Abstract
A color management module which provides color values in a destination color space by interpolation of a LUT that maps from color values in a source color space to corresponding color values in the destination color space. The LUT includes cells corresponding to color values within a spectrum locus and color values outside the spectrum locus. The LUT is populated differently for cells within the spectrum locus and for those outside the spectrum locus. For cells within the spectrum locus, color values are calculated using a color transform constructed based on device profiles for the source device and for the destination device, and corresponding cells of the LUT are populated based on the calculated values. For cells outside of the spectrum locus, an artificial neural network is trained using the calculated color values, and the corresponding cells are populated based on outputs of the trained neural network.
