Evaluating Gamut Coverage Metrics for ICC Color Profiles
نویسندگان
چکیده
The color handling characteristics of computer monitors and other display devices can significantly alter the way an image is perceived by the human eye. Modern cameras and software applications can create vibrant color scenes, and can specify the color range (or gamut) of the scene with an embedded ICC profile [1]. During presentation, differences in the color gamut of the image and the display device require color management to help preserve the color fidelity of the image when shown on different displays. Measurements of the color characteristics of display devices is thus a topic of interest. This paper evaluates the ability of gamut measures, including those commonly used in industry, to classify display gamuts using a user-contributed dataset of ICC display color profiles, and recommends the use of relative metrics for gamut comparison tasks.

Using Image Quality Metrics to Evaluate an ICC Printer Profile
The increased interest in color management has resulted in more options for the user to choose between for their color management needs. Evaluating the quality of each of these color management packages is a challenging and time-consuming task. We propose an evaluation using image quality metrics to assess the quality of a printer profile. This will determine the best solution for a given set o...
متن کاملPrinter model inversion by constrained optimization
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 correspondin...
متن کاملEvaluating the Use of the Perceptual Reference Medium Gamut in ICC PrintingWorkflows
The International Color Consortium (ICC) specifies a standard profile format and associated color management architecture. In the version 4 of its specifications, it adopted a Perceptual Reference Medium and an associated gamut (PRMG) for perceptual workflows. The goals of this change were improved interoperability and more pleasing results. In this paper we start evaluating the effect of using...
متن کاملConversion Between CMYK Spaces Preserving Black Separation
This paper describes a method for developing a transform between two device CMYK spaces in a way that preserves information about the black separation. An important application of such a transform exists in desktop color printers for proofing of electronic files prepared for offset printing. Our method uses a novel printer inversion approach based on constrained optimization. An error function ...
متن کاملUnbounded Color Engines
A Color Matching Method (CMM), also called a Color Engine, is a software component that does the color conversion calculations from one device's color space to another. This paper discuses a new working mode for CMMs that allows such software components to operate in a way that is not restricted by the gamut of the device encoding, the gamut of the profile connection space or any intermediate s...
