Method for collecting data for color measurements from a digital electronic image capturing device or system
First Claim
1. A method for providing a color measurement using a digital image-capturing device comprising:
- selecting a target area within a field of view of the image-capturing device, the target area containing pixels, generating brightness values for at least the pixels in the target area, accumulating the brightness values of the pixels in the target area; and
determining a pixel value representative of the brightness of the pixels in the target area.

Abstract
A method for providing an intensity or brightness measurement using a digital image-capturing device comprising: selecting a target area within a field of view of the image-capturing device, the target area containing pixels; determining the brightness of pixels in the target area; accumulating the brightness values of the pixels in the target area; and determining a pixel value representative of the pixels in the target area. A device for making color measurements comprising an image-capture device, a processor or logic device, and a memory location for accumulating color data, and the processor or logic device is programmed to perform color measurements by accumulating the data for pixels located in the target area in memory, and determining a representative color value.

- 17. A device for making color measurements comprising an image-capture device, a processor or logic device, and a memory location for accumulating color data, wherein the processor or logic device is programmed to perform color measurements by identifying pixels in a target area, accumulating the brightness values for the pixels located in the target area in memory, and determining a representative color value.

19. A device for measuring the color of a target area in an image comprising:
-
a housing including an image-capture device, a processor or logic device, a memory location, and a platen having an aperture therein through which the color measurement is made, the housing being mounted to reciprocate with respect to the platen such that in a first position the housing is spaced from the platen and in the second position the housing encloses the aperture in the platen to provide a light-tight seal for the aperture. - View Dependent Claims (20)
