Gamut Boundary Distortion Arises from Quantization Errors in Color Conversion
This paper undertakes an in-depth exploration into the issue of quantization errors that occur during color gamut conversion within LED full-color display systems. To commence, a CIE-xyY colorimetric framework, which is customized to the unique characteristics of LED, is constructed. This framework serves as the bedrock for formulating the principles governing the operation of LED color gamuts. Subsequently, the conversions among diverse color spaces are scrutinized with great meticulousness. The core emphasis then shifts to dissecting how discrete control systems, in conjunction with quantization errors at low grayscale levels, precipitate the distortion of color gamut boundaries during the conversion process. The Laplacian operator is deployed to furnish a geometric comprehension of the distortion points, thereby delineating the topological discrepancies between the target and actual points. The quantitative analysis precisely delineates the correlation between quantization precision and the quantity of distortion points. The research endeavors to disclose the intricate relationships among quantization, color spaces, and colorimetric fidelity. This paper is conducive to the prospective calibration and rectification of LED display systems, furnishing a theoretical underpinning for the further enhancement of color reproduction in LED displays. Consequently, LED monitors can be rendered capable of satisfying the stringent accuracy requisites of advanced imaging and media.
