Appeal No. 96-3087
Application 08/059,060
amendment after the final rejection was entered for the
purposes of this appeal.
The disclosed invention relates to a color-imaging method
for generating input signal transformations that allow the use
of any type of input or output media or device, including
highly disparate media and devices such as photographic
negatives, positive transparencies, reflection prints, and
electronic signals. It describes an intermediary color space
that represents the color appearance of each input image, as
viewed in a specified input viewing environment. The viewing
environment is defined in terms of surround, adaptive white
point, and viewing flare.
The input transformations account for the differences in
the defined viewing environments associated with each input
source and a uniquely defined reference viewing environment
specified for the intermediary color space. The output
transformations account for the differences in the viewing
environments associated with each output and the reference
viewing environment defined for the intermediary color space.
These transforms thus account for both the physical effects of
