Color calibration chart acquisition

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;
• a set of instructions which, when loaded into a memory and executed by the processor, causes analyzing the video to automatically detect a reproduction of 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 a reproduction of the color calibration chart, determining whether color calibration chart reproduction quality is within a selected quality threshold;
• 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 a 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 a color calibration chart reproduction within the selected quality threshold.

An imaging device, comprising:

• a camera;
• a display;
• a video acquisition engine to acquire a video via the camera;
• a video rendering engine to display a video stream based on a video acquired via the camera;
• and
• a chart capture engine to automatically capture a reproduction of a color calibration chart from the video acquired via the display, the chart capture engine continuously processing the video to:
• automatically detect a color calibration chart reproduction in a first frame of the video;
• upon detecting the color calibration chart reproduction, determining whether the color calibration chart reproduction is within a selected quality threshold;
• 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 an additional color calibration chart reproduction in a second frame of the video acquired after the user has made the adjustments, and determine whether the additional color calibration chart reproduction is within the selected quality threshold.
