Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of image testing technology, and in particular to a method, device and system for testing color values ​​of video image playback equipment. Background Art

[0002] At present, the image color quantization accuracy test of existing video players on the market, such as set-top boxes, Blu-ray players, VCD players, DVD players, game consoles, etc., requires that the tested device be connected to the image receiving and analyzing device through a multimedia audio and video interface, and the single or multiple pixel positions of the test point are manually clicked with a mouse, and the image receiving and analyzing device is used to read the color value "XYZ, RGB or YCbCr" of the pixel point at the manually clicked position, and the color value is recorded by manual handwriting, and then substituted into the color difference calculation formula script to calculate the color difference result, and then manually determined by subjective judgment to determine whether the calculation result meets the color value requirements of the relevant test standards. The number of pixels output by the video playback device is related to the image output resolution. The higher the output resolution, the more pixels there are. For example, if the video output resolution is high-definition "1920×1080p", the number of pixels is 1920×1080, which is equal to 2073600; if the video output resolution is ultra-high-definition 4K, that is, 3840×2160p, the number of pixels is 8294400. Therefore, if the test method only relies on manually clicking hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of pixels in the required test area to obtain color values ​​and manually record them, substitute them into the formula and make subjective judgments, it can not avoid the errors in the position of manually clicking pixels and the errors in the calculation process, and the test process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, which greatly increases the manual testing time and testing costs.
