Automated control and interpretation of colour reproduction

The paper considers various methodologies of estimating colour gamut of the image information reproduction systems, which provide high precision of determination qualitative and quantitative colour indices. A new approach to the automation of colour coordinates control based on the method of analytical integration and interpretation of colour reproduction with the help of colorimetric software and hardware appliance developed on C++ language in Visual Studio programming environment is presented in the paper. Practical application of the method provides the colour measurement with high calculation precision and the possibility of colour gamut visualization in MKO Lab system, as well as the interpretation of the data concerning colour parameters measurement between MKO XYZ and MKO Lab colorimetric systems. It also helps to assess the reproduction systems colour gamut from the qualitative and quantitative points of view and to compare parameters of various colour reproduction systems. The graphical interpretation of the reproduction systems colour gamut, the efficiency of analytical integration method while calculating colour gamut of reproduction systems, and the efficiency of its software implementation in software and hardware appliance are given.
