Hybrid gamut mapping and dithering algorithm for image reproduction

Abstract

This paper discusses the problems and solutions related to the reproduction of color images on displays. We focus on the problems of false contouring and gamut mismatches. A novel system consisting of a post-dithering algorithm and a hybrid gamut mapping algorithm is proposed to deal with the respective problems. The experimental results show that the proposed system mitigates the false contouring and increases the contrast in images.
