Spectrocolorimeter imaging system

Abstract:

A spectro-colorimeter system for imaging pipeline is provided, the system including a camera system; a spectrometer system; and a controller coupling the camera system and the spectrometer system. In some embodiments the camera system is configured to provide a color image with the first portion of the incident light. Also, in some embodiments the spectrometer system is configured to provide a tristimulus signal from the second portion of the incident light. Furthermore, in some embodiments the controller is configured to correct the color image from the camera system using the tristimulus signal from the spectrometer. An imaging pipeline method for using a system as above is also provided. Further, a method for color selection in an imaging pipeline calibration is provided.
