Abstract
A color correction apparatus of a scanner and a method of controlling the same. The color correction apparatus changes data existing outside of the gamut boundary to the other data existing within a gamut boundary in order to correctly express a gamut, and correctly corrects the color of the scanner. The color correction apparatus includes a calculator to calculate CIE data corresponding to RGB data, and a correction unit to change the CIE data to new CIE data existing within a gamut boundary if it is determined that the CIE data exists outside of the gamut boundary.
Claims21
A color correction apparatus usable in a scanner, comprising:
- a calculator to calculate CIE data corresponding to RGB data;
- and
- a correction unit to change the CIE data to new CIE data existing within a gamut boundary if it is determined that the CIE data exists outside of the gamut boundary.
A color correction apparatus usable in a scanner, comprising:
- a decision unit to determine if a gamut volume created by an ICC profile exists outside of a color-measurement gamut volume created by CIE data formed by color measurement of a reference-color chart;
- and
- a correction unit to change the gamut volume to a new gamut volume existing within the color-measurement gamut volume if the gamut volume exists outside of the color-measurement gamut volume.
A color correction apparatus, comprising:
- a scan input unit to receive RGB data formed by the scanning of a reference-color chart;
- and
- a color-measurement input unit to receive CIE data formed by color measurement of the reference-color chart;
- a calculation unit to calculate CIE data corresponding to all of RGB data using the RGB data and the CIE data;
- and
- a correction unit to change the CIE data to new CIE data existing within a pre-stored gamut boundary if it is determined that the CIE data exists outside of the gamut boundary.
A method of controlling a color correction apparatus of a scanner, comprising:
- receiving RGB data formed by the scanning of a reference-color chart;
- receiving CIE data formed by color measurement of the reference-color chart;
- estimating a color-correction calculation equation using the RGB data and the CIE data;
- calculating CIE data corresponding to all of the RGB data using the color-correction calculation equation;
- determining whether the CIE data exists outside of a pre-stored gamut boundary;
- and
- changing the CIE data to new CIE data existing within the gamut boundary if the CIE data exists outside of the gamut boundary.
A method of controlling a color-correction apparatus of a scanner comprising:
- creating a gamut volume using an ICC profile;
- creating a color-measurement gamut volume using CIE data formed by color measurement of a reference-color chart;
- determining whether the gamut volume exists outside of the color-measurement gamut volume;
- and
- if the gamut volume exists outside of the color-measurement gamut volume, changing the gamut volume to a new gamut volume existing within the color-measurement gamut volume.
A color correction apparatus, comprising:
- a decision unit to compare a first color data with a predetermined range;
- and
- a correction unit to change the first color data into a second color data if the first color data is outside of the predetermined range.
A computer readable recording medium having embodied thereon a computer program to execute a method, wherein the method comprises:
- receiving RGB data formed by the scanning of a reference-color chart;
- receiving CIE data formed by color measurement of the reference-color chart;
- estimating a color-correction calculation equation using the RGB data and the CIE data;
- calculating CIE data corresponding to all of the RGB data using the color-correction calculation equation;
- determining whether the CIE data exists outside of a pre-stored gamut boundary;
- and
- changing the CIE data to new CIE data existing within the gamut boundary if the CIE data exists outside of the gamut boundary.
A computer readable recording medium having embodied thereon a computer program to execute a method, wherein the method comprises:
- creating a gamut volume using an ICC profile;
- creating a color-measurement gamut volume using CIE data formed by color measurement of a reference-color chart;
- determining whether the gamut volume exists outside of the color-measurement gamut volume;
- and
- if the gamut volume exists outside of the color-measurement gamut volume, changing the gamut volume to a new gamut volume existing within the color-measurement gamut volume.
