Abstract
An imaging method is provided which is capable of performing a color measurement easily and appropriately by using a camera. An imaging apparatus captures an image of a face of a user together with a correction device placed close to the face of the user, and identifies a part in the image of the face of the user for which a color measurement is to be performed. The imaging apparatus acquires a colorimetric value of the identified part and corrects the acquired colorimetric value by using the image of the correction device.
Claims17
An imaging method, comprising:
- capturing an image of a face of a person together with a correction device placed close to the face;
- identifying a part, for which a color measurement is to be performed, in the image of the face;
- acquiring a colorimetric value of the part;
- and
- correcting the colorimetric value using an image of a three-dimensional shape provided in the correction device,
- wherein the correcting is performed by referring to a predetermined range from an upper brightness level included in pixel information of the image of the three-dimensional shape.
An imaging method, comprising:
- capturing an image of a face of a person together with a correction device placed close to the face;
- identifying a part, for which a color measurement is to be performed, in the image of the face;
- acquiring a colorimetric value of the part;
- and
- correcting the colorimetric value using an image of the correction device,
- wherein the colorimetric value of the part is corrected by using an image of a two-dimensional pattern drawn on the correction device, and
- a posture state of the correction device is determined based on the image of the two-dimensional pattern, and the posture state is notified to the person.
An imaging apparatus comprising:
- a camera that captures an image of a face of a person together with a correction device placed close to the face;
- and
- a controller that identifies a part, for which a color measurement is to be performed, in the image of the face, acquires a colorimetric value of the part, and corrects the colorimetric value by using an image of a three-dimensional shape provided in the correction device,
- wherein controller corrects the colorimetric value by referring to a predetermined range from an upper brightness level included in pixel information of the image of the three-dimensional shape.
