System for distributing and controlling color reproduction at multiple sites
First Claim
1. A digital image processing system comprising:
- a first sensor that captures at least one two-dimensional image of a scene in a plurality of channels and with variable focus;
a second sensor that captures data related to at least part of said scene at or about a same time of capture of said two-dimensional image by said first sensor, wherein said second sensor responds to light in the same regions of the spectrum as said first sensor;
at least one video display for rendering said two-dimensional image in color and displaying a user interface enabling control of said system and expression of preferences for image processing;
one or more processors that execute one or more programs for controlling said first and second sensors, for utilizing said data of said second sensor in the processing of said two-dimensional image, and for storing said two-dimensional image in a file having a header, in which said header provides access to fields of data associated with processing said two-dimensional image, wherein said processing comprises conversion of said two-dimensional image in said plurality of channels into values for rendering on one or more rendering devices which comprises said at least one video display; and
an interface to an external computer system enabling transfer of at least said file.

Abstract
The system provides for controlling color reproduction of input color image in a network having nodes (or sites). The system distributes the input color image data from one of the nodes to other nodes, and provides data structures in the network. The system has means for providing color calibration data at each node characterizing output colors (colorants) of the rendering device of the node, and means for producing at each node, responsive to the color calibration data of the rendering device of the node, information for transforming the input color image data into output color image data at the rendering device of the node. The rendering device of each node renders a color reproduction responsive to the output color image data, wherein colors displayed in the reproduction at the rendering device of each node appear substantially the same within the output colors attainable by the rendering devices.

10. A digital image processing system comprising:
-
a first sensor that captures at least one two-dimensional image of a scene in a plurality of channels; a second sensor that captures data related to at least part of said scene at or about a same time of capture of said two-dimensional image by said first sensor, wherein said second sensor responds to visible light; at least one video display for rendering said two-dimensional image in color and displaying a user interface enabling control of said system and expression of preferences for image processing; one or more processors that execute one or more programs for controlling said first and second sensors, for utilizing said data of said second sensor in processing said two-dimensional image, and for storing said two-dimensional image in a file having a header, in which said header provides access to fields of data associated with processing said two-dimensional image, wherein said processing comprises conversion of said two-dimensional image in said plurality of channels into values for rendering on one or more rendering devices which comprises said at least one video display; and an interface to an external computer system enabling transfer of at least said file. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
