color gamut conversion
Hi,
I'm interesting in the sequence of events of light which comes from an arbitrary scene, travels through a digital camera, and ends in a picture (e.g. bmp-file). Does anybody know some good references / Websites about this topic? For example I read something about color gamut conversion that happens when the sensor color space is converted to another color space (e.g. RGB). Can anybody explain something more about this? For example what is the sensor color space? Why is it necessary because you already apply the Bayer matrix which gives you RGB values, I thought? Thanks for any information, Peter |

These links were just posted in another thread: http://cs.haifa.ac.il/hagit/courses/ist/Lectures/IST12_ColorManagementx4.pdf http://wwwde.kodak.com/US/en/corp/researchDevelopment/technologyFeatures/gamut.shtml For example I read something about color gamut conversion that happens when the sensor color space is converted to another color space (e.g. RGB).

All devices have their own distinctive bias so standardized test charts and color reading machines create software profiles to quantify the imperfections. Also various devices and formats have limited range so you need to specify how to translate or clip from one gamut to another. |

The main reason for "working" color spaces is they are based on a central grey point. That means you can adjust contrast etc without shifting the color balance. Trying to use say a printer profile as a working color space is a BAD idea.. -- Stacey |

Thanks for any information, Peter This is a b-i-g- subject, too big to answer in a NG post. Google for the subject, or buy a book. Colin |
