Color Reproduction Based On Color Appearance Match

As color information is applied in relative fields more and more widely, people raise a higher request for the quality of color reproduction. Color appearance match plays an important role in cross-media Color Management System(CMS).In viewing of the disadvantages that traditional color management technology can not meet the demand of various viewing conditions, and to make color reproduction between different media, different viewing conditions and different surround and background, a color reproduction algorithm is proposed based on color appearance match.This paper analyzes the causes of the color appearance phenomenon and selects a color appearance model that fit the practical application. By transforming to tristimulus values in a reference viewing condition using a chromatic adaptation model. At this point predictors of lightness, chroma, and hue for each image element can be obtained. Again the process is reversed for the viewing conditions of the reproduction. Experimental results show that color management with this algorithm works better in cross-media color reproduction than traditional color management. Finally, the color appearance match module software is developed to support the cross-media color management system.
