A system and method for performing color correction based on physical measurements (or estimations) of color component spectra (e.g. red, green, blue color component spectra). A color correction system may comprise a spectrum sensing device, a color calibration processor, and a calculation unit. The spectrum sensing device may be configured to measure color component power spectra for pixels generated by one or more display devices on a display surface. The color calibration processor may receive power spectra for a given pixel from the spectrum sensing device and compute a set of transformation parameters in response to the power spectra. The transformation parameters characterize a color correction transformation for the given pixel. The color calibration processor may compute such a transformation parameter set for selected pixels in the pixel array. The calculation unit may be configured to (a) compute initial color values for an arbitrary pixel in the pixel array, (b) compute modified color values in response to the initial color values and one or more of the transformation parameter sets corresponding to one or more of the selected pixels, and (d) transmit the modified color values to the display device.

Methods, systems, and apparatus for mapping a nonspectral representation of a target color, such as an input color tuple, to a set of concentration values for a set of device-specific colorants. The invention includes using the input color tuple to derive a first set of colorant concentration values from a color lookup table; and refining the first set of colorant concentration values by an iterative non-linear process to generate a final set of colorant concentration values. The first set of colorant concentration values can derived by using an input color tuple as an index to obtain grid-point concentration values at two grid points of the color lookup table and calculating the first set of colorant concentration values as a linear interpolation of the grid-point concentration values. In an implementation that provides a color function table of color-additive function values, the iterative non-linear process can include iteratively (a) calculating an interim color tuple from an interim set of colorant concentration values and the color function table, the initial interim set of colorant concentration values being the first set of colorant concentration values, and (b) deriving an interim set of colorant concentration values from a difference between the input color tuple and the interim color tuple. The calculations can include calculating a partial derivative of an error function from the difference between the input color tuple and the interim color tuple; and using the partial derivative to derive a successor interim set of colorant concentration values from a current interim set of colorant concentration values.

A method and apparatus for perfectly lossless and minimal-loss interconversion of digital color data between spectral color spaces (RGB) and perceptually based luma-chroma color spaces (Y′CBCR) is disclosed. In particular, the present invention provides a process for converting digital pixels from R′G′B′ space to Y′CBCR space and back, or from Y′CBCR space to R′G′B′ space and back, with zero error, or, in constant-precision implementations, with guaranteed minimal error. This invention permits digital video editing and image editing systems to repeatedly interconvert between color spaces without accumulating errors.

The present invention uses fixed-point arithmetic with signed and unsigned rounding normalization at key points in the process to maintain reversibility.

The present invention relates to a unique color management method for calibrating and characterizing a light mixing system comprising a set of primary light modules emitting self-luminous color primaries, which may be intimately mixed to produce a batch color that matches a standard color. The radiant output of each self-luminous color primary, or channel, is modulated by a setting a light controller to a Digital-to-Analog-Conversion (“DAC”) value. In the event that the radiant output of the color primary channels is non-linearly proportioned to the DAC input values, it is useful to employ an innovative “iterative best-fit” method of simultaneously calculating admixtures of light from all color primaries that match a standard color. Otherwise, a matrix method based on matrix algebra may also be used to create a batch color that matches a standard color. A best fit tristimulus value method or best fit minimum RMSD can be used in conjunction with these spectral color matching methods. In addition, an optical feedback method may be used to correct systematic drift of the individual color primary channels.

This invention comprises the means for the capture of full spectrum images in an electronic camera without the use of color primary filters to limit the spectral color gamut of the captured image. The fundamental principle of the invention is that each pixel of the image sensor acts as an independent spectrophotometer and spectral separator.Electromagnetic energy enters though a slit or collimating optic.Electromagnetic energy gets diffracted into component spectra by diffraction grating spectrophotometer for each pixel of imageElectromagnetic energy leaves diffraction grating at different angles based on wavelength of the energySpectrophotometer separates light for each pixel into its spectral components onto photodetector line array elements.Individual line array elements which are activated determine the original radiance level of the light source containing that specific wavelength region. The sum of these regions determines the spectral signature of the light at that pixel element.Many pixels arranged in a two-dimensional matrix would generate the image frame. Sequencing frame yields a full-spectrum moving image.
