Printer model inversion by constrained optimization
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a novel method for finding colorant amounts for which a printer will produce a requested color appearance based on constrained optimization. An error function defines the gamut mapping method and black replacement method. The constraints limit the feasible solution region to the device gamut and prevent exceeding the maximum total area coverage. Colorant values corresponding to in-gamut colors are found with precision limited only by the accuracy of the device model. Out-of-gamut colors are mapped to colors within the boundary of the device gamut. This general approach, used in conjunction with different types of color difference equations, can perform a wide range of out-of-gamut mappings such as chroma clipping or for finding colors on gamut boundary having specified properties. We present an application of this method to the creation of PostScript color rendering dictionaries and ICC profiles.

Inversion of Gravity Data by Constrained Nonlinear Optimization based on nonlinear Programming Techniques for Mapping Bedrock Topography
A constrained nonlinear optimization method based on nonlinear programming techniques has been applied to map geometry of bedrock of sedimentary basins by inversion of gravity anomaly data. In the inversion, the applying model is a 2-D model that is composed of a set of juxtaposed prisms whose lower depths have been considered as unknown model parameters. The applied inversion method is a nonli...

متن کاملImproved depth imaging by constrained full-waveform inversion
We propose a formulation of full-wavefield inversion (FWI) as a constrained optimization problem, and describe a computationally efficient technique for solving constrained full-wavefield inversion (CFWI). The technique is based on using a total-variation regularization method, with the regularization weighted in favor of constraining deeper subsurface model sections. The method helps to promot...
متن کاملAn innovative method for spectral-based printer characterization
The paper presents an innovative approach to the spectral-based characterization of ink-jet color printers. Our objective was to design a color separation procedure based on a spectral model of the printer, managed here as an RGB device. The printer was a four-ink device, and we assumed that the driver always replaced the black completely when converting from RGB to CMYK amounts of ink. The col...
متن کاملMeasurement of printer parameters for model-based halftoning
We present a new approach for estimating printer model parameters that can be applied to a wide variety of laser printers. Recently developed "model-based" digital halftoning techniques depend on accurate printer models to produce high quality images using standard laser printers (typically 300 dpi). Since printer characteristics vary considerably, e.g. write-black vs. write-white laser printer...
