow comprising a number of International Color Consortium (ICC) profiles is provided. In accordance with an exemplary method of the present invention, the profiles within the workflow that require chromatic adaptation are identified. A control profile, whose chromatic adaptation method will be applied to the other profiles identified as requiring chromatic adaptation, is also identified. The chromatic adaptation method of the control profile is determined. The color data of the each profile identified as requiring chromatic adaptation is then converted using the chromatic adaptation method of the control profile such that all profiles requiring chromatic adaptation have been chromatically adapted using the same method.
Abstract:
A software design process includes three elements—an object/component driven element, a situation/scenario driven element, and an arbitrator/communicator element that is logically interposed and serves as an intermediary between the object/component driven and the situation/scenario driven elements. Through an iterative communication process overseen by the arbitrator/communicator, software design can take place and be measured against a metric. The communication process overseen and implemented by the arbitrator/communicator can allow ideas and developments provided by one element to be translated into a format that the other element understands. Once the metric has been achieved, the design process can be terminated.
Abstract:
Various embodiments provide for the ability to convert back and forth between a RAW image file and a processed image file by associating metadata with the processed image file. The metadata is useable to effect conversion between and amongst image files. In addition, in at least some embodiments, a processing pipeline incorporates functions to access proprietary extensions to convert back and forth between RAW image files and processed image files using the associated metadata.
Abstract:
An electronic document has a plurality of parts including a root relationship part, a payload part, and a glossary part. The root relationship part identifies the various parts of the electronic document. The payload part stores data for the electronic document including one or more links to relationship entries of the glossary part. The glossary part stores relationship entries, the relationship entries identifying locations of resources for the one or more links.
Abstract:
A system and method for image acquisition enables selective automated application of color management to color image data generated by an image-capturing device by the device driver for the device. In the image acquisition system, each image-capturing device has properties or operation parameters that can be set to control the operation of the device. During an image acquisition operation, color image data generated by the image-capturing device are transmitted to the device driver. If the operation parameters of the device are set to indicate that color management is to be performed, the device driver calls color management functions provided by the operating system to perform the desired color operation, such as a color space conversion, on the received color image data. The processed color image data are then sent to the image-processing application for further processing or editing.
Abstract:
A method and system for embedding a device profile into a document and extracting a device profile from a document in a color management system. A tagged-element device profile allows for selective access to the device profile. The method of embedding a device profile into a document include allocating memory for a buffer, sending a ready call, transferring the device profile or portions of the device profile into the buffer and writing the same in the document, and lastly, sending a completed call. The method of extracting a device profile from a document includes allocating memory for a buffer, sending a ready call, reading the device profile or portions of the device profile from the document into the buffer and transferring the same to a file, and finally, sending a completed call.
