Division 8 - TC8-03: Survey of Gamut Mapping Papers
MacDonald (1993)
The aim of this paper is to outline the advantages of implementing gamut
mapping in a colour appearance modelís colour space. It highlights the
importance of the illuminant, surround and medium on which a given image
is shown and points out that these crucial factors are not taken into account
when other environments, like XYZ or uniform colour spaces, are used. A
five stage transform (as mentioned in Section 1) is proposed, where gamut
mapping is performed between the appearance attributes (lightness, hue,
colourfulness) of the two gamuts and the recommended colour appearance
model is the one developed by Hunt (1991). Overall this paper gives a good
overview of the issues involved in gamut mapping and can be seen as a good
general introduction to the topic.
