| 20090074244 | Wide luminance range colorimetrically accurate profile generation method - Generating a color profile for a digital input device. Color values for at least one color target positioned within a first scene are measured, the color target having multiple color patches. An image of the first scene is generated using the digital input device, the first scene including the color target(s). Color values from a portion of the image corresponding to the color target are extracted and a color profile is generated, based on the measured color values and the extracted color values. The generated color profile is used to transform the color values of an image of a second scene captured under the same lighting conditions as the first scene. Using this generated color profile to transform images is likely to result in more colorimetrically accurate transformations of images created under real-world lighting conditions. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20100302271 | IMAGE-BASED SOURCE GAMUT ADJUSTMENT FOR COMPRESSION-TYPE GAMUT MAPPING ALGORITHM - Color management which converts source device colors into counterpart colors in a destination device color space. Device independent source and destination device gamut boundaries are obtained. A color image is generated in the source device color space. The color image is transformed into an image in a device independent color space. A gamut boundary for the device independent image is generated, based on the content of the device independent image. The source device gamut boundary is shrunk in a hue symmetric manner, such that color hues do not change, until it touches the image gamut boundary. Colors of the device independent image are mapped onto a gamut of the destination device by invoking a compression-type gamut mapping algorithm that uses the modified source device gamut boundary and the destination device gamut boundary to perform gamut mapping. The gamut mapped colors are converted into colors in destination device dependent color space. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20110182504 | MODULAR COLOR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE - Color management converting source-side color images into destination-side color images.

A script specifying a sequence of function modules and sources of parameters is received and interpreted. The module library is accessed to confirm compatibility of the input interface definition for one function module and the output interface definition for an immediately preceding function module. The profile library is accessed to confirm compatibility of the profile interface definitions for the source of parameters and the function module. The color transformation workflow is built based on the compatibility of the interface definitions. | 07-28-2011 |

| 20110255779 | VECTOR-BASED COLOR DIFFERENCE METRIC FOR COLOR MAPPING - Color management using a vector-based color difference metric. A color difference map is comprised of color difference vectors for each of a plurality of pixels of an original image. The color difference vector for each pixel includes both a magnitude and a directionality representing a difference for color data in each pixel in the original image, relative to color data in a corresponding mapped pixel in a color mapped image. Pixels in the color difference map having large color differences in color movement relative to nearby pixels are identified in the color difference map, by applying an edge-detection algorithm to the color difference map. For each pixel that is identified in a smooth area in the original image and is identified as having a large color difference in the color difference map, a correction algorithm is applied, so as to provide a corrected color mapped image. | 10-20-2011 |

| 20120033707 | CRYOGENIC TRANSITION DETECTION - A non-destructive test using cryogenic temperatures is capable of detecting defects in materials that result from residual stress from manufacturing and from retained austenite. The subject materials or parts that are subjected to cryogenic temperatures approaching and below ˜−300° F., −184° C., 89° K, thereby causing permanent deformations or characteristic changes in the material if excessive residual stress, retained austenite or discontinuities exist. To determine the extent of changes, a first metric of the subject material is determined, the material is then subjected to cryogenic cooling thereby triggering any deformation or characteristic changes. Subsequent to the cryogenic cooling, the subject material may be returned to a second temperature whereby a second metric representing based on the same characteristic of the subject material is determined. The comparison of the first and second metrics reveals the deformation or change resultant from the defect. In addition characteristic changes in the subject material during cryogenic cooling may be use to detect the phase transition of the retained austenite to martensite. | 02-09-2012 |
