Color conversion apparatus, imaging apparatus, storage medium storing color conversion program, and storage medium storing imaging program

An imaging apparatus for converting a color of a taken image displayed on a display device in accordance with a position indicated on the display device, the imaging apparatus comprising:

• an image capture device configured to capture at least one image;
• a display that is configured to display an image captured by the image capture device in substantially real time;
• a processing system that includes at least one processor, the processing system configured to:
• receive an input position based on the position indicated on the display device;
• obtain a hue of the image corresponding to the input position;
• set a predetermined hue range, with the obtained hue at a center of the predetermined hue range;
• change at least one of saturation, brightness, hue with respect to a pixel of the image that has a hue within the conversion target range;
• and
• output a resultant image to the display.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer readable instructions for adjusting an image on a computing system that includes at least one processor and at least one display, the stored instructions comprising instructions that are configured to:

• display a taken image that is taken by an image capture device that is configured to take an image of a vicinity on the display device in real time;
• obtain an input position associated with the display device from a user input device;
• obtain a hue of the taken image corresponding to the obtained input position;
• set a predetermined hue range having the obtained hue at a center thereof as a conversion target range;
• change at least one of saturation, brightness, and hue with respect to a pixel of the taken image which has a hue within the conversion target range;
• and
• display a resultant image on the display device.

A color conversion apparatus for performing color conversion on an image based on an input position indicated by an input device, the apparatus comprising:

• a display device that is configured to display the image;
• a processing system that includes at least one processor, the processing system configured to:
• obtain the input position;
• obtain a hue value of the image corresponding to the obtained input position;
• set a hue range where the obtained hue value is substantially in the center of the hue range;
• change a color property of a pixel of the image which has a hue within the hue range, the color property being at least one of saturation, brightness, and hue;
• and
• output a resultant image to the display device based on the changed color property.

A method of setting color properties on an image, the method comprising:

• displaying a first image on a display;
• obtaining an input position that is provided at least in part based on user input through a user input device;
• determining a hue within the first image that corresponds to the obtained input position;
• calculating a hue range where the determined hue is at a center of the calculated hue range;
• modifying a color property of a pixel within the first image where a hue of the pixel is within the calculated hue range;
• and
• outputting a modified image based on results of modifying the color property of the pixel onto the display,
• wherein the color property includes at least one of saturation, brightness, and/or hue.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer readable instructions for adjusting an image on a computing system that includes at least one processor and at least one display, the stored instructions comprising instructions that are configured to:

• output a first image on a display, the first image including a plurality of pixels, each with an associated hue value;
• select at least one of the plurality of pixels based on user input;
• determine a hue associated with the selected at least one of the plurality of pixels;
• calculate a hue range where the determined hue is substantially in a center of the calculated hue range;
• locate at least one additional pixel of the plurality of pixels that has an associated hue value within the hue range;
• set a color property of the at least one additional pixel, where the color property includes saturation, brightness, and/or hue of the at least one pixel;
• and
• output a modified image based on results of modifying the color property of the at least one additional pixel.

An image display system, the system comprising:

• a display device configured to output an image;
• a user input device configured to accept user input of a position;
• a processing system that includes at least one processor, the processing system configured to:
• determine a hue within the image that corresponds to the position;
• calculate a hue range where the determined hue is at a center of the calculated hue range;
• modify a color property of a pixel within the image where a hue of the pixel is within the calculated hue range;
• and
• update the image based on the modified color property of the pixel, wherein the color property includes at least one of saturation, brightness, and/or hue.
