Abstract
Images captured by a digital camera can be enhanced to account for distortions due to the camera itself and due to the monitor on which images will be displayed. First, a camera basis set, which is the response of the camera to a reference monitor when pixels are illuminated thereon, is constructed. The camera basis set will not change for a given camera. For a given end-user monitor, calibration software likewise constructs a display basis set. The display basis set will not change for a given monitor. Capture images are thereafter enhanced by first curve fitting the captured image to the camera basis set, which results in a coefficient space. The coefficient space is applied to the display basis set to construct the enhanced image which is output to the monitor.
