Estimating the term…
On the occasion of transmitting an image information from an image information generating unit to an image information output unit, an image file is composed of an image data (RGB data) used to display an image on a display of the image information generating unit, a color value data (XYZ data in accordance with the CIE) obtained by actually measuring at least one color of the image displayed on the display, a data on a position in the image where color measurement was performed, and a data (including image data format) of an information on the entire image file. In the image information output unit, the color value of the image displayed based on the image data is measured by means of a colormeter, and the displayed color can be adjusted to a color intended by an image creator by correcting the image data while comparing the obtained measurement value and the received color value data. A recipient can reproduce the image information in colors as intended by the image creator in an image information transmission system.
A method for transmitting an information on an image, comprising the steps of:
An image information generating unit comprising:
A program for causing a computer to function as an image display portion for displaying an image, an image data storage portion for storing a first image data used to display the image on the image display portion, a color designator for designating at least one color within the image displayed on the image display portion, a position calculator for calculating a position data representing a position or an area in the image where the color designated by the color designator is present, an image data input portion for inputting a second image data formed of color components of a color space enabling a measurement by a colormeter for the color designated by the color designator, and an image file generating portion for generating an image file by combining the first image data, the second image data and the position data.
An image information output unit comprising:
An image information output unit comprising:
A program for causing a computer function as an image information input portion for inputting an information on an image including a first image data used to display the image on the image display portion, a second image data formed of color components of a color space enabling a measurement by a colormeter for at least one color included in the image, and a data on a position or an area of the image where a color corresponding to the second image data is present, an image information storage portion for storing the information on the image inputted by the image information input portion, an image display portion for displaying the image using the first image data included in the information on the image, a color designator for designating a color possessing the second image data in the information on the image, a color measurement portion for measuring a color value of the color designated by the color designator which color is in the image displayed on the image display portion, and an image data correcting portion for comparing a color value data outputted from the color measurement portion and the second image data corresponding to the color value data and included in the information on the image and correcting the first image data included in the information on the image so that an error between the two data is equal to or smaller than a predetermined threshold value.
