چکیده
Hung-Shing Chen Shih-Han Chen Abstract — Owing to the fast developments of computer networks and color imaging technologies, there is a tendency towards remote proofing in the printing or textile industries. More cases such as cross-display color matching will occur in the future information society. The problems of color mismatching we usually find in cross-display devices have been widely discussed today. In this paper, to achieve equivalent color matching between a sRGB monitor and an Adobe RGB monitor, the spatial gamut mapping algorithm (SGMA), which introduces sigmoidal tone mapping, multi-mapping paths, and unsharp mask (USM) operation into a sRGB color-management system, is proposed. According to the designs of USM locations, this proposed SGMA can be further developed into pre-USM, postUSM, and double-USM types. Besides, two critical image characteristics, edge map and color histogram, are investigated to establish the relationship between image content and SGMA. The psychophysical experimental results show that double-USM SGMA obtains better color matching than the other spatial types.

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 کاملA Multi-Resolution, Full-Colour Spatial Gamut Mapping Algorithm
A multi–resolution, full–colour spatial gamut mapping algorithm (GMA) is proposed in this paper. Its aim is to maintain as much of an original image’s overall, and in particular spatial, information as possible within the limits of a reproduction medium’s gamut. First, the original image is decomposed into different spatial frequency bands. Second, lightness compression and initial gamut mappin...
متن کاملColor image enhancement technique using gamut mapping based on color space division
This paper proposes a gamut mapping algorithm based on color space division for color reproduction of cross media. As each color device has a limited range of producible colors, the reproduced colors on a destination device are different from those of the original device. In order to reduce the color difference between those devices, the proposed method divides the whole gamut into parabolic sh...
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 کاملPredicting the performance of a spatial gamut mapping algorithm
Gamut mapping algorithms are currently being developed to take advantage of the spatial information in an image to improve the utilization of the destination gamut. These algorithms try to preserve the spatial information between neighboring pixels in the image, such as edges and gradients, without sacrificing global contrast. Experiments have shown that such algorithms can result in significan...
