Abstract: A system includes a video display device and an image capture device, such as a miniature camera. The system corrects a real-time video image of an object within a near field region of the video display device, if that display device is displaying a primary image that alters the appearance of the near-field object. Displaying primary images having high red, blue, or green content may alter the appearance of the object to the capturing device. The system accesses the primary image to be displayed on the display device and derives an image characteristic for that image. The image characteristic may be compared to threshold values to derive a color correction score. The color correction score may be used to derive a correction color for the pixels in the real-time image of the object. These correction color pixels are used to reconstruct that image of the object, thereby removing the color alteration that resulted from the display of the primary image on the display device.
