Abstract
An electronic image capture system for capturing a sequence of images, the system includes a camera that captures a sequence of incoming incident light on a sensor and records the sequence of images as wide gamut image data. A processor receives the wide gamut image data and processes the image data to provide a film-like image sequence.
Claims15
An electronic image capture system for capturing a sequence of images, the system comprising:
- (a) a camera that captures a sequence of incoming incident light on a sensor and records the sequence of images as wide gamut image data, wherein the wide gamut data is dependent upon a dynamic range, spectral responsitivity, and spatial resolution of the sensor, and wherein the wide gamut data exceeds ITU-R 601 standard video format associated with bandwidth limitation;
- and
- (b) a processor that receives the wide gamut image data and processes the image data to provide a film image attribute profile corresponding to an output image sequence, and wherein the film image attribute profile closely emulates characteristics of film.
A method for capturing a sequence of images, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) capturing a sequence of incoming incident image data on a sensor of the camera and for recording the sequence of images as wide gamut image data, wherein the wide gamut data is dependent upon a dynamic range, spectral responsitivity, and spatial resolution of the sensor, and wherein the wide gamut data exceeds ITU-R 601 standard video format associated with bandwidth limitation;
- and
- (b) receiving the wide gamut image data and processing the data to provide a film image attribute profile corresponding to an output image sequence, and wherein the film image attribute profile closely emulates characteristics of film.
