A system and methodology for the high-fidelity display of artwork images

A system for the high-fidelity reproduction of artwork images, the system comprising:

• a lighting controller configured for generating a plurality of simulated ambient lighting parameters and controlling at least one light using a lighting controller according to the plurality of ambient lighting parameters to simulate a plurality of simulated ambient lighting conditions;
• an image capture controller configured for, for each ambient lighting condition:
• capturing an artwork image of a physical artwork using a camera;
• displaying the artwork image using a studio digital display;
• capturing a digital display image of the studio digital display displaying the artwork image using a camera;
• an image adjustment controller configured for:
• comparing the artwork image and the digital display image to calculate at least one image parameter delta representative of the visible difference between the artwork image and the digital display image;
• calculating at least one image adjustment parameter to minimise the at least one image parameter delta;
• a display controller at a display location configured to:
• receive the artwork image along with a plurality of image adjustment parameters and respective simulated ambient lighting parameters across a wide area network;
• sense at least one actual ambient lighting parameter of an actual and would lighting condition at the display location using a sensor;
• and
• obtaining the at least one image adjustment parameter using the at least one actual ambient light in parameter, wherein the system is configured for adjusting the artwork image using the at least one image adjustment parameter to generate an adjusted artwork image and displaying the adjusted artwork image using a display location digital display.
