Digital Color Imaging
This paper surveys current technology and research in the area of digital
color imaging. In order to establish the background and lay down terminology,
fundamental concepts of color perception and measurement are first presented
us-ing vector-space notation and terminology. Present-day color recording and
reproduction systems are reviewed along with the common mathematical models
used for representing these devices. Algorithms for processing color images for
display and communication are surveyed, and a forecast of research trends is
attempted. An extensive bibliography is provided
Pushing the Limits of 3D Color Printing: Error Diffusion with Translucent Materials
Accurate color reproduction is important in many applications of 3D printing,
from design prototypes to 3D color copies or portraits. Although full color is
available via other technologies, multi-jet printers have greater potential for
graphical 3D printing, in terms of reproducing complex appearance properties.
However, to date these printers cannot produce full color, and doing so poses
substantial technical challenges, from the shear amount of data to the
translucency of the available color materials. In this paper, we propose an
error diffusion halftoning approach to achieve full color with multi-jet
printers, which operates on multiple isosurfaces or layers within the object.
We propose a novel traversal algorithm for voxel surfaces, which allows the
transfer of existing error diffusion algorithms from 2D printing. The resulting
prints faithfully reproduce colors, color gradients and fine-scale details.Comment: 15 pages, 14 figures; includes supplemental figure
