Method of converting data of a first colorimetric system to data of a second colorimetric system, including a mapping of out of boundary data

摘要

After the relationship between data of a second colorimetric system with respect to data of a first colorimetric system in a color reproduction range is determined as a conversion relationship, the data of the second colorimetric system at the boundary of the color reproduction range are set to data outside the color reproduction range. Using data CMY of the second colorimetric system at the boundary of the color reproduction range, data outside the color reproduction range are estimated according to a multiple regression analysis, thus generating a new conversion relationship. Using the new conversion relationship, data of the first colorimetric system are converted into data of the second colorimetric system, which are thereafter processed by gamut mapping within the color reproduction range.
