Optimal Colorant Design for Spectral Colour Reproduction
نویسندگان
چکیده
The gamut of a colour space is defined by a number of extreme points. The best inks to achieve an accurate spectral reproduction of a given target are those which span the target’s spectral gamut. Using a modified non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) algorithm we derive m colorants and their spectral curves such that they are the extreme points of the targets gamut. Using the spectral Neugebauer printing model where eight colorants are assumed we compare our new method with existing techniques. Comparison with a set of optimal rotated principal vectors as well as the classical NMF clearly shows that the performance of the new method is superior.

Simple Comparison of Spectral Color Reproduction Workflows
In this article we compare two workflows for spectral color reproduction : colorant separation (CS) followed by halftoning by scalar error diffusion (SED) of its resulting multi-colorant channel image and a second workflow by spectral vector error diffusion (sVED). Identical filters are used in both SED and sVED to diffuse the error. Gamut mapping is performed as pre-processing and the reproduc...
متن کاملColour quality of facial prostheses in additive manufacturing
Recent progress in additive manufacturing technology has improved the realistic colour reproduction of 3D facial prostheses with computational optimisation of skin colour profiles. The colour appearance of the prosthetic surface depends on both the spectral characteristics of the surfaces and the scene illumination. Considering everyday environments, the colours of prosthetic surfaces should ap...
متن کاملSpatio-Spectral Gamut Mapping and Separation
Spectral printing aims to achieve an illuminant-invariant match between the original and the reproduction. Due to limited printer spectral gamuts, an errorless spectral reproduction is mostly impossible, and spectral gamut mapping is required to reduce perceptual errors. The recently proposed paramermismatch-based spectral gamut mapping (PMSGM) strategy minimizes such errors. However, due to it...
متن کاملSpectral prediction and dot surface estimation models for halftone prints
We propose a new spectral prediction model as well as new approaches for modeling ink spreading which occurs when printing ink layer superpositions. The spectral prediction model enhances the classical ClapperYule model by taking into account the fact that proportionally more incident light through a given colorant surface is reflected back onto the same colorant surface than onto other coloran...
متن کاملColour Aspects in Photo-quality Ink-jet Printing
The topic of photo-equality in hardcopy technologies has been widely discussed from the beginning of digital printing until today. Photographic quality prints can be made on desk-top printers with little compromises in permanence and performance. The paper compares the status of ink-jet prints in professional and desktop systems with commercial photography. The gamut of typical ink-jet dye and ...
