Images of an object may be captured by cameras located at fixed locations in space as the object travels through the cameras' fields of view. A three-dimensional model of the object may be determined using the images. A portion of the object that has been damaged may be identified based on the three-dimensional model and the images. A damage map of the object illustrating the portion of the object that has been damaged may be generated.

An image processing apparatus includes a processor configured to adjust a reproduction parameter for correcting image visibility by changing a degree by which the reproduction parameter is to be changed from a reference value in accordance with a ratio of a second color gamut to a first color gamut. The first color gamut indicates a range in which an image is expressible by a first device. The second color gamut indicates a range in which an image is expressible by a second device.

Certain examples relate to a method of color matching by confirming a color-rendering device. Color reproduction parameters are determined for a reference and target color-rendering device. A color matching parameter is determined for the target color-rendering device based on a comparison of the color reproduction parameter for the target color-rendering device with the corresponding color reproduction parameter of the reference color-rendering device. The color-rendering device is confirmed dependent on the color matching parameter. Color resources of the target color-rendering device are configured such that a rendering of a color image on the target color-rendering device replicates a rendering of the color image on the reference color-rendering device.

A color management system includes an external apparatus and a printing apparatus. The external apparatus includes a first controller including a first processor and a first memory to send a color verification setting, including at least sheet information, that is set for a color verification operation, and a color verification execution condition that is set for the color verification operation to the printing apparatus. The printing apparatus includes a second controller including a second processor and a second memory to receive the color verification setting and the color verification execution condition from the external apparatus, print a chart image on a sheet corresponding to the sheet information included in the color verification setting in accordance with having satisfied the color verification execution condition, measure the chart image printed on the sheet, and transmit data obtained by a measurement of the chart image to the external apparatus.

A user device constructs a custom color table for an imaging device and transmits the custom color table to a computing device. The computing device digitally signs the custom color table constructed at the user device. The digitally signed custom color table is deployed to the imaging device. The imaging device processes an image using the using the digitally signed custom color table.

An information processing apparatus includes circuitry and a memory, the circuitry performing perceptual image conversion of converting two image data generated from one color image data respectively into perceptual images based on human visual characteristics, collation of determining whether the two perceptual images converted by the perceptual image conversion are same, and comparison result outputting of outputting the comparison result by the collation.

This disclosure involves training generative adversarial networks to shot-match two unmatched images in a context-sensitive manner. For example, aspects of the present disclosure include accessing a trained generative adversarial network including a trained generator model and a trained discriminator model. A source image and a reference image may be inputted into the generator model to generate a modified source image. The modified source image and the reference image may be inputted into the discriminator model to determine a likelihood that the modified source image is color-matched with the reference image. The modified source image may be outputted as a shot-match with the reference image in response to determining, using the discriminator model, that the modified source image and the reference image are color-matched.

System and methods for matching color and appearance of a target coating are provided herein. The system includes an electronic imaging device configured to receive a target image data of the target coating. The target image data includes target coating features.

A method for identical color display based on spectral data impressions for different output applications related to the digital data processing of color information values for different output applications and different color values according to usual standard regarding a controlled, loss-less and color-correct display of specific pre-defined color impressions with location-independent matching and adjusting of the color data. The method contains instructions for identifying and providing in an IT infrastructure specific color data as spectral data records that are converted and transmitted for an output application in real time into a device-specific color profile for a specific output device, taking into account query-dependent values. In a preferred application, material- and substance-specific data is taken into account during conversion. In another preferred application the spectral data records are provided for subsequent queries.
