Abstract:
An unevenness inspection apparatus including: an image pickup section obtaining a pickup image of a test object; an image generating section generating each of a color unevenness inspection image and a luminance unevenness inspection image based on the pickup image; a calculating section calculating an evaluation parameter using both of the color unevenness inspection image and the luminance unevenness inspection image; and an inspecting section performing unevenness inspection using the calculated evaluation parameter. The calculating section calculates the evaluation parameter in consideration of unevenness visibility for both color and luminance.
Abstract:
Provided is a luminance measurement method for accurately measuring luminance of each pixel even if pixel images of a display panel overlap each other on an imaging surface of a camera. A central exposure factor indicating luminance of the central part of the pixel image is calculated on the basis of an output of a picture element corresponding to the central part. A peripheral exposure factor indicating luminance of the peripheral part of the pixel image is calculated on the basis of an output of picture elements corresponding to the peripheral part of the pixel image is calculated, all pixels of the display panel are sorted into a plurality of groups, sequentially turned on one group after another, and imaged by the camera, and the luminance of all the pixels of the display panel is calculated based on this imaged image, the central exposure factor, and the peripheral exposure factor.
Abstract:
A projector that includes a plurality of laser light sources that emit laser lights of mutually differing colors, a combiner that combines the laser lights, a laser light scanner that projects an image onto a projection surface by scanning the laser lights combined by the combiner, a laser light detection unit, and a controller. The laser light detection unit further includes a first laser light detector and a second laser light detector. The controller calculates an amount of change in an optical axis of the laser lights based on a displacement of the irradiation position of the first diffracted light, calculates an amount of change in a wavelength of the laser lights based on the amount of change in the optical axis and a displacement of the irradiation position of the second diffracted light, and adjust an output ratio.

Described are systems for automatically adjusting a set of display settings. At least one image sample is displayed at a first display according to display settings of the first display. Electromagnetic radiation generated from the first display is collected. The electromagnetic radiation includes first image data related to the at least one image sample at the first display. An image sample is displayed at a second display according to display settings of the second display. Electromagnetic radiation generated from the second display is collected. The electromagnetic radiation includes second image data related to the image sample at the second display. A margin of error is determined between the first image data and the second image data.

Abstract:
A color processing apparatus comprises a storage which stores color information of a reference sample and the color characteristic of a monitor, a patch control unit which generates a plurality of color patch data having different colors based on the color information of the reference sample, and changes at least some of the plurality of color patch data based on a user instruction, and a patch output unit which corrects the plurality of color patch data based on the color characteristic of the monitor to output the plurality of corrected color patch data to the monitor. The patch control unit determines whether to acquire a color matching relation in a combination of the reference sample and the color patch data. When it is determined to acquire the color matching relation, the color matching relation in the combination is stored in the storage.
Abstract:
An apparatus, methods, and systems for multi-color projection or display for video or lighting applications. One aspect of the present invention comprises an algorithm for utilizing at least four primary light sources to represent a projected pixel color. The algorithm and associated system can be applied to both a natively monochromatic light source or traditional light sources filtered for their colored components. The algorithm can be used for either color sequential or parallel modes of operation. The algorithm takes input pixel data represented in a universal color coordinate system, performs a color transform, and disperses the results among parallel display devices or sequentially to a single device such that each pixel is presented by the combination of four or more primaries.
Abstract:
A device measures a spectral distribution with respect to each of a plurality of color charts, sets default values to band specification data, and computes a camera output signal based on spectral sensitivity of the multiband camera and spectral feature of light from each of the plurality of charts. The device computes a candidate value of a spectral estimation parameter from the measured spectral distribution of each color chart and the computed camera output signal. The device successively varies the band specification data from the default values to make an evaluation function approach a target value, determines a spectral estimation parameter corresponding to the band specification data when the evaluation function reaches the target value. The evaluation function is defined to correlate the measured spectral distribution of each color chart to a spectral estimation value computed from the candidate value of the spectral estimation parameter and the camera output signal.
