Color Gamut Mapping

Gamut mapping algorithms, implemented by color management systems,are an integral part of the color reproduction process. Byadjusting the colors with appropriate algorithms, gamut mappingenables original colors to 'fit' inside differentlyshaped color gamuts and authentically transfers images across arange of media.
This book illustrates the range of possible gamut mappingstrategies for cross-media color reproduction, evaluates theperformance of various options and advises on designing new,improved solutions. Starting with overviews of color science,reproduction and management, the text includes:
* a detailed survey of 90+ gamut mapping algorithms coveringcolor-by-color reduction and expansion, spatial reduction, spectralreduction and gamut mapping for niche applications;
* a step-by-step example of a color's journey from originalto reproduction, via a digital workflow;
* a detailed analysis of color gamut computation, including acomparison of alternative techniques and an illustration of thegamuts of salient color sets and media;
* a presentation of both measurement-based and psychovisualevaluation of individual color reproductions;
* an overview of alternative approaches to gamut mapping proposedby the ISO and the CIE including an analysis of the building blocksof gamut mapping algorithms and the factors affecting theirperformance.
Color Gamut Mapping is a comprehensive resource forpracticing color and imaging engineers, scientists and researchersworking in the development of imaging devices, software andsolutions. It is also a valuable reference for students ofcolor and imaging science, as well as photographers, graphicdesigners and artists.
