Area of Science:

• Color Science
• Display Technology
• Image Processing

Background:

• Accurate color reproduction on displays is challenging under varying ambient illumination.
• Existing methods struggle with the complex relationship between display signals and emitted light spectra.

Purpose of the Study:

• To improve the accuracy of color reproduction under different ambient lighting conditions.

Main Methods:

• Developed a model linking RGB values to display emission spectra and its inverse.
• Estimated display white points using emission and ambient light spectra.
• Employed dimensionality reduction for spectra and expansion for RGB values to address ill-posed problems.

Main Results:

• Achieved higher accuracy in spectral estimation compared to existing methods.
• Successfully addressed the color correction problem under ambient light.
• Demonstrated effectiveness through validation images.

Conclusions:

• The proposed spectral-based method significantly improves color correction accuracy for displays under ambient light.
