Abstract
Methods and systems herein provide for color conversion in the real domain from an input color space to an output color space using a color conversion table that includes color values defined in the output color space corresponding to color values in the input color space, a table of scaling factors, and a conversion engine operable to group the real domain image data into blocks of pixels. The conversion engine, for each block of pixels, converts a color value in the block of pixels from the input color space to the output color space according to the color conversion table, computes differences between the color value and color values of pixels in the block, scales the computed differences according to the table of scaling factors, and adds the scaled differences to the converted color values to convert the pixel color values to the output color space.
