Abstract

Multi-primary displays, which enable to expand their color gamut, have a degree of freedom in the selection of the device control signals to reproduce a set of tristimulus values. To reproduce a given tristimulus values on a multi-primary display, we need a color conversion algorithm which gives a unique set of device control signals; several algorithms with different characteristics have been proposed. However, they do not guarantee that control signals change smoothly even when tristimulus values change smoothly. Such signal discontinuity is pointed out as a cause of pseudo contour appeared in smooth tonal change when color matching functions of observers are deviated from the standard one or when device profiles include some error. In this article, first, the relation between signal discontinuity and pseudo contour is theoretically analyzed. Then a comparative evaluation is performed on the smoothness of the gradation patterns among three color conversion algorithms. As a result of the comparison, it was confirmed that a method that generates smooth signal all over the color gamut gave the smoothest gradation both objectively and subjectively.
