| 20110134332 | Camera-Based Color Correction Of Display Devices - A method of generating a display from a plurality of color image display sources such as a projector or a video monitor. The non-linear color response is first determined for each projector/monitor by using a color camera or other sensor to capture a displayed image. Each of the display sources is then linearized using the inverse of the respective non-linear color response. A common reachable gamut is derived in an observed color space for each of the sources. A transform is determined that maps an observed gamut to a target device-specific color space for each of the display sources. The respective transform is then applied to color values input to each of the display sources to make more similar the observed color response of each of the displays. | 06-09-2011 |
