Patent ID: 7397588

Claim:
A method of generating a hue slice look-up table for a color management system, wherein colors are represented in a color appearance space, comprising the steps of: obtaining each of a plurality of vertex points on a gamut boundary surface formed by geometrical shapes and determining a hue angle for each of the obtained vertex points; obtaining hue slice points for hue slices at each corresponding vertex point hue angle by determining points where edge portions of the geometric shapes forming the boundary surface intersect the hue angle; ordering the hue slice points of each hue slice corresponding to each hue angle by determining an angular altitude of each hue slice point relative to a reference point along a neutral axis; and populating the hue slice look-up table with vertex point hue slices at the corresponding vertex point hue angles by inserting the sorted hue slice points into the hue slice look-up table.
