Abstract

A method of improving an initial color filter comprises a numerical generation of sinusoidal spectra. Two steps of selecting said spectra are then executed. The first selection is carried out according to a criterion of colorimetric similitude with respect to the initial filter. The second selection is carried out according to the capacity of dummy filters corresponding to each spectrum to restore hues in a natural manner. To do this, observations of samples of hues through each dummy filter are simulated numerically, using a color appearance model to take account of a visual perception of a human observer. In this way, an improved filter is determined, which has a color close to that of the initial filter and which affords a natural rendition of hues.
