Abstract
Gamut-mapping experiments were performed to test a set of general-purpose gamut-mapping functions. These gamut-mapping algorithms utilized contrast-preserving scaling functions. These algorithms were tested against the GCUSP gamut-mapping algorithm proposed by Morovic and Luo, which was shown to have very good “universal” gamut-mapping characteristics. The results of these experiments showed that vast improvements were obtained when linear lightness and chroma rescaling functions are replaced with contrast-preserving lightness and chroma rescaling functions. For these experiments, the gamut mapping consisted of sigmoidal lightness remapping functions followed by either “knee” functions or “sigmoid-like” chromatic compression functions.
