A method includes controlling an integrated camera of a mobile device to detect a plurality of fiducial markers displayed as part of a test pattern on a display surface of a color display device, wherein the test pattern is one of a plurality of test patterns, estimating a position of the integrated camera relative to the display surface, using the plurality of fiducial markers, augmenting a live image of the test pattern on a display of the mobile device with an overlay, controlling, in response to a position of the overlay being aligned on the display of the mobile device with the live image of the test pattern, the integrated camera to capture an image of the test pattern, and calculating an adjustment to a color setting of the color display device, wherein the adjustment is calculated using information extracted from the image.

Calibration of a color display device

In one or more implementations, the apparatus, systems and methods disclosed herein are directed to calibrating a smart phone with an arbitrary phone case for color lookup applications, wherein the calibration process includes obtaining, with the smartphone without the case equipped, a first measurement data set that includes at least one measurement of each of a black, white and grey calibration target; obtaining, with the smartphone with the case equipped, at least three exposure measurements of a white calibration target at least three different exposure times; calculating an optimized exposure time using at least the at least three exposure measurements; obtaining, with the smartphone with the case equipped, a second measurement data set that includes at least one measurement of each of a black, white and grey calibration target at the optimized exposure time; generating fitting parameters from the first and second measurement datasets; and storing the generated fitting parameters and optimized exposure time in at least one of a local or remote data storage device.
