Real surround viewing conditions in watching the color display devices such as TV and PC monitor are quite different from the standard viewing conditions. Human visual system is adapted chromatically under the different viewing conditions in luminance levels and chromaticity of illuminants. Accordingly, the reproduced colors of the same chromaticity will appear as quite different color. Therefore, it is necessary that the displayed colors are reproduced to be appeared as the original colors in the standard viewing conditions. In this paper, we propose a chromatic adaptation model for the variations of the surround illuminants' chromaticity under the same luminance conditions. In proposed chromatic adaptation model, we calculate each gain of L, M, and S as nonlinear functions according to the chromaticity of the surround illuminants. And the optimal coefficients are obtained from the corresponding colors data of the Breneman's experiments. The proposed chromatic adaptation model is compared with the conventional chromatic adaptation models. In the experimental results, the proposed model has very good performance in the whole range of luminance levels. We also experimentally confirmed that the reproduced corresponding colors using the proposed chromatic adaptation are appeared as the original colors when the real surround viewing conditions are different from the standard viewing conditions.

For the purpose of color reproduction under standard viewing conditions, recently, color display devices have developed for the colorimetric color reproduction. However the real viewing condition of color display devices is quite different from that. Therefore, it is very important for reproduced colors viewed under real conditions to match the color appearance under standard situations. There are various models that can be used to reproduce corresponding colors considering the chromatic adaptation of the human visual system. However neutral point or chromatic adaptation for the luminance level is not enough. In this paper, we propose a model that find adapting white points for the variations of the luminance levels under the same illuminant. This model is modeled by the proportion of Euclidian distance for luminance level. It is the adapting white function of the sigmoid type for surround luminance level. In the model, the optimal coefficients are obtained from the Hunt's experimental result. It is applied in the chromatic adaptation model using the neutral point of the various viewing conditions. And the neutral point can be used as the theoretical standard which determines the reference white of the color display devices.

The viewers primarily watch a television under the surround light source of an incandescent or a fluorescent light. When human visual system has been adapted chromtically under the different surround light, the same chromaticities elicit quite different color appearnaces. Therefore, the corresponding color reproduction is the most suitable objective of a color television system. In this paper, an efficient corresponding color reproduction method based on the chromatic adaptation of human visual system is proposed in which colors in the display have the same appearance as the colors in the original would have had if they had been illuminated by standard illuminant ($D_{65}$). The chromaticities that appeared neutral in human visual system were determined by the Hunt's experimental results of the color adaptation in picture viewing situations and the corresponding chromaticity coordinates of stimuli in chromatic adaptation were obtained by the Bartleson's theory. Also, the corresponding color reproduction is realized by changing the phase and the gain of the demodulation axes in television receiver. Experimental results show that the proposed corresponding color displayed on the television is better than that of the conventional colorimetric color reproduction under the surround light sources.

In this paper, we propose the chromatic adaptation models (CAM) for the variations of the luminance levels. A chromatic adaptation model, CAM$\Delta$Y , is proposed according to the change of luminance level under the same illuminants. The proposed model is obtained by the transform the test colors of the high luminance into the corresponding colors of the low luminance. In the proposed model, the optimal coefficients are obtained from the corresponding colors data of the Breneman's experiments. In the experimental results, we confined that the chromaticity errors, $\Delta$u'v', between the predicted colors by the proposed model and the corresponding colors of the Breneman's experiments are 0.004 in u'v' chromaticity coordinates. The prediction performance of the proposed model is excellent because this error is the threshold value that two adjacent color patches can be distinguished. Additionally, we also propose equal-whiteness CCT curves (EWCs) by CAM$\Delta$Y according to the luminance levels of the surround viewing conditions. And the proposed EWCs can be used as the theoretical standard which determines the reference white of the color display devices.

This paper proposes a method of color reproduction considering the viewing conditions of a PDP TV. Because of a change of peripheral environments by a temporal and spatial location of observers, the ambient lightings should be considered in the process of color reproduction of displays. A conventional method enhances the contrast and saturation of images by controlling voltage gains in each channel, so that there is a limit to implementing the phenomenon of human adaptation. This method also faces difficulties in reproducing the perceived colors under a variety of viewing conditions. Accordingly, in order to solve this problem, we first characterize the device by considering the brightness and the flare effect. The chromatic adaptation is finally applied to reproduce colors in a PDP TV using the information from the viewing conditions by the sensor. The images reproduced by the proposed method are visually more superior to those reproduced by a conventional method in the experiments.

동일한 Display 장치를 인간의 눈으로 봤을 때와 카메라로 봤을 때 표현되는 Color는 너무나 다르다. 인간에게는 광원(光源)의 종류에 따른 색 분광에너지가 달라도, 그 차이를 적게 하는 색순응(Chromatic Adaptation)이라는 능력이 있는데 이것은 카메라에게는 없는 능력이기 때문이다. Display 장치에 어떤 영상신호를 띄우고 카메라로 Display 장치를 촬상했을 때 원본 영상과 카메라로 비춰진 영상의 Color와 계조를 일치시키기 위해서는 Display 장치와 카메라의 색온도를 맞추어야 하는데, 카메라와 Display 간(間) 색온도 차이가 발생한다면 Display 장치의 영상은 의도하지 않은 색으로 표현되어진다. 카메라 색온도는 사용되어지는 조명에 맞추어 조정되며, Display 장치의 색온도를 여기에 일치시키는 방법을 통칭 'CMS(Color Management System) for Display Equipment'라 하고 그 방법을 소개하고자 한다.

Additive color mixture of two different background colors appeared in the afterimage of a gray circle centered on an isoluminant bichromatic background (red/green, blue/green, or blue/yellow background). The chromatic mixture still appeared in the afterimage of a gray circle on a bichromatic background at different luminance levels, and also appeared in a large test field. The saturation of the induced color was observed to increase as the overall luminance of adaptation background stimulus increase of the size of test field decreases. It was found that the chromatic mixture does not appear with a chromatic or achromatic boundary inserted on the center of the test field. The boundary seems to prevent the induced color on each side of test field from spreading to the other side so that the induced color does not appear mixed but divided into two different colors. Without a boundary on the test stimulus, the color information induced in the afterimage seems to be too weak to create a subjective boundary between the two colors and consequently propagate inward appearing mixed.

A new method is proposed for the design of the dichroic mirrors in 3-LCD projection systems for color separation/composition. Rather than simply basing the color performance cirterion on luminance or chromatic saturation only, the optimum design parameters can be found by maximizing the volume of the perceived color gamut in RLAB color space and related color appearance model and used the linearly approximated spectrum of dichroic mirrors for simplicity and vector space description. By this method, we found optimal half-power wavelengths in dichroic mirrors which maximized our performance criterion.

화이트 밸런스를 유지해야 하는 이유는 입력 이미지의 컬러 밸런스와 동질의 화질 유지를 위하거나, 혹은 이미지를 개선할 때 화질 균일 성을 유지하기 위함이다. 그러나 기존 컬러 개선 방식들은 화이트 밸런스 보존에 관계없이 컬러 개선이 이루어지기 때문에 컬러 개선 전과 후의 화이트 밸런스가 다르게 나타난다. 이 논문에서는 색 순응 변환을 이용하여 화이트 밸런스를 보존하면서 자연스러운 컬러 이미지 개선 및 컬러 측정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 그 결과는 제안된 알고리즘은 Color Naturalness Index 와 Color Colorful Index 라고 풀리는 객관적 방법뿐만 아니라 주관적인 방법 에서도 개선됨을 확인하였다. 알고리즘의 복잡도는 낮으므로 현실 어플리케이션에서도 유용하게 이용될 것이다.
