Digital camera filter design for colorimetric and spectral accuracy

Spectral Estimation of Printed Colors Using a Scanner, Conventional Color Filters and applying backpropagation Neural Network

Reconstruction the spectral data of color samples using conventional color devices such as a digital camera or scanner is always of interest. Nowadays, multispectral imaging has introduced a feasible method to estimate the spectral reflectance of the images utilizing more than three-channel imaging. The goal of this study is to spectrally characterize a color scanner using a set of conventional...

Methods of Spectral Reflectance Reconstruction for A Sinarback 54 Digital Camera

There is an urgent need to build digital image databases with adequate colorimetric accuracy for museums, achieves and libraries. Traditional colorimetric imaging suffers from the possibilities of metameric problem, while spectral imaging can facilitate accurate tristimulus estimation and possibilities for spectral reconstruction of each pixel. Spectral image archives can be used to render accu...

Modifications of a Sinarback 54 Digital Camera for Spectral and High-Accuracy Colorimetric Imaging: Simulations and Experiments

Spectral imaging using a commercial colour-filter array digital camera

A multi-year research programme is underway to develop and deliver spectral-based digital cameras for imaging cultural heritage at the National Gallery of Art, Washington DC, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. The cameras will be used for documentation, production imaging, and conservation science. Three approaches have undergone testing: a liquid-crystal tunable filter (LCTF) coupled with...

Camera Color Correction Using Two-Dimensional Transforms

For digital camera systems, transforming from the native camera RGB signals into an intermediate working space is often required, with common examples involving transformations into XYZ or the sRGB. For scene-linear camera signals, by far the most common approach utilizes 3x3 matrices. For color pipelines designed for Rec709 displays, matrix-based input transforms are capable of producing reaso...
