Color Gamut Mapping / Wiley-IS&T Series in Imaging Science and Technology (PDF)

Gamut mapping algorithms, implemented by color management systems,
are an integral part of the color reproduction process. By
adjusting the colors with appropriate algorithms, gamut mapping
enables original colors to 'fit' inside differently
shaped color gamuts and authentically transfers images across a
range of media.

This book illustrates the range of possible gamut mapping
strategies for cross-media color reproduction, evaluates the
performance 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 covering
color-by-color reduction and expansion, spatial reduction, spectral
reduction and gamut mapping for niche applications;

* a step-by-step example of a color's journey from original
to reproduction, via a digital workflow;

* a detailed analysis of color gamut computation, including a
comparison of alternative techniques and an illustration of the
gamuts of salient color sets and media;

* a presentation of both measurement-based and psychovisual
evaluation of individual color reproductions;

* an overview of alternative approaches to gamut mapping proposed
by the ISO and the CIE including an analysis of the building blocks
of gamut mapping algorithms and the factors affecting their
performance.

Color Gamut Mapping is a comprehensive resource for
practicing color and imaging engineers, scientists and researchers
working in the development of imaging devices, software and
solutions. It is also a valuable reference for students of
color and imaging science, as well as photographers, graphic
designers and artists.
