ABSTRACT:
A convex interpolation apparatus and method to map source color signals in a n-dimensional color space to target color signals in a m-dimensional color space includes finding a set of sample signals in the source color space whose convex hull encloses the given signal; determining the coefficients needed to express the given signal as a convex combination of the set of sample signals; and interpolating the source signal to obtain a target signal in the target color space by using the coefficients and the sample signals is the target color space that correspond to the sample signals selected in the source color space. The sample signals in both color spaces can be lattice points or non-lattice points. A method and apparatus are also provided which can not only determine if a point is enclosed by a convex hull of a set of points in a n-dimensional space, but also simultaneously derive the coefficients needed to express the given point as a convex combination of the set of points.
