20110032340 | METHOD FOR CROSSTALK CORRECTION FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL (3D) PROJECTION - A method for crosstalk compensation of stereoscopic images for three-dimensional projection is disclosed. The method can be used for producing a stereoscopic presentation containing stereoscopic image pairs that incorporate density or brightness adjustments to at least partially compensate for crosstalk contributions from images exhibiting differential distortion. | 02-10-2011 |
20110032363 | METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATED COLOR MANAGEMENT IN DIGITAL CINEMA - Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, apparatus and system for digital cinema color management. In one embodiment, a digital cinema color management system includes a projection device configured to project image content and a color meter configured to measure color levels of the projected image content. A control device is also provided including a validation module configured for validating the measured color levels of the color meter for preventing the creation of erroneous correction data. A calibration module determines if calibration of the color levels is required and provides real-time corrective color information to a projector. | 02-10-2011 |
20110038042 | Method and system for crosstalk and distortion corrections for three-dimensional (3D) projection - A method for use with 3-dimensional or stereoscopic projection is disclosed, with crosstalk and differential distortion compensations provided for stereoscopic images in a presentation such that the projected images will have reduced crosstalk and differential distortion. | 02-17-2011 |
20110063727 | Method and system with indicating marks for projection film - Indicia are established on the film to clearly indicate locations where cuts for splices may and may not be properly made. These indicia are different from each other to signify whether a cut can or cannot be made in the vicinity of the respective indicia. Differences for these indicia can be exhibited in terms of one or more of a distinctive shape or size or orientation or pattern of the indicia. When cuts and splices are correctly performed, the resulting indicia in the vicinity of the splice match substantially one of the two original indicia. When cuts and splices are incorrectly executed, the resulting indicia in the vicinity of the faulty cut and splice will be a third indicia that is combination of portions of the two original indicia. Third indicia will be different from each of the two original indicia and will therefore be readily apparent to be indicative of the presence of an incorrect cut and splice. | 03-17-2011 |
20120069175 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE PROFILING AND CALIBRATION OF FILM SCANNERS - A system and method for calibrating a production film scanner is provided. The system and method provides for providing at least one first calibration frame on an intermediate film stock, providing at least one second calibration frame on a negative film stock, scanning the at least first and second calibration frames with a reference film scanner, scanning the at least first and second calibration frames with a production film scanner, and determining a compensation calibration factor from a first result of the scanning with the reference film scanner and a second result of the production film scanner. | 03-22-2012 |
20130194416 | METHOD AND SYSTEM OF ARCHIVING VIDEO TO FILM - A method and system are disclosed for archiving video content to film and recovering the video from the film archive. Video data corresponding to the content and a characterization pattern associated with the data are provided as encoded data, which is recorded onto a film for producing a film archive. The characterization pattern contains spatial, temporal and colorimetric information relating to the video data, and provides a basis for recovering the video content from the film archive. | 08-01-2013 |
20130194492 | Method and System for Producing Archiving on Film - A method and system are disclosed for archiving video content to film and recovering the video from the film archive. Video content and a characterization pattern associated with the content are provided as encoded data, which is recorded onto a film and processed to produce a film archive. By encoding the video data using a non-linear transformation between video codes and film density codes, the resulting film archive allows a film print to be produced at a higher quality compared to other film archive techniques. The characterization pattern contains spatial, temporal and colorimetric information relating to the video content, and provides a basis for recovering the video content from the film archive. | 08-01-2013 |
20140176743 | METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR PUBLISHING CREATIVE LOOKS AS THREE-DIMENSIONAL LOOKUP TABLES - Provided are a method, apparatus and system for publishing creative looks in a camera using three dimensional look-up tables. The system includes a user input device for defining a set of parameters directed to generating a creative look, a creative look generator for generating a respective three-dimensional lookup table for each set of defined parameters, each three-dimensional lookup table representing a respective creative look and a creative look publisher for enabling the selection of at least one creative look to be applied to at least one image captured by the camera. | 06-26-2014 |
20150062152 | 3-DIMENSIONAL LOOK-UP TABLE-BASED COLOR MASKING TECHNIQUE - A method for correcting colors in an image commences by first defining a set of Red-Green-Blue (RGB) color triplets corresponding to user-selected colors defining a designated are of interest in the image to undergo color correction. The set of RGB color triplets are mapped into in a color space defined by cylindrical coordinates to create a three-dimensional look-up table (3D-LUT) that represents a first color range for the designated area of interest. The 3D-LUT undergoes adjustment to establish a second color range. Thereafter, the image is rendered using the 3D-LUT to replace colors in the designated area of interest with colors in the second color range. | 03-05-2015 |
