    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.

    摘要: A digital halftone image is produced by providing a binary bit image pattern having a minimum visual noise for each density level in the image, and the binary bit patterns being correlated in a manner that reduces visual noise resulting from transitions between patterns. The patterns are addressed by pixel density and x,y location to produce a halftone image. The patterns are generated by employing a stochastic minimization technique with a constraint to insure correlation between patterns.

    摘要: A digital halftone image is produced by providing a binary bit image pattern having a minimum visual noise for each density level in an image. The patterns are produced by employing a stochastic combinatorial minimization technique and a human visual system modulation transfer function (MTF) weighting function to generate a halftone pattern for each density level of the multi-level digital image signal. A halftone image is produced by modularly addressing these patterns with each pixel value in the image.

    摘要: A convex interpolation apparatus and method to map source color signals in a n-dimensional color space to target color signals in a m-dimensional color space includes finding a set of sample signals in the source color space whose convex hull encloses the given signal; determining the coefficients needed to express the given signal as a convex combination of the set of sample signals; and interpolating the source signal to obtain a target signal in the target color space by using the coefficients and the sample signals is the target color space that correspond to the sample signals selected in the source color space. The sample signals in both color spaces can be lattice points or non-lattice points. A method and apparatus are also provided which can not only determine if a point is enclosed by a convex hull of a set of points in a n-dimensional space, but also simultaneously derive the coefficients needed to express the given point as a convex combination of the set of points.

    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: Each member of a set of transform representative data structures (such as look-up tables (LUTs), each representing an N TO M-dimensional transform), is stored in compressed form in a storage device included in, or which is otherwise accessible to, an image processing device or system. Each stored transform representative data structure may then, according to one embodiment of the invention, be selectively attached to image data being processed by the image processing device or system. According to a further aspect of the invention, image data, having compressed transform representative data attached thereto, may be processed utilizing methods and apparatus operative to detach, decompress and apply the transform represented by the decompressed transform representative data, to a decompressed version of the image data. The result of the aforementioned process is for image data to be transformed according to a transform specified by information previously attached to the image data.
