Several techniques for the computation of gamut boundaries have been presented in the past. In this paper we take an in-depth look at some of the gamut boundary descriptors used when performing today’s gamut mapping algorithms. We present a method for evaluating the mismatch introduced when using a descriptor to approximate the boundary of a device gamut. First, a visually verified reference ga...

In this paper we investigate the relationship between matrixing methods, the number of filters adopted and the size of the color gamut of a digital camera. The color gamut is estimated using a method based on the inversion of the processing pipeline of the imaging device. Different matrixing methods are considered, including an original method developed by the authors. For the selection of a hy...

Gamut volume computations in perceptual spaces are useful for optimizing designs of color displays. We develop a useful representation of the gamut of an additive display that facilitates efficient numerical computation of the gamut volume. For three primary systems, our representation coincides with the obvious representation of a three-primary additive gamut, while for multiprimary systems, t...

This paper presents a comparative evaluation of liquid-crystal display (LCDs) and cathode-ray tube (CRT) displays from a color-rendition and color-calibration perspective. Common display calibration models and assumptions are reviewed and their applicability to LCDs and CRTs is evaluated through an experimental study. The displays are compared with respect to the color-calibration accuracy, eas...

Robust watermarking with oblivious detection is essential to practical copyright protection of digital images. Effective exploitation of the characteristics of human visual perception to color stimuli helps to develop the watermarking scheme that fills the requirement. In this paper, an oblivious watermarking scheme that embeds color watermarks in color images is proposed. Through color gamut a...

We present a novel, computationally efficient, iterative, spatial gamut mapping algorithm. The proposed algorithm offers a compromise between the colorimetrically optimal gamut clipping and the most successful spatial methods. This is achieved by the iterative nature of the method. At iteration level zero, the result is identical to gamut clipping. The more we iterate the more we approach an op...

Human vision is quantified through the use of standardized clinical vision measurements. These measurements typically include visual acuity (near and far), contrast sensitivity, color vision, stereopsis (a.k.a. stereo acuity), and visual field periphery. Simulator visual system performance is specified in terms such as brightness, contrast, color depth, color gamut, gamma, resolution, and field...
