3D Color Gamut Visualization for Profile Creation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users find it difficult to visually check and understand the relationship between input and output color spaces in existing color conversion table generation methods, as they are typically displayed as two-dimensional images, making it hard to grasp the ridge lines and color gamuts.
Innovation Solution
A profile creation device and method that display input and output color spaces as three-dimensional images, allowing for easier visualization of the color gamuts and their relationships by generating and displaying input and output color space images based on acquired gamut data, facilitating better color conversion and profile creation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If color spaces are displayed as two-dimensional images, then the display complexity is reduced, but the visualization accuracy and user understanding of color gamuts deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the display of color spaces from two-dimensional to three-dimensional representation. The image generating section creates 3D images that visually represent the volume and structure of color gamuts, allowing users to perceive the spatial relationship and boundaries of different color spaces more accurately while maintaining manageable display complexity through standardized rendering techniques.
2Ease of operation
If color spaces are displayed as two-dimensional images, then the ease of operation is improved, but the information completeness about ridge lines and color relationships deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
By displaying color spaces in three dimensions, the patent preserves complete information about ridge lines, color gamut boundaries, and spatial relationships that are lost in 2D representations. The 3D display maintains ease of operation through intuitive graphical interfaces while preventing information loss by visually encoding multiple color space parameters simultaneously in the third dimension.
