A CRT monitor ICC profile based on matrix-look-up-table model

Abstract

The goal of ICC (International color consortium) color management system (CMS) is to reproduce color fidelity regardless of the hardware or platform used to capture, view or print them. The accuracy of profiles decides the precision of color conversion; therefore, creating device profiles accurately is very essential for color management. In this paper, according to the ICC standard format, we used Matrix-LUT (look up table) model, which can increase the color conversion precision to create monitor profile. In laboratory environment, we used X-Rite DPT92 to calibrate the monitor, and then we made about 1000 color patches and measured the RGB and the corresponding XYZ of each patch. We adopted linear interpolation method to establish the LUT between RGB and XYZ. The experimental results are good, and then we finished the monitor profile by the ICC format, realized CRT monitor color management.
