Here the capital letters represent distances from P whereby O and
R stand for original and reproduction colour and Go and Gr are the gamut
boundaries for the original and reproduction respectively. Gamut mapped
colours are calculated in the above way for a number of hue angles around
the originalís hue angle and that colour is chosen as the final reproduction
colour, which has the smallest *D colour difference calculated as follows:
Note, that (l:c:h) = (3:1:2) is suggested to be the best choice
by a previous study of the same authors and this is indeed in-line with
the findings of Katoh and Ito (1996). In addition to this method, a second
algorithm was also proposed where lightness was compressed via a soft-clipping
function and chroma was compressed overall in the way suggested by Viggiano
and Wang (1992). This was again followed by finding the gamut mapped colour
with the minimum *D which again had the same parameters as above.
These two models were used for mapping between a dye sublimation and
an inkjet printer and the resulting reproductions were evaluated using
the pair comparison method. The experimental results suggested that the
first model using image gamuts performed better than both the first and
second models using media gamuts.
