Real surround viewing conditions in watching the color display devices such as TV and PC monitor are quite different from the standard viewing conditions. Human visual system is adapted chromatically under the different viewing conditions in luminance levels and chromaticity of illuminants. Accordingly, the reproduced colors of the same chromaticity will appear as quite different color. Therefore, it is necessary that the displayed colors are reproduced to be appeared as the original colors in the standard viewing conditions. In this paper, we propose a chromatic adaptation model for the variations of the surround illuminants' chromaticity under the same luminance conditions. In proposed chromatic adaptation model, we calculate each gain of L, M, and S as nonlinear functions according to the chromaticity of the surround illuminants. And the optimal coefficients are obtained from the corresponding colors data of the Breneman's experiments. The proposed chromatic adaptation model is compared with the conventional chromatic adaptation models. In the experimental results, the proposed model has very good performance in the whole range of luminance levels. We also experimentally confirmed that the reproduced corresponding colors using the proposed chromatic adaptation are appeared as the original colors when the real surround viewing conditions are different from the standard viewing conditions.

For the purpose of color reproduction under standard viewing conditions, recently, color display devices have developed for the colorimetric color reproduction. However the real viewing condition of color display devices is quite different from that. Therefore, it is very important for reproduced colors viewed under real conditions to match the color appearance under standard situations. There are various models that can be used to reproduce corresponding colors considering the chromatic adaptation of the human visual system. However neutral point or chromatic adaptation for the luminance level is not enough. In this paper, we propose a model that find adapting white points for the variations of the luminance levels under the same illuminant. This model is modeled by the proportion of Euclidian distance for luminance level. It is the adapting white function of the sigmoid type for surround luminance level. In the model, the optimal coefficients are obtained from the Hunt's experimental result. It is applied in the chromatic adaptation model using the neutral point of the various viewing conditions. And the neutral point can be used as the theoretical standard which determines the reference white of the color display devices.

In this paper, we propose the chromatic adaptation models (CAM) for the variations of the luminance levels. A chromatic adaptation model, CAM$\Delta$Y , is proposed according to the change of luminance level under the same illuminants. The proposed model is obtained by the transform the test colors of the high luminance into the corresponding colors of the low luminance. In the proposed model, the optimal coefficients are obtained from the corresponding colors data of the Breneman's experiments. In the experimental results, we confined that the chromaticity errors, $\Delta$u'v', between the predicted colors by the proposed model and the corresponding colors of the Breneman's experiments are 0.004 in u'v' chromaticity coordinates. The prediction performance of the proposed model is excellent because this error is the threshold value that two adjacent color patches can be distinguished. Additionally, we also propose equal-whiteness CCT curves (EWCs) by CAM$\Delta$Y according to the luminance levels of the surround viewing conditions. And the proposed EWCs can be used as the theoretical standard which determines the reference white of the color display devices.

This paper proposes a method of color reproduction considering the viewing conditions of a PDP TV. Because of a change of peripheral environments by a temporal and spatial location of observers, the ambient lightings should be considered in the process of color reproduction of displays. A conventional method enhances the contrast and saturation of images by controlling voltage gains in each channel, so that there is a limit to implementing the phenomenon of human adaptation. This method also faces difficulties in reproducing the perceived colors under a variety of viewing conditions. Accordingly, in order to solve this problem, we first characterize the device by considering the brightness and the flare effect. The chromatic adaptation is finally applied to reproduce colors in a PDP TV using the information from the viewing conditions by the sensor. The images reproduced by the proposed method are visually more superior to those reproduced by a conventional method in the experiments.

A new method is proposed for the design of the dichroic mirrors in 3-LCD projection systems for color separation/composition. Rather than simply basing the color performance cirterion on luminance or chromatic saturation only, the optimum design parameters can be found by maximizing the volume of the perceived color gamut in RLAB color space and related color appearance model and used the linearly approximated spectrum of dichroic mirrors for simplicity and vector space description. By this method, we found optimal half-power wavelengths in dichroic mirrors which maximized our performance criterion.

우리가 일반적으로 모니터에서 작업을 하는 경우 주로 백열등이나 형광등의 조명을 켠 상태에서 하게된다 이런 경우 모니터 상의 동일한 색도는 주위 조명이 바뀜에 따라 다르게 느껴지며 특히 주위 조명의 색도와 모니터의 색도가 틀린 경우는 더욱더 다르게 느껴진다[1]～[3]. 이 논문에서는 우리가 생활하는 일반 환경인 백열등이나 형광등 아래의 모니터 상에 영상을 재현 시 주위 조명의 영향을 고려한 색 재현 알고리즘을 제안한다. 임의의 환경에서 사람의 색 인식에 영향을 미치는 요소는 장면에 존재하는 조명의 색 특성과 물체의 색 특성에 의존한다. 단순한 물체의 표면 반사가 아닌 모니터 등의 조명 역할을 하는 표면이 존재하는 경우는 두 개 이상의 조명이 있는 형태이다. 두개 이상의 조명이 존재하는 경우, 사람들이 느끼는 백색점(white point)은 각 조명의 색도 벡터(chromaticity vector)의 조합으로 표현된다. 본 논문에서는 임의 환경에서 사람이 인식하는 백색점을 모델링하기 위하여 주위 환경이 백색점의 인식에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으며 모니터 상의 색 재현시 주위 조명의 영향을 주위 조명에 의해 생성되는 모니터 표면의 경면 반사(specular reflection)에 의한 영향과 인간 시각의 색 순응(color adaptation) 백색점의 변화 두 가지로 나누어 분석하였다.

This paper proposed color matching technique, including display characterization, chromatic adaptation model, and gamut mapping and extension, to generate consistent colors for the same input signal in each display device. It is necessary to characterize the relationship between input and output colors for display device, to apply chromatic adaptation model considering the difference of reference white, and to compensate for the gamut which display devices can represent for reproducing consistent colors on DTV display devices. In this paper, 9 channel-independent GOG model, which is improved from conventional 3 channel GOG(gain, offset gamma) model, is used to consider channel interaction and enhance the modeling accuracy. Then, the input images have to be adjusted to compensate for the limited gamut of each display device. We proposed the gamut mapping and extension method, preserving lightness and hue of an original image and enhancing the saturation of an original image in xy chromaticity diagram. Since the hmm visual system is more sensitive to lightness and hue, these values are maintained as the values of input signal, and the enhancement of saturation is changed to the ratio of input and output gamut. Also the xy chromaticity diagram is effective to reduce the complexity of establishing gamut boundary and the process of reproducing moving-pictures in DTV display devices. As a result, reproducing accurate colors can be implemented when the proposed method is applied to LCD and PDP display devices
