Appeal No. 96-3087 Application 08/059,060 the various viewing environments and for the adaptive effects that each environment would have on the color perceptions of a viewer. Representative claim 41 is reproduced as follows: 41. A method for forming at least one transform for transforming colorimetrically-specified values to intermediary color-image data encoding values, comprising the steps of: a) specifying an input-image viewing environment in terms of its illuminant spectral energy distribution, amount of viewing flare light, surround type, and adaptive white point chromaticities; b) specifying an encoded-image viewing environment in terms of its amount of viewing flare light, surround type, and adaptive white point chromaticitiers; c) generating colorimetrically-specified test color values which adequately sample and cover the useful colorimetric value range; d) adjusting said colorimetric values in accordance with the difference in the amount of viewing flare light specified for the input-image viewing environment and the encoded-image viewing environment to form flare-adjusted colorimetric values; e) adjusting said flare-adjusted colorimetric values in accordance with the difference in the surround types specified for the input-image viewing environment and the encoded-image viewing environment to form surround-adjusted colorimetric 3Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
