Novel color transformation algorithm and its applications

We propose a new algorithm available to variety of real-time color space transformations : color correction for hardcopy system, perceptual color control in CIE-LAB space, color coordinate conversions, and color recognition. This algorithm consists of color look up tables and a new 3D color space interpolator. This interpolator makes it easy to design a simple real-time color processor. The simulation shows how the flexible transformations can be performed without degrading the color and tone.© (1990) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
