METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE TO ALLOW AN OBSERVER TO PERCEIVE COLOURS AS ANOTHER OBSERVER

摘要

Method for transforming a first version of a color to be reproduced by a proof viewing device a into a second version of the same color to be reproduced by the same proof viewing device in a way that a first human observer perceives this color reproduced on said proof viewing device according to said second version as this color is perceived on a final color reproduction device by a second human observer having human visual characteristics different from those of the first observer.

1. Method for transforming in a color transformer a first version of a color to be reproduced by a proof viewing device a into a second version of the same color to be reproduced by the same proof viewing device in a way that a first human observer perceives this color reproduced on said proof viewing device according to said second version as this color is perceived on a final color reproduction device by at least one second human observer, said method comprising:
A/ Transforming device-dependent color coordinates adapted to control said proof viewing device P in order to reproduce said color according to said first version, into device-independent-and-observer-A-dependent color coordinates using a first color characterization model of said proof viewing device calibrated to the human visual characteristics of said first human observer; B/ Transforming said device-independent-and-observer-A-dependent color coordinates into device-dependent-and-observer-A-dependent color coordinates using a second color characterization model of said final color reproduction device calibrated to the human visual characteristics (A) of said first human observer; C/ Transforming said device-dependent-and-observer-A-dependent color coordinates into device-independent-and-observer-B-dependent color coordinates using a third color characterization model for said final color reproduction device calibrated to the human visual characteristics (B) of said second human observer which are different from the human visual characteristics (A) of said first human observer; D/ Transforming said device-independent-and-observer-B-dependent color coordinates into device-dependent-and-observer-B-dependent color coordinates using said first color characterization model, said device-dependent-and-observer-A-and-B-dependent color coordinates being adapted to control said proof viewing device in order to reproduce said color according to said second version.
