Abstract

This paper proposes the color decomposition method for multi-primary display (MPD) using a 3-dimensional look-up-table (3D-LUT) in a linearized LAB space. The proposed method decomposes conventional three-primary colors into the multi-primary control values of a display device under constraints of tristimulus match. To reproduce images on the MPD, the color signals should be estimated from a device-independent color space, such as CIEXYZ and CIELAB. In this paper, the linearized LAB space is used due to its linearity and additivity in color conversion. The proposed method constructs the 3-D LUT, which contain gamut boundary information to calculate color signals of the MPD. For the image reproduction, standard RGB or CIEXYZ is transformed to the linearized LAB and then hue and chroma are computed to refer to the 3D-LUT. In the linearlized LAB space, the color signals of a gamut boundary point with the same lightness and hue of an input point are calculated. Also, color signals of a point on gray axis are calculated with the same lightness of an input. With gamut boundary points and input point, color signals of the input points are obtained with the chroma ratio divided by the chroma of the gamut boundary point. Specially, for the hue change, neighboring boundary points are employed. As a result the proposed method guarantees the continuity of color signals and computational efficiency, and requires less amount of memory.

본 논문에서는 멀티 프라이머리 디스플레이(multi-primary display; MPD)에서 색 재현을 위해 선형 LAB 색공간에서 3차원 took-up-table(3D-LUT)을 이용한 색신호 분리방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 인간 지각의 3가지 속성을 반영하는 선형 LAB 색공간에서 작성된 MPD 색역의 경계를 적은 용량의 메모리를 가지는 3D-LUT로 작성한다. 이때 색역 경계점의 자극치와 MPD의 색신호의 선형관계를 이용하여 3D-LUT에는 휘도 및 색상에 대한 채도와 색신호 조합이 저장된다. 작성된 3D-LUT에 기반하여 입력 자극치에 대응하는 MPD 색신호를 주변 색역 경계점의 색신호 변화를 고려하여 색역 경계점과 입력의 채도비로 보간한다. 그 결과, MPD 색신호가 연속적 계조를 가지도록 하였다. 또한 선형 LAB 색공간에서 색역 경계 LUT를 사용하여 연산의 복잡도를 감소시키고 MPD의 부드러운 색신호 변화를 유도하였다.
