Colorimetric Printer Calibration using Modified Sigmoidal Tone-Curve Function

چکیده
This paper proposes a tone-reproduction method that uses a neural network and modified sigmoid function to perceptually compensate the characteristics of an output device. An inkjet printer was used as the output device the characteristics of which were analyzed by colorimetric measurement. The measured device-characteristic data for primary inks were then used to model the I/O characteristics of the device and a modified sigmoid function was exploited as the optimal tone-reproduction curve for the printer. In the actual application of the printing process, the mapping function between the proposed tone-curve and the input signal of the device was constructed as an LUT and then used as a preprocessor. As a result, the proposed algorithm produced a detailed color reproduction in the mid-tone range and enhanced the image contrast in the shadow-tone regions.

G7TM Method for Flexographic Press Calibration
The purpose of this study is to apply the G7 method for calibration on a four-color flexographic press. G7 controls and calibrates a press using colorimetric values rather than tone value increase. Two press runs were completed to calibrate a flexographic press. The first press run provided data for creating a control curve called Neutral Print Density Curve (NPDC) for the press run with a spec...
متن کاملA new colorimetric method for the determination of urea nitrogen in blood with diacetyl monoxime-glucuronolactone-glucosaccharodilactone reagent.
In a previous paper,3) a colorimetric method for the determination of urea nitrogen in blood and urine was presented on the basis of a color reaction of urea with diacetyl monoxime (DAM) in phosphoric acid solution in the presence of D-glucuronolactone (GL), which served to produce a photo-stable color and eliminate the sigmoidal nature of calibration curve observed usually in the DAM method.4)...

This paper proposes a smartphone-based colorimetric pH detection method using a color adaptation algorithm for point-of-care applications. Although a smartphone camera can be utilized to measure the color information of colorimetric sensors, ambient light changes and unknown built-in automatic image correction operations make it difficult to obtain stable color information. This paper utilizes ...
متن کاملTwo approaches in scanner-printer calibration: colorimetric space-based versus closed-loop
The present paper studies two different table-based approaches for the calibration of electronic imaging systems. The first approach, which is the classical one,uses the device-independent CIE-XYZ colorimetric space as an intermediate standard space. Input and output devices such as scanners, displays and printers are calibrated separately with respect to the objective CIE-XYZ space. The calibr...
متن کاملColor Management for Color Facsimile
We propose a color management system for the color facsimile. It consists of protocols for the colorimetric calibration of the scanner and the printer by establishing the relationships between the device-dependent color coordinates and the device-independent CIELAB color space. The scanner calibration is based on 3rd order polynomial regression techniques. The printer calibration uses 3D triang...
