| 20080204832 | Constructing a color transform using a neural network for colors outside the spectrum locus - A color management module which provides color values in a destination color space by interpolation of a LUT that maps from color values in a source color space to corresponding color values in the destination color space. The LUT includes cells corresponding to color values within a spectrum locus and color values outside the spectrum locus. The LUT is populated differently for cells within the spectrum locus and for those outside the spectrum locus. For cells within the spectrum locus, color values are calculated using a color transform constructed based on device profiles for the source device and for the destination device, and corresponding cells of the LUT are populated based on the calculated values. For cells outside of the spectrum locus, an artificial neural network is trained using the calculated color values, and the corresponding cells are populated based on outputs of the trained neural network. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20090284764 | PLUG-IN FOR CUSTOMIZED DEVICE MODEL WITH INTERFACE FOR DEVICE PROFILER AND FOR COLOR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A measurement-based color management system (MBCMS) plugin device model, methods, and a color profiler program that use the plugin device model. The plugin device model provides both an interface used to convert between device dependent and device independent color values, and an interface used to create a color device profile for use with the plugin device model. The color profiler receives color sample information from the plugin device model, using the color profiler interface provided by the plugin device model. The color profiler generates a color target having color samples as specified by the received color sample information. The color values of the color target's color samples are measured. The color device profile is generated, based on the measured color values. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20110222761 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PRESERVING THE CREATIVE INTENT WITHIN AN IMAGE PRODUCTION CHAIN - Capturing complex artistic intent for an image having image data for multiple pixels. Plural look algorithms are defined, where each look algorithm applies color adjustments to one or more colors to produce corresponding output colors. An artistic intent is identified for each pixel of the image, where the artistic intent is constituted by chained application of one or more of the look algorithms. Information identifying the artistic intent for each pixel of the image is stored in a format that stores the artistic intent identification information together with the image data for each pixel of the image. | 09-15-2011 |
| 20110249896 | RULE-BASED COLOR MANAGEMENT AND IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM - Color management converting source-side color images into destination-side color images. A module library includes module entries corresponding to function modules implementing color processing functionalities. Each module entry includes a module locator, and some include a profile interface definition. A profile library includes profile entries corresponding to sources of parameters. Profile entries include a profile locator and a profile interface definition. A rule library includes external and internal rules which characterize color transformation workflows. Each external rule is associated with function modules. An interface receives factual input including factual input derived from source-side color image data. A rule engine determines a sequence of function modules and sources of parameters by using the factual input and the plural and external rules in the rule library, and builds the color transformation workflow from the determined sequence of function modules and sources of parameters. | 10-13-2011 |
| 20110273369 | ADJUSTMENT OF IMAGING PROPERTY IN VIEW-DEPENDENT RENDERING - An image is displayed by determining a relative position and orientation of a display in relation to a viewer's head, and rendering an image based on the relative position and orientation. The viewer's eye movement relative to the rendered image is tracked, with at least one area of interest in the image to the viewer being determined based on the viewer's eye movement, and an imaging property of the at least one area of interest is adjusted. | 11-10-2011 |
| 20110273466 | VIEW-DEPENDENT RENDERING SYSTEM WITH INTUITIVE MIXED REALITY - An image is displayed by determining a relative position and orientation of a display in relation to a viewer's head, and rendering an image based on the relative position and orientation. The viewer's eye movement relative to the rendered image is tracked, with at least one area of interest in the image to the viewer being determined based on the viewer's eye movement, and an imaging property of the at least one area of interest is adjusted. Computer-generated data is obtained for display based on the at least one area of interest. At least one imaging property of the computer-generated data is adjusted according to the at least one imaging property that was adjusted for the at least one area of interest and the computer-generated data is displayed in the at least one area of interest along with a section of the image displayed in the at least one area of interest. | 11-10-2011 |
| 20110273731 | PRINTER WITH ATTENTION BASED IMAGE CUSTOMIZATION - An image selected to be printed is rendered for display, prior to printing, based on the relative position and orientation of a display in relation to a user's head, where the displayed rendered image is a representation of what the rendered image will look like when printed. The user's eye movement relative to the rendered image is tracked, with at least one area of interest in the image to the viewer being determined based on the viewer's eye movement, an imaging property of the at least one area of interest is adjusted, the image to be printed is rendered based on adjusting the imaging property, and the image is printed. | 11-10-2011 |
