Tone mapping algorithms offer sophisticated methods for mapping a real-world luminance range to the luminance range of the output medium but they often cause changes in color appearance. In this work we conduct a series of subjective appearance matching experiments to measure the change in image colorfulness after contrast compression and enhancement. The results indicate that the relation betw...

Color is a vivid factor among map visual variables. Map color has information value and aesthetic value. Because of the complexity of color design, color using becomes one of the most interesting and challenging aspects of cartography. In thematic map designing, basic tone of color is firstly taken into account, which is the essence attribute of color. This study is mainly about the design of b...

Many High-Dynamic-Range (HDR) rendering techniques have been developed. Of these, the image color appearance model, iCAM, is a typical HDR image rendering algorithm. HDR rendering methods normally require a tone compression process and include many color space transformations from the RGB signal of an input image to the RGB signal of output devices for the realistic depiction of a captured imag...

High dynamic range images require tone reproduction to match the range of values to the capabilities of the display. For computational reasons as well as absence of fully calibrated imagery, rudimentary color reproduction is often added as a postprocessing step rather than integrated into the tone reproduction algorithm. However, in the general case this currently requires manual parameter tuni...

In this work we detail a method that leverages the two color heads of recent low-end fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printers to produce continuous tone imagery. The challenge behind producing such two-tone imagery is how to finely interleave the two colors while minimizing the switching between print heads, making each color printed span as long and continuous as possible to avoid artifacts...

The iCAM06 has been used as an image appearance model for HDR image rendering. iCAM06 goes through the color space conversions of the several steps to present HDR images. The dynamic range of a HDR image needs to be mapped onto the range of output devices, which is called the tone mapping. However, tone compression process of iCAM06 causes white point shift and color distortion because of color...

Eleven tone-mapping operators intended for video processing are analyzed and evaluated with camera-captured and computer-generated high-dynamic-range content. After optimizing the parameters of the operators in a formal experiment, we inspect and rate the artifacts (flickering, ghosting, temporal color consistency) and color rendition problems (brightness, contrast and color saturation) they pr...

A novel color rendering algorithm for printing images with flesh tone content is addressed in this paper. Instead of rendering the whole image with one Color Rendering Dictionary (CRD), two CRDs, a global CRD and a flesh tone CRD are employed to correct the image adaptively. First, the optimal CRD for flesh-tone is designed by densely sampling, in color space, the flesh tone region and selectin...
