Psychophysical generation of matching images for cross-media color reproduction

摘要

A technique was developed and tested for generating CRT pictorial image reproductions that match the color appearance of print originals. Five observers, experienced in using Adobe Pho- toshop~TM to adjust images, matched two scenes using a memory-matching technique. Observers were able to produce a accurate matches when originals and reproductions were viewed at the same white point. Observers then matched the reproductions at 6500 K to originals viewed at 9300 and 3000 K. These matches were compared to the predictions of various color-appearance models, using a paired- Comparison technique in a psychophysical experiment using different observers. The observer- Matched images were found to be equal or superior to matches produced using any of the models.
