    Abstract: A calibration system activates all or a majority of a display with the same value, such as with the same color. The camera is pointed at the display, but doesn't have to precisely pick up the whole display. The computer compares the pixel information received in the camera photosensor, and can store an appropriate correction factor. Not only does the user not have to precisely position the camera, jitter due to use hand movement is not a problem since this smoothes out the color information from the various pixels on the display, and actually improves the calibration. A target can be provided on the display to indicate if the user is properly pointing the camera at the display.
