Abstract

A method of color conversion includes providing a first color domain input signal set having plural input signals; sorting the input signals of the first color domain input signal set according to signal intensity; designing and generating plural 1-D look-up table sets for color polyhedrons; selecting a set of look-up tables for use with a specific color polyhedron, wherein said selecting is a function of a section of the polyhedron determined as a function of the input signal set; looking up values in the look-up table set as a function of the input signal set; generating weights as a function of the sorted signal intensities; and interpolating the output from the selected look-up tables as a function of the selected look-up table and the generated weights to produce a color domain signal set which is converted to a desired color domain signal set.
