Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Data which represents a color space is input, a dataset which represents visual uniformity in each of a plurality of color areas is acquired, and control points which indicate a control region including the plurality of color areas corresponding to the dataset are set on the color space. Then, using the control points and dataset, the color space is corrected to be shrunk.
