An illustrative apparatus maps a first color of a first image of a scene to a second color of a second image of the scene. The first color of the first image is defined by a combination of real primary colors of a first display technology. The second color of the second image is determined by mapping at least one of the real primary colors of the first display technology to at least one virtual primary color for a second display technology and using the at least one virtual primary color to define the second color of the second image. The at least one virtual primary color is different from real primary colors of the second display technology.

The processing device may be configured to determine a position of an eye of a viewer with respect to the display, define a first region of the display substantially corresponding with a peripheral vision field of the eye, define a second region of the display substantially corresponding with a central visual field of the eye, send a first portion of the data to be displayed at the first region, and send a second portion of the data to be displayed at the second output region such that a portion of the central visual field is unobstructed by the second portion of the data.

This determination comprises: defining key constant-hue leaves such as to partition the gamut mapping color space into angular hue sectors; for each key constant hue leaf, defining a key hue leaf chroma mapping function; for each angular hue sector, defining a continuous angular hue sector chroma mapping function such that, for any source color belonging to one of the two key constant-hue leaves delimiting this angular hue sector, this continuous chroma mapping function allows to map the chroma of said source color according to the key hue leaf chroma mapping function of the key constant-hue leaf to which said source color belongs. Preferably, this mapping functions are non linear polynomials.

The disclosure describes a high dynamic range video coding pipeline that may reduce color artifacts and improve compression efficiency. The disclosed pipeline separates the luminance component from the chrominance components of an input signal (e.g., an RGB source video) and applies a scaling of the chrominance components before encoding, thereby reducing perceivable color artifacts while maintaining luminance quality.

A color separation table creating method includes: setting a grid point having a process color as a color component and creating a color separation table in which a color on each grid point is represented by a separation value of each color component when the color is approximated by a mixed color of the process color and a spot color; smoothing the separation value corresponding to each grid point of the color separation table; and changing the separation value corresponding to each grid point of the color separation table after smoothing such that color shift by the smoothing is corrected, wherein, at the changing, while fixing the separation value of partial color component out of the process color and spot color, the separation value of another color component is changed.

A color gamut mapping method and a color gamut mapping device is provided, the method includes: determining a mapping target color gamut; obtaining a Lab value of a color point in the original color gamut, and determining a coordinate position of the color point in a corresponding tone plane of the original color gamut; judging the color point position; determining an intersection of a horizontal line the color point located and a boundary of the original color gamut, and a boundary of the mapping target color gamut; and determining a mapping point of the color point on the boundary of the map target color gamut by a ratio of an area of a pattern formed by the intersection, and an intersection of the original color gamut and a coordinate axis, and a difference between the area of the original color gamut and the area of the mapping target color gamut.
