CIE 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.
