Uniform Color Appearance Model

In this paper, a new color appearance model, the Uniform Color Appearance Model, is proposed for color reproduction application in graphic art. The goal of this work is to provide a solution to the limitations of the traditional color reproduction technology in color appearance technology. This new model incorporates a simplified chromatic adaptation transformation with a generalized tonal reproduction and color correction. An expanded Munsell color space is applied for color appearance definition and color correction. It is capable to account for the changes in media and viewing conditions, and to manipulate color in a perceptual uniform color manner. This new model is referred to as the Uniform Color Appearance Model.
