    Abstract: Techniques for interactively determining/visualizing the color content of a source image and how the corresponding image data is mapped to device colors are described herein. For example, the color content of a digital image can be converted between different color spaces to identify gamut limitations of an output device (e.g., a printing assembly), discover color(s) that cannot be accurately reproduced, etc. Color space conversions enable the transformation of the color content of the digital image from device-specific colorants to a device-independent representation (and vice versa). In some embodiments, these transformations are facilitated using lookup tables that are implemented in graphical processing unit-resident memory.

    Abstract: A device link profile adjustment method of a computer carrying out a process of adjusting a device link table in a device link profile expressing a correspondence relationship between a first coordinate value of a first device-dependent color space and a second coordinate value of a second device-dependent color space, the method including: accepting an adjustment target at an adjustment point, using a coordinate in a profile connection space as a reference; and adjusting the device link table based on the adjustment target and a color conversion table including a device-independent coordinate value of the profile connection space of an original profile used to create the device link table.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: a first correction unit configured to obtain a measurement value of a correction amount based on a detection result by a detection unit, and correct an image forming condition based on the measurement value; a second correction unit configured to obtain a variation value by a prediction calculation at a predetermined timing, obtain a prediction value by accumulating the variation value since the first correction unit performed the correction, and correct the image forming condition based on the prediction value, the variation value being a estimated value of the correction amount; and a determination unit configured to obtain an evaluation value related to a prediction error based on the variation value since the first correction unit performed the correction, and determine, based on the evaluation value, the correction timing by the first correction unit.

    Abstract: Spectral power distribution of an illumination is restored using color information in a region of the specific object in an input image and a pre-specified representative surface reflectance of the specific object. The surface reflectance in the region of the specific object is restored from the color information and the spectral power distribution of the illumination. The surface reflectance is corrected using three or more pre-specified reference surface reflectances of the specific object. The color in the region of the specific object is calculated from the spectral power distribution of the illumination and the corrected surface reflectance.
