چکیده

Dr. Stephen Huffman [email protected] [Editor’s note: This paper describes a series of maps produced by Dr. Huffman using a pre-release version of GMI’s World Language Mapping System (WLMS) GIS data set. Most of these maps have been adjusted to use the current released version of the WLMS along with GMI’s Seamless Digital Chart of the World. Images of the maps, Portable Document File (PDF) files of the maps suitable for large-format printing, and Dr. Huffman’s data table and ArcGIS project files, are available in Dr. Huffman’s user area on the World Language Mapping System website at http://www.gmi.org/wlms/users/huffman.]

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...
