A method of calibrating a four color printer capable of printing three colors and black, includes the steps of: forming a minimum black data structure representing a minimum black strategy; forming a maximum black data structure representing a maximum black strategy; for each printable black level, forming a fixed black data structure; and for a specific output color value, finding the minimum and maximum black levels using the minimum and maximum black data structures, determining a desired black level between the minimum and maximum black levels according to a defined black strategy, and determining the three printing color levels from the fixed black data structure corresponding to the desired black level.

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.

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.

A method for automatically identifying persons in digital media assets associated with a database of individual user accounts, comprising: providing access to a database of individual user accounts, wherein the database includes connections between the individual user accounts; receiving a digital media asset associated with a first individual user account; analyzing the received digital media asset to detect an unidentified person; designating collections of digital media assets associated with the first individual user account and other connected individual user accounts; training person identifiers for the previously identified persons by analyzing digital media assets containing the previously identified persons; using a processor to identify the detected unidentified person using the trained person identifiers; and associating metadata providing an indication of the one or more identified persons with the received digital media asset.
摘要:
A method for multi-toning an input digital image having input pixels with two or more color channels to form an output digital image having modified output levels. The method includes determining modified output levels using a combined error signal formed from intermediate error signals for each color channel together with an error signal offset value, and adjusting the input levels for the nearby pixels responsive to weighted error signals.

A digital image capture device for use in capturing underwater digital images, comprising: a watertight housing; an image sensor for capturing a digital image; an optical system for imaging a scene onto the image sensor; a means for setting the digital image capture device to operate in an underwater photography mode or a normal photography mode; and a processor. The processor performs the steps of: capturing a digital image of a scene using the image sensor; controlling a color reproduction of the captured digital image responsive to whether the digital image capture device is operating in an underwater photography mode or a normal photography mode; and storing the captured digital image in a processor accessible memory.

A method for modifying an input digital image having three color channels, to form a modified digital image suitable for use by an inkjet printer having reduced ink bleed artifacts comprising computing a transformed digital image containing at least a black color channel and a color dependent scale factor channel, computing a filtered black color channel using a convolution operation, and forming the modified digital image in response to the corresponding pixel values of the color dependent scale factor channel and the filtered black color channel, so that when the modified digital image is used to produce a printed image on an inkjet printer there are reduced ink bleed artifacts.
