Abstract:
A color identifying display system having a lighting surface (111, 211, 501, 611) having an alterable apparent surface color, a color capture device (105, 205, 317, 507, 603) to capture a color of an object (109, 203, 305, 503) placed within a detection area, and a processor (113). The lighting surface (111, 211, 501, 611) and the color capture device (105, 205, 317, 507, 603) are coupled to the processor (113). The processor (113) analyzes the captured color to determine a prominent color of the object (109, 203, 305, 503) and to control a color of the lighting surface (111, 211, 501, 611) based on the determined prominent color. The color of the lighting surface (111, 211, 501, 611) may be adjusted to match the prominent color, complement the prominent color, or be analogous to the prominent color.
Abstract:
A colour selector device comprises means for detecting a colour of an object, with the possible association to an input identifying code, a memory containing a database relating to a plurality of reference colours, processing means operatively connected to said detecting means and to said memory to select at least one colour or an identifying code from said database, according to the colour of the object, and interfacing means for transmitting said at least one selected colour or identifying code or a representation thereof at the output from the device. A method for selecting colours automatically with processing means provides for a step of quantifying the match of the reference colours relevant to the colour of the object.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for a hair colour consultation or a hair colour simulation. According to the inventive method, a selection of a person's (11) desired hair colours (36) is represented on a display screen (14,15) or a touch screen (22,23), by means of a video camera (12), a computer (13) and at least one display screen or touch screen. Actual individual images (21) of the person (11) are continuously recorded by means of the video camera (12) and are transmitted into the computer (13) in real time, in a continuous image sequence. Automatic image editing and image processing is carried out for each individual image (21) by means of a device (31) wherein the computer identifies (13) the person's (11) hair region (32), changes the hair colour (33) of said hair region (32) according to pre-determined specifications, and the modified individual images (21) are represented in real time again on at least one display screen (14, 15) and/or touch screen (22,23).
Abstract:
A hair color advice system for forming a simulated image if a testee changes hair to a desired color and properly proposing a hair dye necessary to change the current hair color to a desired one, comprising (i) an image storing means for receiving and storing image information of the testee, (ii) an operation means for identifying a hair region of the testee's input image and forming a simulated image having the color of the hair region changed to a preset hair color, and (iii) a monitor (4) for outputting the input image and/or simulated image of the testee.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a lighting inspection apparatus and, more particularly, to a lighting inspection apparatus which is capable of rapid inspection of a lighting device, makes a user intuitively determine whether the lighting device is good or bad by marking and outputting a color coordinate value by color on a color coordinate graph, is capable of numericalizing and graphing the performance of the lighting device, is capable of confirming the status of real lighting by the user through a directly photographed image and is capable of judging the light uniformity through color pixel comparison by region of the image. According to an aspect of the lighting inspection apparatus to achieve the purpose of the present invention, the apparatus of the present invention includes: a light sensor unit for detecting illuminating light emitted from a lighting device which is a target to be inspected; a processor unit for calculating a color coordinate value of the illuminating light based on a sensor signal detected in the light sensor unit and determining whether the lighting device is good or bad based on the calculated color coordinate value; a user interface; and a display unit for displaying a measured result data on a screen. The display unit comprises: a first display unit for displaying the measured result as a numerical value and a second display unit for marking the position of the calculated color coordinate value on the color coordinate graph.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An optical testing method by using a PC(Personal Computer) camera is provided to measure luminous intensity, brightness, color temperature and illumination by calculating measuring value after reading memory of a video of a computer and to measure easily regardless of a distance and size of light source. CONSTITUTION: Luminous intensity, brightness, chromaticity, color temperature and illumination are measured by a PC(Personal Computer) and an exclusive program for a PC camera. Light of a light source is divided into three primary colors of red, blue and green and value of each color is stored to a memory of a video to show on a monitor of the computer after receiving from the PC camera. A calculating expression by the exclusive program measures luminous intensity, brightness, chromaticity, color temperature and illumination. Any light source like triangular, rectangular and oval shapes is measured.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A portable digital color recognition device is provided to reliably ensure mobility of the device, while minimizing test error by permitting the device to be less sensitive to the environment. CONSTITUTION: A portable digital color recognition device(100) comprises a sensor unit(200) for discriminating colors by using the light radiated to an object and reflected from the object; and a signal processing unit for outputting a control signal to the sensor unit so as to allow the sensor unit to emit light, and informing color of the object by using the color signal input from the sensor unit. The sensor unit includes a main body(210); a first tube(220) having an end fixed to the main body and the other end which is open and equipped with a rubber corrugated tube(221); a sensor fixing member which is T-shaped, inserted into the first tube and fixed to the main body of the sensor unit; a second tube(240) having an end with a stopper protrusion and the other end which is open, wherein the second tube is installed within the first tube in such a manner that the bottom surface of the top of the sensor fixing member contacts the stopper protrusion; an elastic support member and a plurality of switches interposed between an end of the main body and the stopper protrusion of the second tube; a plurality of light emitting elements arranged at the outer periphery of the upper surface of the sensor fixing member; and RGB sensors arranged at the center of the sensor fixing member.
