Abstract:
In one example, an electronic signal is received from a target color measurement instrument that includes a plurality of color channels. A response of the target color measurement instrument to a light emitted by a target light emitting device is extracted from the signal. The response is calibrated to minimize a difference between the response and an output of a color matching function of a standard observer. Calibrating includes multiplying the response by a calibration matrix. The calibration matrix combines measurements of a first plurality of lights from a tunable light source and measurements of a second plurality of lights from the target light emitting device. A first subset of the measurements of the first plurality and second plurality of lights are made by the target color measurement instrument and a second subset of the measurements of the first plurality and second plurality of lights are made by a reference spectroradiometer.
Abstract:
Color calibration of color image rendering devices, such as large color displays, which operate by either projection or emission of images, utilize internal color measurement instrument or external color measurement modules locatable on a wall or speaker. A dual use camera is provided for a portable or laptop computer, or a cellular phone, handset, personal digital assistant or other handheld device with a digital camera, in which one of the camera or a display is movable with respect to the other to enable the camera in a first mode to capture images of the display for enabling calibration of the display, and in a second mode for capturing image other than of the display. The displays may represent rendering devices for enabling virtual proofing in a network, or may be part of stand-alone systems and apparatuses for color calibration. Improved calibration is also provided for sensing and correcting for non-uniformities of rendering devices, such as color displays, printer, presses, or other color image rendering device.
Abstract:
In a color imaging system, multiple rendering devices are provided at different nodes along a network. Each rendering device has a color measurement instrument for calibrating the color presented by the rendering device. A rendering device may be a printer in which the measuring of color samples on a sheet rendered by the printer is provided by a sensor coupled to a transport mechanism which moves the sensor and sheet relative to each other, where the sensor provides light from the samples to a spectrograph. A rendering device may also be a display having a member supporting a color measuring instrument for receiving light from an area of the screen. The color measuring instruments provide for non-contact measurements of color samples rendered on a display or a sheet, and are self-calibrating by the use of calibration references.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for colour recipe calculation for matt colour standards with the steps: A) experimentally determining reflection spectra R(exp) of the color standard, comprising a first reflection spectrum (SPIN) and a second reflection spectrum (SPEX), with an integrating sphere color measurement instrument, wherein said first reflection spectrum (SPIN) is obtained at (A1) d/8°—geometry with the specular component included, and said second reflection spectrum (SPEX) is obtained at (A2) d/8°—geometry with the specular component excluded; B1) calculating a recipe for the matt color standard based on the experimentally determined reflection spectrum R(exp) with the specular component included, which has been corrected for the specular component, or B2) comparing the experimentally determined reflection spectrum R(exp) with the specular component included, which has been corrected for the specular component, with reflection spectra associated to color recipes of a color recipe database for glossy color shades and identifying from said color recipe database a stored reflection spectrum which comes closest to the experimentally determined reflection spectrum R(exp) of the matt color standard, as well as the associated colour recipe; C) converting reflection spectra data of the experimentally determined reflection spectra (SPIN, SPEX) of the matt colour standard to gloss values, and D) converting the gloss values obtained to the amount of matting agent (MAA) with the assistance of previously prepared calibration curves for the available colorant system.

Abstract:
A method for generating a pixel filtering boundary required by the auto white balance (AWB) calibration is proposed. The method includes: taking a specific color temperature reference point as a center and dividing a G/B-G/R color space into six color regions having different color component relationships; based on a saturation calculating approach of a HSV color space, respectively identifying six color boundaries in the six color regions to generate a specific hexagonal filtering boundary, so that each color boundary has a predetermined saturation difference with the specific color temperature reference point; adopting the approach for generating the specific hexagonal filtering boundary to respectively identify multiple hexagonal filtering boundaries corresponding to other color temperature reference points; generating an enveloping boundary as a pixel filtering boundary based on the specific hexagonal filtering boundary and the multiple hexagonal filtering boundaries.

Abstract:
A light sensor is disclosed that includes a photosensor; a memory; a communication interface; and a controller coupled with the photo sensor, the communication interface, and the memory. The controller may be configured to perform a number of operations. For example, the controller may be configured to sample from the photosensor a light intensity of light within a first spectral range at a non-task location within an architectural space; and determine a change in the first spectral range output of a light source to produce a desired amount of light within the first spectral range at a task location based on the sensed light intensity of the color channel at the non-task location. In some embodiments, the task location and the non-task locations are different locations within the architectural space. The controller may also be configured to transmit the change in the color channel output to a light source.
