20110096345 | Print System - Method of determining a color gamut of a predetermined print system, comprising determining ink restrictions of the print system, generating all NP states of the print system, generating a convex hull of area coverages of NPs that do not exceed said ink restrictions, determining which NP states are outside of the convex hull, mapping NP states that are outside of the convex hull onto the convex hull, re-expressing the mapped NP states as area coverages of NPs, and sampling the convex hull in a colorimetrically predetermined way. | 04-28-2011 |
20110096364 | Color Separation Table - Method of setting up a color separation table for a specific print system, comprising finding first NP (Neugebauer Primary) area coverages of a specific print system that correspond to color values, adding second NP area coverages by converting halftone data from at least one pre-determined pair of halftone data and corresponding color value to NP area coverages, and generating a color separation table arranged as input for a halftone process that comprises color values linked to the corresponding first and second NP area coverages. | 04-28-2011 |
20110096365 | Print Interface - Method of generating a CIElab to Neugebauer Primary area coverages interface for a print system, comprising selecting area coverages of Neugebauer Primaries and printing corresponding patches, measuring the CIE XYZ coordinates of the patches, converting the CIE XYZ coordinates to corresponding CIE Lab coordinates, and relating the CIE Lab coordinates to the NPacs. | 04-28-2011 |

20090128869 | SMOOTHED ENTRIES IN A COLOR TRANSFORMATION LOOK-UP TABLE - A color transformation table is constructed in an imaging device. Unsmoothed entries are placed in a table. The unsmoothed entries are replaced by smoothed entries. The smoothed entries are indexed by a color dimensional value for each color dimension in a first color space. Each smoothed entry is a color dimensional value for a color dimension within a second color space. A first unsmoothed entry is replaced with a first smoothed entry, so that the first smoothed entry is a weighted mean of a subset of unsmoothed entries. The subset of unsmoothed entries includes the first unsmoothed entry and other unsmoothed entries that are indexed by the same color dimensional values as the first unsmoothed entry for all but a first color dimension in the first color space. | 05-21-2009 |
20120057781 | METHOD AND SYSTEM TO DETERMINE WHETHER AN IMAGE INCLUDES SPATIAL ADJUSTMENTS - The present disclosure provides a computer-implemented method of identifying spatial image modifications. The method includes receiving a original image and a adjusted image. The method also includes identifying a first subset of pixels comprising pixels in the original image that have a same first color value. The method also includes determining whether a second subset of pixels in the adjusted image all have a same second color value, wherein the second subset of pixels spatially correspond with the first subset of pixels. A spatial adjustment is identified if the second subset of pixels do not all have the same second color value. | 03-08-2012 |
20120057785 | METHOD AND SYSTEM TO MODIFY A COLOR LOOKUP TABLE - The present disclosure provides a computer-implemented method of generating a modified color lookup table (CLUT) based on an original image, a profile connection space (PCS) image, and an adjusted image. The method includes, for each PCS pixel of the PCS image, identifying a subset of CLUT nodes corresponding to the PCS pixel. The method also includes identifying a color shift between an original pixel of the original image and an adjusted pixel of the adjusted image, wherein the original pixel and the adjusted pixel are co-located with the PCS pixel. The identified the color shift is associated with each one of the subset of CLUT nodes. For each CLUT node, a combined color shift is determined based on the color shifts associated with the CLUT node. A modified CLUT can be generated based on the combined color shifts computed for each of the CLUT nodes. | 03-08-2012 |

20130100157 | METHOD AND SYSTEM TO MODIFY A COLOR LOOKUP TABLE - Modifying a color lookup table includes receiving a first image, a first color lookup table (CLUT) indexed in a first image color space, and a second CLUT indexed in a colorimetric space. Tracer pixels from the second CLUT are generated and retained, each tracer pixel including color coordinates of a corresponding unique node in the first CLUT. Tracer pixels are inserted into the first image, and tracer pixels are tracked. Color adjustments are made using image editing software to generate an adjusted combined image having adjusted tracer pixels. The adjusted tracer pixels are extracted. The second CLUT is converted to a third CLUT having a size N | 04-25-2013 |
20150049139 | COLOR ANALYSIS - Techniques related to printing are described herein. According to an example, color patches are to be printed on a substrate. The substrate can be positioned on a substrate support for operation of a color sensor in a color measurement zone. Dimension and location in the substrate of the color patches are selected such that, for each color patch, at least a portion of the color patch can be positioned on a support projection in the color measurement zone. In some examples, color analysis techniques are described. | 02-19-2015 |
