Hue changing color gamut mapping
An aspect of present principles is directed to methods and systems for gamut mapping colors from a either a source color gamut or a content color gamut towards a target color gamut. A source hue of the source specific colors and a source hue of the content specific colors is changed towards a target hue of the corresponding target specific colors. Color gamut mapping is performed for the source colors of either the whole source color gamut or the content color gamut towards the target color gamut based on the mapped specific colors. The specific colors are selected from primary colors, secondary colors, a group of primary colors and secondary colors.
Printhead state GUI for printers
Systems and methods are provided for reviewing printed jobs. On embodiment is a system comprising a print review device. The print review device includes a memory that stores an image of a test pattern printed by printheads of a printer, and a controller that generates a Graphical User Interface (GUI), for presentation at a display, depicting states of the printheads based on the image, receives input from a user selecting one of the printheads, correlates the printhead with a portion of the image, and presents the portion of the image for review at the GUI. The controller also identifies locations on the portion that are correlated with nozzles of the printhead, and selectively highlights the locations based on state information for the nozzles.
PRINTING PARAMETERS
Disclosed is an apparatus generate updated sets of printing parameters for a printing process, the apparatus comprising a processor to receive initial correspondence data indicating correspondence between a plurality of color values and respective sets of printing parameters, wherein at least one colorant combination and a respective coefficient is assigned to each of the sets of printing parameters. The processor is to assign a weight to each colorant combination in the initial correspondence data based on at least a printing quality criterion relating to the colorant combinations within the initial correspondence data, and re-assign colorant combinations and respective coefficients to generate updated sets of printing parameters based on the assigned weights. Also disclosed is a method and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium.
Machine learning color science conversion
Techniques are disclosed for converting image frames from one color space to another while predicting artistic choices that a director, colorist, or others would make. In one configuration, a color conversion application receives image frames, an indication of color spaces to convert between, and metadata associated with the image frames and/or regions therein. The conversion application determines a global, base color conversion for the image frames using a predefined color space transformation. Then, the conversion application (optionally) extracts image regions depicting objects of interest in the image frames, after which the color conversion application processes each of the extracted image regions and the remaining image frames (after the extracted regions have been removed) using one or more functions determined using machine learning. The processed extracted regions and remainders of the image frames are then combined by the color conversion application for output.
Visual content proofing on multiple target devices
In some embodiments, a visual content proofing system obtains visual content for proofing and a list of multiple target devices. The visual content is to be rendered by each of the multiple target devices. For each of the multiple target devices, the visual content proofing system determines a supported color region in a reference color space according to a color profile of the target device. The visual content proofing system further determines a commonly supported color region in the reference color space for these multiple target devices and a design device used for designing the visual content. By using the commonly supported color region, unsafe colors in the visual content can be determined and be replaced with safe colors to generate a revised visual content which can be rendered accurately by all of these target devices.
COLOR VALUE PREDICTION SYSTEM AND GENERATION METHOD FOR COLOR VALUE PREDICTOR
A color value prediction system includes a color-value predicting section configured to receive an input of information representing ink amounts of a first apparatus and output spectral reflectance, a receiving section configured to receive an input of information representing a designated color gamut, a preparing section configured to prepare first teacher information representing a plurality of sets of combinations of ink amounts of the first apparatus and second teacher information, which is a plurality of sets of spectral reflectance respectively associated with the plurality of sets of combinations of ink amounts of the first teacher information, and a generating section configured to generate the color-value predicting section with machine learning in which the first teacher information serving as an input value and the second teacher information serving as an output value are used as teacher data. The first teacher information includes designated teacher information representing a combination of ink amounts of the first apparatus representing a color included in the designated color gamut.
Printer for two-color copying
A printing system includes: a scanner configured to scan a document to generate a document image; a determination section configured to automatically determine a first color in accordance with a situation; a specification section configured to cause a user to specify a color with recommendation of the first color; and a print section configured to perform two-color copying on a medium by using a color specified by the specification section.
Image processing device generating print data using profile corresponding to printing direction
In an image processing device, a controller is configured to perform: selecting; generating; and outputting. The selecting selects a target partial image one by one from a plurality of partial images. The target partial image is represented by target partial image data. The generating generates partial print data for a partial print by executing an image process on the target partial image data. The partial print forms the target partial image while moving a print head in a printing direction. The partial print forms the target partial image while moving a print head in a printing direction. The image process includes a color conversion process. The color conversion process is executed on the target partial image data using one of a first profile and a second profile selected in accordance with the printing direction set for the partial print. The outputting outputs the partial print data to the printer.
Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and storage medium
An image processing apparatus includes a control unit configured to control a conversion characteristic for converting image data based on a first color space into image data based on a second color space based on a difference between a specific color and a peripheral color of the specific color in the first color space, wherein the control unit changes a first conversion characteristic into a second conversion characteristic such that a color difference between the specific color and the peripheral color converted by the second conversion characteristic is greater than a color difference between the specific color and the peripheral color converted by the first conversion characteristic.
Image cataloger based on gridded color histogram analysis
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for cataloging images based on a gridded color histogram analysis. The computer accesses an image gallery specified by a user, wherein the image gallery is at least one of an image gallery stored on a user computing device, an image gallery stored on a user account at a third-party image storage, or an image gallery searched on the web. The computer receives a request to search the image gallery specified by the user. The computer performs a search of the image gallery, wherein the search is using a color based histogram algorithm based on a user input. The computer transmits a cataloged and sorted image gallery to the user computing device to be displayed.
