This article aims to give a survey of the fundamentals of gamut mapping by
describing the cross-media color reproduction context in which it occurs, b
y giving definitions of terms used in conjunction with it, by describing it
s aims and by giving an overview of parameters that influence it. These par
ameters are primarily the choice of color space used, the category into whi
ch a gamut mapping algorithm belongs and whether the approach is image or m
edium dependent. A succinct summary is then given of the principal trends i
n gamut mapping studies conducted to date.
