  1.

  2. Motivation Reliable characterization of display By a measuring device By human observation

  3. Colors of the display • Additive RGB channels • characteristics separable by channel • Side effects • slight cross effects (stronger for LCD) • environmental effects • Pipeline • graphics card [byte] • display device [voltage] • eye [luminance] • brain [color appearance]

  4. Tone Reproduction Curve byte → luminance(by channel)

  5. Previous Work – Models for the TRC • Models with small number of parameters • Linear functions: GOG, version 1.x IEC GGO, version 2.x 3.x IEC GOGO • [Berns et al. 1993] • Non linear functions: LIN-LIN2, LOG-LIN, LOG-LIN2, LOG-LOG, LOG-LOG2 • [Post and Calhoun 1989], [Katoh and Deguchi 1998] • S-curve (S-shaped function): handling cross effect (mainly at LCD monitors) • [Kwak MacDonald 2001], [Miyake et al. 1990] • Arbitrary number of parameters • Masking model (spline) • [Tamura et al. 2003]

  6. Our method • Basic measurement steps • Human observations • Errors are tolerable and can be reduced • Relative measurements • Finding the input values (instead of output values) • Automatic stop and setup of basic steps • Optimization (definition of the TRC function) • Generic function is achieved • A relative curve is defined • Passes requirements of human perception

  16. The math problem • No direct measurements for f(x) • onlyrelative measurements ((x0, x2, r), x1) • diff = y1‘-y1 = rf(x0)+(1-r)f(x2)-f(x1)depends on the unknowny=f(x) TRC • Optimum criteria for the y=f(x) TRC • y‘-y expressions are to be minimized • instead of the usual yi=f(xi) i.e. diffi=0 !! • other targets can be defined • smoothness condition • repeatable measurements

  17. The compound minimum problem f(i) [i=0..255] are unknown Measurement conditions: M(j) = rjf(lowj)+(1-rj)f(highj)-f(backj) [j=1..N] Smoothness conditions: S(i) = f(i+1)+f(i-1)-2f(i) [i=1..254] Convex quadratic minimum problem F = i=1..N mjM(j)2 + i=1..254 siS(i)2 Minimized by a conjugate gradient method

  18. Additional questions • Setting the coefficients • weights m and s control the behaviour of f • Definition of triplets (lowi, highi, ratioi) • predefined triplets • optimal ‚next triplet‘, stop criterium • defined by the local and/or overall reliability • LOG-LOG coordinate system • Seems more natural • power function transformed to linear function • Additional degree of freedom • But: numerical and algorithmic problems

  19. Results • CRT monitor • R,G,B results by our method • Compared to simple power function • Perceivable deviation Derivative can deviate upto 0.4-0.6 !

  20. Results • Compared to spectro-photometer measurements • Absolute/relative data conversion • Accuracy acceptable • Mutual verification

  21. Conclusion, future work + Human based TRC measurement • Cheap solution • New implicit approach + Complements existing methods • Traditional gamma applet • Masking model [Tamura 2003] ? Missing absolute luminance values • By channel, cross effects • contrast value by human observation ? Preferring LOG-LOG type functions • Instead of spline-like (LIN-LIN) functions ? Combining with other methods (LIN-LIN, etc)
