    摘要: A method for reconstructing an extended color gamut digital image from a limited color gamut digital image includes transforming the limited color gamut digital image in the particular limited color gamut color space to a reference color space forming a limited color gamut digital image in a reference color space; providing a modified inverse color adjustment function which, when such function operates on the limited color gamut digital image in the reference color space, produces the reconstructed extended color gamut digital image having reduced highlight color saturation for highlight color values when compared with corresponding color values of the initial extended color gamut image; and operating on the limited color gamut digital image in the reference color space with the modified inverse color adjustment function to form the reconstructed extended color gamut digital image having reduced levels of color contouring and quantization artifacts.

    摘要: A method for correcting the color balance of an input digital color image in an input color space captured under a capture illuminant to produce a balanced digital color image includes transforming the input digital color image to a balancing color space, wherein the balancing color space has three color channels corresponding to three color space primaries, the color space primaries being chosen so that minimal color errors can be produced when correcting the color balance for a set of one or more capture illuminants relative to aim colors that would be produced if the digital color image were captured under reference conditions; and correcting the color balance of the input digital color image in the balancing color space to produce a balanced digital color image having minimal color errors relative to aim colors that would be produced if the digital color image were captured under reference conditions.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for generating a halftone image for a multi-level output device employing a dither matrix generated by minimizing a visual cost function. The dither matrix is addressed by the least significant bits of a pixel address and the value supplied by the dither matrix is added to the pixel value. The resulting sum is quantized in a quantizer to produce the multi-level halftone value.

    摘要: This invention provides a method for mapping an input color space to an output color space in such a way that the color reproduction characteristics of the saturated colors can be adjusted in a custom manner, while maintaining the desired tone reproduction on the neutral axis. This is accomplished by defining independently a tone transformation and a transformation for a plurality of highly saturated colors. A transformation is formed for the remaining color values having the specified transforms for the neutral and saturated colors as boundary values. In the preferred embodiment multi-dimensional look-up tables are used to implement the transform.

    摘要: This invention minimizes the color errors associated with performing conversion and/or correction of color digital image data using multi-dimensional look-up tables of a limited size. By distributing the errors across the color gamut it is possible to reduce the average color error as well as the maximum color errors associated with linear or conventional linear or nonlinear, e.g. cube-root or logarithmic, remapping schemes. The resulting advantage will be color images with greatly reduced artifacts.
