Color calibration chart acquisition
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- at a imaging device including a camera for acquiring a video and a display to display the video, the video of a physical color calibration chart physically located near a physical object within a scene, the color calibration chart adapted to permit identification of a color of interest of the object so long as the color calibration chart is within a selected quality threshold in the video;
processing in real-time frames of the video;
upon frames of the video including the color calibration chart, displaying user feedback to dynamically guide the user to make adjustments in the video acquisition so as to capture the color calibration chart within a selected quality threshold; and
upon capturing the color calibration chart within the selected quality threshold, signaling that the color calibration chart has been sufficiently captured so that the identification of the color of interest of the object within the video is able to be determined,wherein if the color calibration chart is failed to be captured within the selected quality threshold, the identification of the color of interest of the object within the video is unable to be determined.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to color calibration chart acquisition. In an example, a video acquired by an imaging device may be processed. The video may be analyzed to automatically detect a reproduction of a color calibration chart. Upon detection of a reproduction of the color calibration chart, it may be determined whether color calibration chart reproduction quality is within a selected quality threshold. Upon determining that color calibration chart reproduction quality is not within a selected threshold, user feedback may be provided, via the imaging device, to dynamically guide the user to make adjustments in the video acquisition in order to obtain a color calibration chart reproduction within the selected quality threshold.

5. A computer software product comprising a non-transitory tangible medium readable by a processor, the medium having stored thereon a set of instructions for obtain a reproduction of a color calibration chart, comprising:
-
a set of instructions which, when loaded into a memory and executed by the processor, causes processing a video acquired by an imaging device, the video of a physical color calibration chart physically located near a physical object within a scene, the color calibration chart adapted to permit identification of a color of interest of the object so long as the color calibration chart is within a selected quality threshold in the video; a set of instructions which, when loaded into a memory and executed by the processor, causes analyzing the video to automatically detect the color calibration chart within one or more first frames of the video; a set of instructions which, when loaded into a memory and executed by the processor, causes, upon detection of the color calibration chart, determining whether color calibration chart reproduction quality is within the selected quality threshold so that the identification of the color of interest of the object within the video is able to be determined; and a set of instructions which, when loaded into a memory and executed by the processor, causes, upon determining that color calibration chart reproduction quality is not within the selected threshold, providing user feedback, via the imaging device, to dynamically guide the user to make adjustments in the video acquisition in order to obtain the color calibration within the selected quality threshold, wherein if the color calibration chart is failed to be captured within the selected quality threshold, the identification of the color of interest of the object within the video is unable to be determined. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. An imaging device, comprising:
-
a camera; a display; a video acquisition engine to acquire a video via the camera of a physical color calibration chart physically located near a physical object within a scene, the color calibration chart adapted to permit identification of a color of interest of the object so long as the color calibration chart is within a selected quality threshold in the video; a video rendering engine to display a video stream based on the video acquired via the camera; and a chart capture engine to automatically capture the color calibration chart from the video acquired via the display, the chart capture engine continuously processing the video to; automatically detect the color calibration chart in a first frame of the video; upon detecting the color calibration chart, determining whether the color calibration chart is within the selected quality threshold so that the identification of the color of interest of the object within the video is able to be determined; and upon determining that the color calibration chart reproduction is outside the selected quality threshold, guide a user to make adjustments in the video acquisition engine, detect the color calibration chart in a second frame of the video acquired after the user has made the adjustments, and determine whether the color calibration chart reproduction is now within the selected quality threshold, wherein if the color calibration chart is failed to be captured within the selected quality threshold, the identification of the color of interest of the object within the video is unable to be determined. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
