A study of digital camera colorimetric characterisation based on polynomial modelling
نویسندگان
چکیده
The digital camera is a powerful tool to capture images for use in image processing and colour communication. However, the RGB signals generated by a digital camera are device-dependent, i.e. different digital cameras produce different RGB responses for the same scene. Furthermore, they are not colorimetric, i.e. the output RGB signals do not directly correspond to the device-independent tristimulus values based on the CIE standard colorimetric observer. One approach for deriving a colorimetric mapping between camera RGB signals and CIE tristimulus values uses polynomial modelling and is described here. The least-squares fitting technique was used to derive the coefficients of 3× n polynomial transfer matrices yielding a modelling accuracy typically averaging 1 Δ E units in CMC(1:1) when a 3× 11 matrix is used. Experiments were carried out to investigate the repeatability of the digitising system, characterisation performance when different polynomials were used, modelling accuracy when 8-bit and 12-bit RGB data were used for characterisation and the number of reference samples needed to achieve a reasonable degree of modelling accuracy. Choice of characterisation target and media and their effect on metamerism have been examined. It is demonstrated that a model is dependent upon both media and colorant and applying a model to other media/colorants can lead to serious eye-camera metamerism problems.

The RGB signals generated by different cameras are not equal for the same scene. Therefore, cameras are characterized based on a CIE standard colorimetric observer. One method of deriving a colorimetric characterization matrix between camera RGB output signals and CIE XYZ tristimulus values is least squares polynomial modeling. Yet, this involves tedious experiments to obtain a camera transfer ...
