Title:
METHOD FOR PROCESSING COLOR IMAGE DATA
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2005/109854
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A method for processing color image data that enables to optimally render a color image on a target device. The method incorporates a color gamut mapping step, where the amount of gamut mapping is adapted dynamically, in dependence of at least a color saturation value of the input pixel. Preferably, also a luminance value of the input pixel is used. The adaptive gamut mapping incorporates correction of saturation, and preferably also hue and white point, of the image data. The color gamut of the target device is used to the fullest possible extent, while clipping and loss of local details in highly saturated areas of the input image is largely prevented.
