Color correction describes the transformation process between device RGB values and CIEXYZ resp. CIELab values. In every metamer color reproduction system this is the first color transformation after image acquisition. In general, this mapping is not unique since the spectral sensitivities of most of the devices do not satisfy the Luther condition and because the acquisition and viewing light s...

Tone reproduction is now widely used in the field of HDR imaging and image enhancement, especially to provide the proper luminance, so that captured images give the same sensation as the real scene. As a result, a high contrast and naturalness of colors can be obtained. In recent studies on tone reproduction with the objective of reproducing natural looking colors in digital images, an integrat...

In the world of digital image and video processing, encoding and/or compression errors are often assessed in terms of the signal dimensions (e.g., RGB or YCBCR) using quantities such as RMS deviation or signal-to-noise ratio with little or no regard for the radiometric linearity of the quantities or the ultimate appearance to observers. When visual models are utilized it is usually with the aim...

We propose a color management system for the color facsimile. It consists of protocols for the colorimetric calibration of the scanner and the printer by establishing the relationships between the device-dependent color coordinates and the device-independent CIELAB color space. The scanner calibration is based on 3rd order polynomial regression techniques. The printer calibration uses 3D triang...

The most used full reference image quality assessments are error-based methods. Thus, these measures are performed by pixel based difference metrics like Delta E ( E), MSE, PSNR, etc. Therefore, a local fidelity of the color is defined. However, these metrics does not correlate well with the perceived image quality. Indeed, they omit the properties of the HVS. Thus, they cannot be a reliable pr...
