ICC PROFILE ASSESSMENT WORKING GROUP

Charter: The mission of this group is to seek methods for assessing quality of ICC profiles.

Objectives:

1. Define a set of quality attributes for ICC profiles
2. Identify analytical methods for defining and investigating performance capabilities of valid ICC profiles. (A valid profile is one that conforms to the ICC specification.)
3. Investigate metrics that might quantify or qualify said performance characteristics
4. Recommend promising solutions to the ICC body for their consideration
5. Short term goal is to develop evaluation methods for use within the ICC
6. Longer term goal is to offer suggestions to users for evaluation

3. Recommending effective ways for operating systems, applications, and devices to use ICC color management in automation-required environments.
4. Recommending improvements to the ICC specification, and implied architecture, in order to improve such automation-required workflows.
5. Working closely with ISO/IEC JTC1 SC28, ISO TC130, IEC TC100 TA2, Ghent WG, and other standards committees to achieve workflow system-level color management automation.

1. Establishing what workflows are important.
2. Establishing the details of the workflows possible with various versions of ICC profiles (eg, v4-v4, v2-v4, v2-v2)
3. Establishing criteria by which we can evaluate the performance of the different workflows.
4. Collecting and evaluating v4 profiles, and constructing new v4 profiles as necessary to support the workflows.
5. Designing and performing one or more experiments to evaluate the impact of using different ICC profile versions on the performance of the different workflows.
