  • Color transform insensitive to process variability
    Patent number: 8427722
    Abstract: A method for determining a blended color transform for use in producing printed colors on a color printer having at least four device color channels, comprising: forming first and second color transforms, wherein the first color transform produces printed colors that have a reduced sensitivity to color printer process variations in at least a first region of color space that includes a near-neutral color region, and wherein the second color transform produces printed colors that have a reduced image noise visibility in at least a second region of color space; defining a blending function which computes weighting values for the first and second color transforms as a function of input color values; and using a processor to determine the blended color transform by blending the first color transform and the second color transform, responsive to the blending function.

  • CONSTRUCTING PROFILES TO COMPENSATE FOR NON-LINEARITIES IN IMAGE CAPTURE
    Publication number: 20020122589
    Abstract: A chart having color patches, each color patch including information which permits the mapping of a digitized color image from an image captured by various means to construct a Profile usable in modifying the tone scale and color of the digital image, the number of color patches being greater than 24 and being selected to compensate for non-linear characteristics of image capture.
