Fast Color Space Transformations Using Minimax Approximations
Color space transformations are frequently used in image processing,
graphics, and visualization applications. In many cases, these transformations
are complex nonlinear functions, which prohibits their use in time-critical
applications. In this paper, we present a new approach called Minimax
Approximations for Color-space Transformations (MACT).We demonstrate MACT on
three commonly used color space transformations. Extensive experiments on a
large and diverse image set and comparisons with well-known multidimensional
lookup table interpolation methods show that MACT achieves an excellent balance
among four criteria: ease of implementation, memory usage, accuracy, and
computational speed
