dc.description.abstract | In the context of colorimetric matching, the intent of color scanner and printer calibrations is to characterize the device-dependent responses to the device-independent representations
such as CIEXYZ or CIE 1976 L*a*b* (CIELAB). Usually, this is accomplished by a two-step process of gray balancing and a matrix
transformation, using a transfer matrix obtained from multiple polynomial regression. Color calibrations, printer calibrations in particular,
are highly nonlinear. Thus, a new technique, the neural network with the Cascade Correlation learning architecture, is employed for
representing the map of device values to CIE standards. Neural networks are known for their capabilities to learn highly nonlinear relationships from presented examples. Excellent results are obtained using this particular neural net; in most training sets, the average color differences are about one Eab. This approach is compared to the polynomial approximations ranging from a 3-term linear fit to a 14-term cubic equation. The results from training sets indicate that the neural net outperforms the polynomial approximation.
However, the comparison is not made in the same ground and the generalizations, using the trained neural net to predict relationships it has not been trained with, are sometimes rather poor. Nevertheless, the neural network is a very promising tool for use in color calibrations and other color technologies in general (Refer to PDF file for exact formulas). | en_US |
