Gamut Mapping for Pictorial Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
A psychophysical evaluation was performed to test the quality of several color gamut mapping algorithms. The task was to determine which mapping strategy produced the best matches to the original image. Observer preference was not considered. The algorithms consisted of both devicedependent and image-dependent mappings. Three types of lightness scaling functions (linear compression, chroma weighted linear compression, and imagedependent sigmoidal compression) and four types of chromatic mapping functions were tested (linear compression, knee-point compression, ÒsigmoidlikeÓ compression, and clipping). The source and destination devices considered were a monitor and a plain-paper inkjet printer respectively. The results showed that, for all of the images tested, the algorithms that used image-dependent sigmoidal lightness remapping functions produced superior matches to those that utilized linear lightness scaling. In addition, the results support using chromatic compression functions that were closely related to chromatic clipping functions.

A New Method for Color Gamut Mapping by Genetic Algorithm
To reproduce an image, it is necessary to map out of gamut colors of the image to destination gamut. It is clear that the best color gamut mapping introduces the perceptually closest image to the original one. In this study, a new color gamut mapping is purposed by the aid of Genetic Algorithm (GA). The color difference between the original and mapped images based on S-LAB formula was chosen as...
متن کاملDevelopment and Evaluation of Six Gamut-Mapping Algorithms for Pictorial Images
Six techniques for mapping the colors of an image into the gamut of printable colors were compared. Six pictorial scenes were used in two psychophysical experiments, one to test accurate reproduction and one to test preferred reproduction. A new contrast-enhancing algorithm was found to give more favorable reproductions than several gamut-mapping techniques described in the literature. This alg...
متن کاملImage lightness rescaling using sigmoidal contrast enhancement functions
In color gamut mapping of pictorial images, the lightness rendition of the mapped images plays a major role in the quality of the final image. For color gamut mapping tasks, where the goal is to produce a match to the original scene, it is important to maintain the perceived lightness contrast of the original image. Typical lightness remapping functions such as linear compression, soft compress...
متن کاملEvaluation of Colour Fidelity for Reproductions of Fine Art Paintings
This paper describes the results of experiments carried out at the National Gallery in London, comparing original paintings with printed colour reproductions made by processing digital images captured by a high resolution digital camera. A pairwise comparison method was used for three paintings under several different illumination conditions with a panel of observers. The results indicate that ...
متن کاملPsychophysical evaluation of gamut mapping techniques using simple rendered images and artificial gamut boundaries
Using a paired comparison paradigm, various gamut mapping algorithms were evaluated using simple rendered images and artificial gamut boundaries. The test images consisted of simple rendered spheres floating in front of a gray background. Using CIELAB as our device-independent color space, cut-off values for lightness and chroma, based on the statistics of the images, were chosen to reduce the ...
