Abstract: Various systems and methods for generating environmentally contextualized patterns are disclosed. The system and method generates the environmentally contextualized pattern from a set of images representing an environment. The color palette of the dominant colors from the representational images is processed to remove the gray hues, set the remaining highest and lowest value hues to a particular contrast, and then determine a split complement from the lowest value hue. An algorithm, such as a reaction-diffusion algorithm, is then utilized to generate a pattern incorporating the aforementioned hues. The pattern generated by the algorithm provides a high degree of visual contrast with the environment that the images represent, allowing an individual wearing the pattern to be readily visually identifiable against the environment.

Abstract: Disclosed is a processor-implemented method for limiting ink output of marked image data using a target printer. A processor determines a constrained output (CMYK) LUT node data set for outputting the image data using the target printer to thereby mark the image data using a limited amount of ink. The constrained set is determined by re-encoding an encoded emulation output data, i.e., constraining an initial LUT node data set for the target printer based on a second. ICC profile with a smaller gamut. This allows the printer to inherit the smaller gamut. By constraining the initial LUT as disclosed herein, the final, constrained set emulates the smaller gamut in the target printer without suffering from pathological outcomes. The method enables the printer to inherit a natural ink limit methodology for the output colors that is more relatively proportional, and in a single destination profile.

A combined image can be generated, which is combined by adjacently arraying the post-horizontal processing first and second thinned-out images after horizontal processing, as an image to serve as the object of prediction encoding. Aspects of this disclosure can be applied to a case of performing prediction encoding on a first and second image, such as a left and right images making up a 3D image.
