Title:
METHOD FOR COMPENSATING COLOR IN ACCORDANCE WITH CHANGE IN IMAGE BRIGHTNESS USING CAMERA COLOR CHARACTERISTIC CURVE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/123171
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for compensating a color in accordance with a change in image brightness using a camera color characteristic curve. More specifically, the present invention concerns the method comprising the steps of: (1) measuring brightness-color data reflecting the characteristics of a camera; (2) deriving a nonlinear characteristic curve of the camera by using the measured brightness-color data; and (3) performing color compensation proper to a visual characteristic by applying the derived nonlinear characteristic curve to an inputted image. The method of the present information is able to compensate a color of an image efficiently and reduce calculation quantity at the same time by using a nonlinear brightness response curve of a camera. In addition, the method is capable of providing a color compensation algorithm which has fast execution time and high accuracy for the proper installation thereof in the camera. Furthermore, the method can be used in actual software-based exposure bracketing.
