CIE Division 8 - TC8-03: Survey of Gamut Mapping Papers


Marcu & Abe (1996)

In addition to overviewing a number of previously published techniques, this paper also proposes a new algorithm, where colours are clipped towards a centre on the lightness axis. This centre is determined for each colour individually depending on its lightness relative to the gamutís extremes (Figure  1).

In addition to clipping, a white shift technique like the one described in Hung (1995) is used. This paper also contains a description of some very useful gamut visualisation techniques developed by its authors.
