ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for squeezing an input hue, Hin, toward a region of preferred hue, Hpref, having a preferred chroma, Cpref, and luminance, Lpref, to restrict the rotation effect to a point in LCH space rather than an entire hue slice. This method involves defining a chroma weight as: Cweight=Gaussian(Cpref,Csigma); defining a luminance weight as: Lweight=Gaussian(Lpref,Lsigma); defining a hue weight as: Hweight=Gaussian(Hpref,Hsigma); defining an amount of hue adjustment as: HAdjust=ΔH*(Hweight*Cweight*Lweight); and finally, generating an output hue by applying hue adjustment to hue input such that: Hout=Hin−HAdjust.
