Apparatus and method for measurement, encoding and displaying of object color for digital imaging
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of adjusting at least one color of at least one object in a digital image comprising:
- a) providing the image containing the object and determining the chrominance values of the object in the image;
b) providing a reference data set comprising an illumination-dependent color of the object that represents the color of the object under a desired illumination condition;
c) adjusting the chrominance values of the object in the image using the reference data set to provide a different desired color of the object in the image that represents the color of the object under the desired illumination condition.

Abstract
Methods, systems, devices and the like for measuring, encoding and displaying of object color for digital imaging, to control the apparent color of an item under different lighting or display conditions. The present invention helps provide accurate color for such items, both on the internet and in other situations, and can, if desired, determine whether a display screen is accurately displaying the color and also correct the image on the screen if it is not accurate. Also, probes suitable for taking accurate measurements of the intrinsic color characteristics, or intrinsic wavelength-dependent response, of an object, and software or databases that provide information for a variety of lighting situations and light sources.
