Abstract
Accurate measurements of the misconvergence of a color CRT are obtained using a monochrome CCD camera or the like and a common image. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, color misconvergence of a color video display is determined using a monochrome camera, by capturing a monochrome image of an output display displayed on the color video display. For each of multiple different colors, information from the monochrome image is processed to identify a displayed feature or feature pattern of that color, and a position of that displayed feature or feature pattern is determined. Then a difference in position of a feature or feature pattern of a first color and a feature or feature pattern of a second color is determined. The effects of color crosstalk, video/image jitter, and lens distortion are all eliminated or minimized.
