Abstract
A method and system for processing images to, for example, capture artwork includes capturing a target image and an image of a reference. The reflectance functions of the target image are then measured. The target image is processed, using the measured reflectance functions and the captured image of the reference, to calculate a correction transform associated with the captured target image.
Claims21
A method for processing images comprising the steps of:
- capturing a target image using an image capture device;
- capturing an image of a reference using the image capture device;
- directly measuring reflectance functions of said target image with a measurement device;
- and
- processing said captured target image via a processor, said processing based on said directly measured reflectance functions and said captured image of said reference, to calculate a correction transform associated with said captured target image.
An image processing system comprising:
- an image capture device for capturing a target image and an image of a reference;
- and
- a measurement device for directly measuring reflectance functions of said target image;
- and
- a processor for processing said captured target image, based on said directly measured reflectance functions of said target image and said captured image of said reference, to calculate a correction transform associated with said captured target image.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with a computer program, containing instructions which cause a processing system to perform the steps of:
- capturing a target image using an image capture device;
- capturing an image of a reference using the image capture device;
- directly measuring reflectance functions of said target image with a measurement device;
- and
- processing said captured target image via a processor, said processing based on said directly measured reflectance functions and said captured image of said reference, to calculate a correction transform associated with said captured target image.
A system for processing images comprising the steps of:
- means for capturing a target image;
- means for capturing an image of a reference;
- means for measuring reflectance functions of said target image;
- and
- means for processing said captured target image, based on said measured reflectance functions and said captured image of said reference, to calculate a correction transform associated with said captured target image.
