The problem is twofold: 1) Differences in device representation 2) Differences in Gamut Size and Shape Gamut Mapping Gamut Mapping - Example In order to transfer color information between a source device and a destination device, one must define a mapping between the source Gamut to destination the destination Gamut. This mapping is called Gamut Mapping. Monitor Gamut Printer Gamut Gamut Mapping maps RGB = (12, 120, 25) on Monitor A to RGB = (22, 255, 31) on monitor B. This mapping actually maps XYZ representation of RGB = (12, 120, 25) of Monitor A to the most “similar” XYZ representation reproducible by Monitor B. Gamut Mapping - Example Gamut Mapping brightness most accurate (brightness) most accurate (hue) Destination Source to to/from Perceptual Perceptual Hue angle error: printer display max saturated XYZ max saturated green = 510nm green = 540nm Inter- Perceptual White Hue angle Source Gamut Dest Gamut Gamut Mapping Gamut Mapping MacDonald & Morovic (1995) Marcu & Abe (1996) Laihanen (1987) Ito & Katoh (1995) Gamut Mapping Gamut Mapping Assume mapping with no Hue angle error: 3D Mapping Where do these colors map to? 2 Basic Approaches: Clipping Compression Tetrahedral Mapping Gamut Mapping Gamut mapping - Side Effects Mapping Red Hue only Clipping Compression Original Clipping - Map all the values that are in the source Gamut but outside the destination Gamut onto the closest colors on the boundary of the destination Gamut.

Absolute Colorimetric (Match/Preserve Identical Colors) Simple profiling uses test swatches and comparison Colors in-gamut will look the same even if destination is visual. white is not the same (e.g. tinted paper). Preserves white point i.e. compensates for color adaptation. Not reversible. Relative Colorimetric (Proof / Preserve Identical Color and White Point) Maps color in-gamut but clips out-of-gamut colors to closest color in destination gamut. Does not preserve white point in destination. Not reversible. Perceptual, (Picture / Maintain Full Gamut) Scales full source gamut into destination gamut. Affects all colors but gradients are smooth (no plugging-up). Is reversible. Saturation (Graphic/Preserve Saturation) Maps the saturated primary colors in the source to saturated Accurate profiling requires colorimetric measurements primary colors in the destination, neglecting differences in hue, of display set to various frame buffer values. saturation, or lightness. Not reversible. For graphic images. Rendering Intents - Absolute Colorimetric Rendering Intents - Absolute Colorimetric Absolute colorimetric: 1. Reproduces in-gamut colors exactly. 2. Clips out-of gamut colors to the nearest reproducible hue sacrificing saturation and possibly lightness. 3. Mostly use for proofing ( source > destination) Clipping Rendering Intents - Absolute Colorimetric Rendering Intents - Absolute Colorimetric Problems 1 : Problem 2 : Our eyes are much better in evaluating color Our eyes adapt to different “colors” of white – relationships then they are evaluating absolute chromatic adaptation. Our eyes judge colors in colors. In Absolute Colorimetric rendering, the relation to white. relationship between the in-gamut and out-gamut colors is affected. (Clipping) This RI maintains the source white exactly. If destination Device has a different white point then a color cast will be seen in the output. Original Clipping Example: When printing there is often a visible paper-white border. Since white areas in an image will almost always have some color tint, an absolute colorimetric print will have a color cast because our eyes adapt to the paper-white surround and not the image white.

  • The Art of Digital Black & White by Jeff Schewe There's Just Something
    The Art of Digital Black & White By Jeff Schewe There’s just something magical about watching an image develop on a piece of photo paper in the developer tray…to see the paper go from being just a blank white piece of paper to becoming a photograph is what many photographers think of when they think of Black & White photography. That process of watching the image develop is what got me hooked on photography over 30 years ago and Black & White is where my heart really lives even though I’ve done more color work professionally. I used to have the brown stains on my fingers like any good darkroom tech, but commercially, I turned toward color photography. Later, when going digital, I basically gave up being able to ever achieve what used to be commonplace from the darkroom–until just recently. At about the same time Kodak announced it was going to stop making Black & White photo paper, Epson announced their new line of digital ink jet printers and a new ink, Ultrachrome K3 (3 Blacks- hence the K3), that has given me hope of returning to darkroom quality prints but with a digital printer instead of working in a smelly darkroom environment. Combine the new printers with the power of digital image processing in Adobe Photoshop and the capabilities of recent digital cameras and I think you’ll see a strong trend towards photographers going digital to get the best Black & White prints possible. Making the optimal Black & White print digitally is not simply a click of the shutter and push button printing.

The assumption under- lying this algorithm is that the highest values of R, G, B observed in the image must correspond to white, and the lowest values to obscurity. The algorithm simply stretches, as much as it can, the values of the three channels Red, Green, Blue (R, G, B), so that they occupy the maximal possible range [0, 255] by applying an affine transform ax+b to each channel. Since many images contain a few aberrant pixels that already occupy the 0 and 255 values, the proposed method saturates a small percentage of the pixels with the highest values to 255 and a small percentage of the pixels with the lowest values to 0, before applying the affine transform.

  • Color Balancing
    Color Balancing Advanced Imaging Conference Ron Wodaski M51 Color: Truth or Fiction? • Color is based on the spectrum • The spectrum is nearly continuous – there are millions of colors out there • We use three color filters • It is impossible to accurately represent colors with just three filters • But… The Eye as Detector • The eye uses three sensors for color: – One for red – One for green – One for blue • Eyes – three colors. CCD imaging – three colors. Is this enough to get True Color? • The eye is just as limited as a CCD detector when it comes to color accuracy. There is often more color available than you expect… Cocoon Nebula The Truth about Color • The color you record with a CCD camera is only an approximation of True Color. • The color you see with your eyes doesn’t necessarily match the color that another person sees. • The color your monitor displays is random unless you use a tool to calibrate it to achieve accurate color. • Ultimately, color is in the eye of the beholder. The Dimensions of Color • Color bias • Color balance • Color noise • Color intensity (saturation) Color Bias • Color bias exists when one or more colors flood the background. • The cause of color bias is unequal black points in the color channels. Example of Color Bias • Bias affects entire image, very visible in background. • Like a false bottom in a container • Image at right: – Way too much green – Too much blue Color Bias: Histogram Reveals All • Multiple peaks in combined histogram • Different black points in each color channel • Lower black point results in stronger bias for that color Color Balance • Always adjust color bias first, then color balance • Learn to distinguish color bias problems from color balance problems • Color imbalance occurs whenever a color is stronger or weaker than the other colors.

  • Improvement of Incomplete Chromatic Adaptation Model for Facial Pattern Images
    Improvement of Incomplete Chromatic Adaptation Model for Facial Pattern Images Francisco Hideki Imai, Norimichi Tsumura, Hideaki Haneishi, and Yoichi Miyake Department of Information and Computer Sciences, Chiba University 1-33 Yayoi-cho, Inage-ku, Chiba-shi, Chiba-ken 263 JAPAN TEL & FAX: +81-43-290-3262 e-mail: [email protected] Abstract We improved the incomplete chromatic adaptation model proposed by Fairchild to reproduce facial pattern images under various illuminants. The coefficients of color balance in Fairchild model were changed to improve the color reproduction. Psychophysical experiments using memory matching technique were performed to select the optimum coefficients of color balance for facial pattern images. The improved model with the optimum coefficients was compared with other color appearance models; von Kries, RLAB, LLAB and colorimetric color reproduction under three illuminants; illuminant A(2837K), Daylight(6047K) and cool white(3957K). As a result, it was shown that the improved model is significant to reproduce facial pattern images than the other models. 1. Introduction Development of cosmetics and their sales promotion requires prediction of skin color images under various illuminants, because appearance of skin color depends on the illuminant in the environment. We have already proposed a colorimetric method to 1 predict skin color images under various illuminants on a CRT display and a hardcopy.1 In this method, the spectral reflectance was estimated based on principal component analysis, and the estimated spectral reflectance of human skin was used for computer simulation of colorimetric color reproduction. One of the most significant factor affecting color appearance is the change of visual color sensitivities corresponding to changes of illumination.

The chromaticity stage is established on the basis of color matching and chromatic aberration stage, namely the third stage of the development of CIE chromaticity. Because the traditional CIE LAB color space hue lacks visual uniformity, chromatic aberration calculation is only suitable for the color difference under specific observation conditions. In order to solve the influence of color adaptation, color contrast and other related color appearance model phenomenon, and accurately predict the morphological parameters of color under different light sources, lighting levels, observation background and media, etc., the color appearance model was proposed and continuously developed, which has important application value for the research on the replication and transmission of cross-media color information. Keywords: Color appearance phenomenon, Color appearance model, Visual characteristics 1. Introduction CIE chroma system defines three elements: illumination body, color source and observer based on color vision experience.
