Patent number: 11671550Abstract: The present principles relate to a method and device for gamut mapping from a first color gamut towards a second color gamut. The method comprises obtaining a preserved key color (prsv_colorK0) and a hue alignment angle (?K0) of the key color (colorK0) for each key color (colorK0) of at least 3 key colors to define a preserved gamut and a rotated gamut; and performing a hue mapping of a current color (color) from the first color gamut towards the second color gamut wherein in case the current color (color) is in a preserved gamut defined by the preserved key color (prsv_colorK0), the hue mapped current color is unchanged, and in case the current color is out of the preserved gamut, the hue mapped current color is calculated from the hue alignment angle (?K0) of two adjacent key colors of the current color (rotated gamut) and from the preserved area.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2021Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: INTERDIGITAL VC HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Cedric Thebault, Jonathan Kervec, Angelo Mazzante

Patent number: 11263731Abstract: The present principles relate to a method and device for gamut mapping from a first color gamut towards a second color gamut. The method comprises, in a plane of constant hue, obtaining a target lightness for a color on the boundary of first gamut with maximum chroma, called first cusp color; and lightness mapping of the color from the first color gamut towards the second color gamut wherein the lightness mapped color is calculated from a parabolic function applied to the color, the parabolic function mapping the first cusp color to a color having the target lightness. According to a particular characteristic, a preserved chroma is also obtained; and in case the chroma of the color is lower than or equal to the preserved chroma, the lightness mapped color is the color, and in case the chroma of the color is higher than the preserved chroma, the lightness mapped color is calculated from the parabolic function applied to the color.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2018Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: INTERDIGITAL VC HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Cedric Thebault, Marie-Jean Colaitis, Angelo Mazzante
