Publication number: 20240078708Abstract: Disclosed is a method for acquiring a preferred memory color of an object and a standard color chart of the preferred memory color. The method comprises the following steps: collecting an original image of a target object with a representative memory color and a spectral reflectance distribution curve of a measured surface color of the target object; rendering the original image to acquire a group of experimental images; acquiring evaluation data of memory color preference of a subject based on the experimental images; obtaining a coordinate value of the preferred memory color; further, selecting a pigment combination of color patches according to the measured spectral reflectance distribution curve of a memory object, and acquiring a color formula of the color patches of the preferred memory color in an experiment from the combination, so as to realize the acquisition of a memory color chart.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Ming Ronnier LUO, Mingkai CAO

Publication number: 20160371839Abstract: According to the present invention, firstly multiple reference parameter values of each color sample in a color chart are set, or a photograph and a measurement are performed on a standard color chart or a user-defined color chart in a certain standard lighting environment, multiple reference parameter values, SPD (?)×R (?) and brightness of each color sample are obtained. Then the SPD (?)×R (?) and the brightness of each color sample are reproduced by using a spectral tunable lighting source. Then each reproduced color sample is photographed by using the camera under the same settings to obtain multiple reproduced parameter values of each color sample. The two groups of parameter values are compared and a color calibration model is established. Finally color calibration of each batch of camera modules is implemented without the helping of a color chart and standard lighting environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2016Publication date: December 22, 2016Inventors: Ming Ronnier LUO, Binyu WANG

Patent number: 7555160Abstract: A method, combination or apparatus for compensating for or predicting the shift in the human perception of color which occurs when the color is seen on a small surface area as compared with when it is seen extending over of large surface area. The compensation or prediction is performed by increasing (compensation) or decreasing (prediction) the lightness and chroma of the color in a specified way. The invention allows choosers of color to take account of the shifts when making their choice of colors and is useful in choosing colors for paints, plastics, textiles or illuminated surfaces.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2005Date of Patent: June 30, 2009Assignee: Imperial Chemical Industries PLCInventors: Ming Ronnier Luo, Kaida Xiao, Changjun Li
