Color Gamut Mapping Illustrates the Range of Possible Gamut Mapping Strategies for Cross-media Colour Reproduction

DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/66b23b/color_gamut_mappin)
has announced the addition of the "Color Gamut Mapping" report to
their offering.

Gamut mapping algorithms, implemented by color management systems,
are an integral part of the color reproduction process. By adjusting
the colors with appropriate algorithms, gamut mapping enables original
colors to 'fit' inside differently shaped color gamuts and
authentically transfers images across a range of media.

This book illustrates the range of possible gamut mapping
strategies for cross-media color reproduction, evaluates the
performance of various options and advises on designing new, improved
solutions.

Starting with overviews of color science, reproduction and
management, the text includes:

- a detailed survey of 90+ gamut mapping algorithms covering
color-by-color reduction and expansion, spatial reduction, spectral
reduction and gamut mapping for niche applications;

- a step-by-step example of a color's journey from original to
reproduction, via a digital workflow;

- a detailed analysis of color gamut computation, including a
comparison of alternative techniques and an illustration of the gamuts
of salient color sets and media;

- a presentation of both measurement-based and psychovisual
evaluation of individual color reproductions;

- an overview of alternative approaches to gamut mapping proposed
by the ISO and the CIE including an analysis of the building blocks of
gamut mapping algorithms and the factors affecting their performance.

Color Gamut Mapping is a comprehensive resource for practicing
color and imaging engineers, scientists and researchers working in the
development of imaging devices, software and solutions. It is also a
valuable reference for students of color and imaging science, as well
as photographers, graphic designers and artists.
