The present invention provides a technique for providing color corrected images to a user over a network. In particular, the present invention allows multiple image providers to provide color corrected images to a user when the user's computer and its associated devices are not calibrated and/or characterized, or the calibration and/or characterization data is not available over the network to the image providers. This abstract is provided for the sole purpose of complying with the rules requiring an abstract to allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure contained herein. This abstract is submitted with the express understanding that it will not be used to interpret or to limit the scope or the meaning of the claims.

Method and system for improved internet color

The present invention provides a technique for providing color corrected images to a user over a network. The user's computer and its associated devices may be remotely calibrated and or characterized and the data made available over the network to permit multiple image providers to provide color corrected images to a user. A notification technique is also provided to notify a user when the image or images being displayed is color corrected. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

System and method for providing high fidelity color images

Remote color characterization for delivery of high fidelity images

Compressed image files are partially preprocessed to expedite color correction and delivery of color corrected images. Color correction may be accomplished by processing only the luminance channel, only the color channels, or a combination of the luminance and color channels. A method for adjusting characteristics of a compressed image file including compressed characteristics elements and compressed image elements, includes: in the compressed image file, separating the compressed characteristics elements and the compressed image elements; decompressing one or more of the compressed characteristics elements; and adjusting the decompressed characteristics elements.

Method and system for fast image correction

The present invention provides a technique for modeling the tone reproduction curve of a flat panel screen such as an LCD. The technique employs a second order function to predict the luminance output as a function of the input voltage based upon two known input values.

This abstract is submitted with the express understanding that it will not be used to interpret or to limit the scope or the meaning of the claims.

Method and system for characterizing color display monitor output

A method and system for calibrating and characterizing an image capture device is disclosed. Using a calibrated display of known colorimetric properties, a feedback loop method and system is disclosed such that the image capture device capture device can be calibrated.
