    摘要: Systems and methods for limiting total colorant in a color rendering system are disclosed. Implementation of the present invention provides for transformation of a specified colorant in which the sum of the colorant components exceeds a total area coverage (TAC) limit to create a second or resultant colorant in which the sum of the colorant components is within the limit. Using a bijective transformation, colorant sampling and other manipulations can be performed using a nominal hypercube space and the results can be compressed from the nominal space back to the actual colorant-limited space, simplifying manipulation of the colorant-limited polytope space. The unlimited colorant hypercube may be divided into simplexes. For each simplex, intersection points may be found between the TAC limit and the edges of the simplex. A barycentric interpolation technique may then be used to map the unlimited simplex onto a corresponding simplex within the colorant-limited polytope.

    摘要: A method for background adjustment. A background lightness level in an original image is estimated. Pixels are then converted to a luminance-chrominance color space. Pixels have lightness levels equal to the background lightness level are mapped to a value corresponding to white as background pixels. Chroma values for the background pixels are compared to a threshold and adjusted as needed, either by adjusting the lightness value or by removing the chrominance values. The luminance-chrominance data is then converted to output space.

    摘要: A method is provided for gamut clipping with preprocessing enabled as software instructions stored in a computer-readable medium and executable by a processor. The instructions provide a color in a color space defined by at least three attributes. If the color lies outside a gamut boundary in the first color space, a distance is measured from the color to the gamut boundary. In response to the measured distance, a weight is calculated for an attribute of the color. Then, it is determined if the attribute of the color is to be shifted. If so, an attribute shift amount is derived. The attribute shift amount of the color is modified by applying the weighting. The attribute of the first color is shifted by the weighted attribute shift amount, creating a post-processed color. The post-processed color is then clipped.
