Image processing methods and systems for fine art reproduction
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for processing images comprising the steps of:
- capturing a target image using an image capture device;
capturing an image of a reference using the image capture device;
directly measuring reflectance functions of said target image with a measurement device; and
processing said captured target image via a processor, said processing based on said directly measured reflectance functions and said captured image of said reference, to calculate a correction transform associated with said captured target image.

Abstract
A method and system for processing images to, for example, capture artwork includes capturing a target image and an image of a reference. The reflectance functions of the target image are then measured. The target image is processed, using the measured reflectance functions and the captured image of the reference, to calculate a correction transform associated with the captured target image.
