ICC Research Portal

The ICC Research Portal connects students, researchers, academics and company-based scientists who are able to provide guidance on particular topics.

The list of topics below represents some current issues of interest to ICC and the colour management community. If you are interested in participating in any of these, either by carrying out a research project or by providing guidance or resources, please contact the ICC Technical Secretary.

ID#	Topic
01	Evaluate the performance of a colour measurement instrument, applying the methods in ISO 23031
01	Demonstrate a method for measurement and correction for fluorescence in printed reproductions
02	Evaluate methods for computing weighting functions for tristimulus integration
03	Evaluate methods for bandpass correction of spectral measurements
04	Compare colour difference metrics for luminances above diffuse white
05	Derive a scale of just-noticeable difference for standard and high dynamic range displays
06	Evaluate colour difference formulas for 3D objects
07	Evaluate the use of AI in predicting visual difference between colour images
08	Evaluate spectral sensitivity based approaches for camera characterization
09	Compare different input characterization charts including ColorChecker and PMCC for camera characterization
10	Evaluate methods to generate a characterization for multi-channel data: spectral, 6-colour camera, multi-primary display or ncolour printer
11	Compare AI/machine learning methods for device characterization with other approaches including polynomial regression and look-up tables
12	Evaluate methods of characterizing back-lit prints
13	Create and evaluate an ICC profile which encodes an adaptive gain curve

18	Implement and evaluate a method for partial adaptation in an ICC workflow
18	Implement and evaluate a profile for a custom observer
19	Develop a rapid method of generating individual observer colour matching functions
20	Evaluate sensitivity to the facial colour change of colour normal and deficient observers
21	Investigate 2D appearance attributes such as vividness, depth, clarity...
22	Investigate colourfulness adaptation in images or lighting environment
23	Investigate individual colour vision using colour stimuli on a confusion line for 3D objects
24	Develop an interactive method for testing people's colour vision (dynamic ishihara plates)

This list is updated regularly. If you have a colour management-related research topic that you are able to provide guidance or resources for, please contact the ICC Technical Secretary.
