A computing device may include a processor and a display device communicatively coupled to the processor wherein the display device includes a wide gamut mode wherein the wide gamut mode comprises a plurality of different gamut profiles and wherein the display device adjusts from a first gamut profile to a second gamut profile based on a gamut profile associated with an image to be represented on the display device.

Provided is an image processing method for generating print data, the method including an ink amount generating step for generating CMYK data based on image data. The ink amount generating step determines the CMYK data based on a brightness L* calculated using a function f3(D) satisfying f1(D)≥f3(D) in a range of the gradation values D from a coordinates Pk to a coordinates Ps and also satisfying f1(D)≥f3(D) in at least part of the range.

Chroma correction of inverse gamut mapping (IGM) for standard dynamic range (SDR) to high dynamic range (HDR) image conversion includes: converting R,G,B color components in the RGB color format of a pixel of an image to an intensity component (I) and chroma components (Ct and Cp) of an ICtCp color format, wherein the R,G,B color components represent red, green, and blue colors; applying an intensity transformation operation on the intensity component (I) of the pixel; executing a chroma correction operation on the transformed intensity component (I) and the chroma components (Ct and Cp) of the pixel; and converting the intensity component (I) and the chroma components (Ct and Cp) of the pixel back to the RGB color format.

The present disclosure provides a gamut mapping method and a system. The method includes: obtaining a brightness value of each sampling point corresponding to image data of a transmission end on a basis of a three-dimensional mapping table; performing equal-brightness cutting on a three-dimensional gamut model of the transmission end and a three-dimensional gamut model of a display end separately on a basis of the brightness value of each sampling point to form a corresponding equal-brightness two-dimensional surface; and performing color mapping on a basis of the formed equal-brightness two-dimensional surface and outputting mapping data. Hence, during gamut mapping, brightness and tone are kept unchanged, precise matching of three-dimensional gamut mapping from a transmission gamut to a display gamut is realized, avoiding problems of image distortion or a display error or the like due to mapping mismatch between the transmission gamut and the display gamut.

Examples of a method and a system measure colorimetric data of a set of color samples deposited on a reference substrate and on at least one further substrate having distinct colors from one another. Based on the measured colorimetric data, estimate functions are applied for mapping between the colorimetric data of the color samples deposited on differently colored substrates.

An imaging processing system includes an image pickup device that has circuitry which creates, from raw image data, image data including a first gamut, and compression-codes the image data including the first gamut to generate compression-coded image data. The system also includes an image processing device that has circuitry which decodes the compression-coded image data to generate uncompressed image data, which includes the first gamut. The circuitry of the image processing device also converts the uncompressed image data including the first gamut into image data including a second gamut, where the first gamut encompasses the second gamut.

Certain examples described herein relate to mapping between an input color space and an output color space. In some cases, data representing a set of candidate output color values in the output color space is obtained for a transition region between two input color values in the input color space. A sub-region of the transition region is defined, the sub-region being associated with a target colorimetry and a target value of a metric. An output color value is selected from the set of candidate output color values. The output value has an associated value of the metric and an associated colorimetry. The selecting is based on the associated colorimetry and the target colorimetry, and the value of the metric and the target value of the metric. In some cases, mapping data is generated by assigning the selected output color value to the sub-region.

In a method to improve backwards compatibility when decoding high-dynamic range images coded in a wide color gamut (WCG) space which may not be compatible with legacy color spaces, hue and/or saturation values of images in an image database are computed for both a legacy color space (say, YCbCr-gamma) and a preferred WCG color space (say, IPT-PQ). Based on a cost function, a reshaped color space is computed so that the distance between the hue values in the legacy color space and rotated hue values in the preferred color space is minimized HDR images are coded in the reshaped color space. Legacy devices can still decode standard dynamic range images assuming they are coded in the legacy color space, while updated devices can use color reshaping information to decode HDR images in the preferred color space at full dynamic range.

In an example, a method includes determining, using processing circuitry, a first print coverage vector associated with an estimated colorimetry which corresponds to a target colorimetry, wherein the estimated colorimetry of the print coverage vector is based on a first color model, the first print coverage vector being optimised relative to a first metric. The method may further include determining, using processing circuitry, a predicted colorimetry of the first print coverage vector based on a second color model.
