Abstract
A system and method of generating a color correction matrix (CCM) for an image sensor are disclosed. Quantum efficiency (QE) spectra of pixels of the image sensor illuminated by a physical light source are measured. Subsequently, color values of the image sensor and color values in a predetermined color space are determined according to the QE spectra and predetermined reference data essential for deriving the color values. Finally, the CCM for the image sensor is generated by applying a fitting algorithm on the color values of the image sensor and the color values in the predetermined color space.
