The color interpolation scheme can play an important role in overcoming the physical limitation of the CCD image sensor and in increasing the resolution of color signals, while most conventional approaches result in blurred edges and false color artifacts. In this paper, we have proposed an improved edge-adaptive color interpolation scheme for a progressive scan CCD image sensor with RGB color filter array The edge indicator function proposed utilizes not only the within-channel correlation but also the cross-channel correlation, and reflects the edge characteristics of an image adaptively. The color components unavailable for at each channel are interpolated along the edge direction, not across the edges, so that aliasing artifacts are supressed. Furthermore, we eliminated false color artifacts resulting from the color image formation model in the edge-adaptive color interpolation scheme by adopting the switching algorithm based on the color edge detection. Simulation results of the proposed algorithm indicate that the improved edge-adaptive color interpolation scheme produces quantitatively better and visually more pleasing results than conventional approaches.

A color gamut mapping has been known to be one of promising methods to enhance display quality of various types of color display device. However, it is required to handle this mapping in real time for display or digital TV application. If carefully arranged, the tetrahedral interpolation can be computed with simpler operations compared to a cubic interpolation in the conventional reduced resolution look-up table which is devised to process the gamut mapping in real time. Based on the tetrahedral interpolation, a new type hardware architecture for real-time gamut mapping is proposed in this paper. The proposed hardware architecture shows better processing speed and reduces the hardware cost.

Gamut mapping is a technique that acts on cross-media color reproduction to transform a color between devices for the purpose of enhancing the appearance or preserving the appearance of an image. Gamut mapping essentially produces color conversion error which depends on the gamut mapping method, source and destination devices, and sample points for gamut modeling. For color space conversion between monitor colors and printer colors, empirical representation using sample measurements is currently widely utilized. Color samples are uniformly selected in the device space such as CMY or RGB, represented as color patches, and then measured. However, in the case of printer, these color samples are not evenly distributed inside the printer gamut and the color conversion error is increased. Accordingly, this paper introduces a equally distributed color sampling method in CIELAB space, a device- independent color space, to reduce color conversion error, and the performance is analyzed via color space conversion experiments using three-dimensional interpolation.

본 논문은 Cumulative Distribution Function(CDF) 부합에 의한 영상 개선 방법에 대해서 제안하였다. 제안한 방법은 원본 영상의 히스토그램 분포도를 조사하여 히스토그램 그래프상의 특정 색도값들을 선정, 이 점들을 보간법을 이용하여 히스토그램을 재 작성한다. 이를 이용하여 원본 CDF 그래프를 크게 벋어나지 않고, 즉 밝기 정보가 크게 훼손 되지 않은 상태로 색도 값을 재 배치 함으로써 히스토그램 평활화와 스트레칭 효과를 모두 만족하는 영상 향상의 결과를 얻을 수 있다.

본 논문은 RGB 컬러 3 채널에 대해 공유되는 홀로그램 픽셀 피치를 사용하여 3 차원 장면의 라이트 필드 데이터에서 비호겔 기반 컴퓨터 생성 홀로그램(CGH)을 합성하는 방법을 제안한다. 비호겔 기반 CGH 기술은 라이트 필드의 광선 각도를 평면 파면의 공간 주파수로 해석하여 주어진 라이트 필드 데이터에서 임의의 반송파로 연속 파면을 생성한다. 그러나 광선 각도와 공간 주파수 관계는 파장에 따라 달라지므로 라이트 필드 데이터에서 공간 주파수 샘플링 그리드가 달라져서 홀로그램 재구성에서 색 수차가 발생한다. 제안하는 방법은 가장 작은 청색 회절각이 라이트 필드의 시야를 커버하도록 모든 색상 채널에 공통적인 홀로그램 픽셀 피치를 설정한다. 그런 다음 라이트 필드를 파란색 파장의 공간 주파수 범위와 빨간색 파장의 샘플링 간격으로 보간하여 모든 색상 채널에 공통적인 공간 주파수 샘플링 그리드를 설정한다. 공통 홀로그램 픽셀 피치 및 라이트 필드 공간 주파수 샘플링 그리드는 홀로그램 재구성에서 색상 수차 또는 라이트 필드에 포함된 정보 손실 없이 컬러 홀로그램 합성을 보장한다. 제안된 방법은 다양한 테스트와 리얼 3D 장면의 컬러 라이트 필드 데이터를 사용하여 검증되었다.

This paper proposes a gamut mapping algorithm based on color space division for cross media color reproduction. As each color device has a limited range of producible colors, reproduced colors on a destination device are different from those of the original device. In order to reduce the color difference, the proposed method divides the whole gamut into parabolic shapes based on intersecting lightness by the just noticeable difference (JND) and the original device gamut boundary. Dividing the gamut with parabolic shapes and piecewise mapping of each region not only considers gamut characteristics but also provides for mapping uniformity. Also the lightness variations are more sensitive to the human visual system and by using lightness JND it can restrict lightness mapping variations that are unperceivable to enhance lightness contrast and chrominance. As a result, the proposed algorithm is able to reproduce high quality images using low-cost color devices.

Humans have adapted and evolved to natural light. However, as humans stay in indoor longer in modern times, the problem of biorhythm disturbance has been induced. To solve this problem, research is being conducted on lighting that reproduces the correlated color temperature(CCT) of natural light that varies from sunrise to sunset. In order to reproduce the CCT of natural light, multiple LED light sources with different CCTs are used to produce lighting, and then a control index DB is constructed by measuring and collecting the light characteristics of the combination of input currents for each light source in hundreds to thousands of steps, and then using it to control the lighting through the light characteristic matching method. The problem with this control method is that the more detailed the steps of the combination of input currents, the more time and economic costs are incurred. In this paper, an LED lighting control method that applies interpolation and combination calculation based on the minimum spectral power distribution information for each light source is proposed to reproduce the CCT of natural light. First, five minimum SPD information for each channel was measured and collected for the LED lighting, which consisted of light source channels with different CCTs and implemented input current control function of a 256-steps for each channel. Interpolation calculation was performed to generate SPD of 256 steps for each channel for the minimum SPD information, and SPD for all control combinations of LED lighting was generated through combination calculation of SPD for each channel. Illuminance and CCT were calculated through the generated SPD, a control index DB was constructed, and the CCT of natural light was reproduced through a matching technique. In the performance evaluation, the CCT for natural light was provided within the range of an average error rate of 0.18% while meeting the recommended indoor illumination standard.

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.
