METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONVERTING IMAGE COLOR PREFERENCE CHARACTERISTIC, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and method for converting image color preference characteristic, and recording medium therefor.

SOLUTION: The image color preference characteristic converting apparatus comprises: an input image characteristic calculation section for calculating a color characteristic value with respect to an input image; a color preference data section for generating preference metadata having at least one feature block, the feature block comprising a block header including a feature identifier corresponding to information identifying a color characteristic and at least one feature descriptor including the preference value and the reference value; an image color characteristic mapping section for obtaining a color characteristic value with respect to the input image using the color characteristic value of the input image calculated by the color characteristic calculation section and the color preference data outputted from the color preference data section, and an image color characteristic converting section for converting the color characteristic of the input image so that the input image has the color characteristic value obtained from the image color characteristic mapping section.
