Patent ID: 8780409

Claim:
A method for processing black point compensation (BPC) parameters for a color image to be printed so as to enhance image quality of the color image, the method being implemented in a computer system comprising one or more processors configured to execute one or more computer program modules, the method comprising: analyzing image content of a received color image to identify one or more performance attributes to be considered during a black point compensation parameters processing procedure, wherein the performance attributes estimate an effect of the black point compensation parameters on the image quality of the received color image; selecting, based on the identified performance attributes, a black point compensation (BPC) algorithm to be used during the processing procedure; deriving a model using the identified performance attributes, the model being configured to estimate relationships between the black point compensation parameters of the selected black point compensation (BPC) algorithm and the identified performance attributes; maximizing the performance attributes of the derived model so as to process the black point compensation parameters for the color image; and using the processed black point compensation parameters to construct output device profiles.
