    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.

    摘要: Method for building color transforms for color imaging devices having concave color gamut regions, including forming a device model that relates device control signals for a color imaging device to corresponding device-independent color values in a device-independent color space; forming a device color gamut representing the set of colors in the device-independent color space that are producible by the color imaging device; and forming a convex color gamut by fitting a convex hull to the device color gamut. The method further includes forming an expanded device model that relates device control signals for the color imaging device to expanded device-independent color values in the device-independent color space, such that the expanded device-independent color values fill the convex color gamut; and building a color transform that relates input device-independent color values to corresponding device control signals for the color imaging device using the expanded device model.

    摘要: In an image enhancement method, a regular enhancement function and an aggressiveness parameter are computed using characteristics of a digital image. A first, relatively slow enhancement algorithm is applied to the digital image using the regular enhancement function, when an aggressiveness parameter is in a predetermined high range. A second, relatively fast enhancement algorithm is applied to the digital image using the regular enhancement function, when an aggressiveness parameter is in a predetermined low range. A modified enhancement function is calculated using characteristics of the digital image and is used with a second, relatively fast enhancement algorithm, when the aggressiveness parameter is in a predetermined medium range.
