  • Publication number: 20080025599
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for providing calorimetric information are provided. A camera photographs an image including a desired calorimetric portion. A controller computes a mean color value of the desired colorimetric portion from the photographed image and retrieves a colorimetric value mapped to the computed mean color value from a pre-stored color table. If the colorimetric value mapped to the computed mean color value is retrieved from the pre-stored color table, a display receives the retrieved calorimetric value from the controller and outputs the colorimetric value as colorimetric information of the desired calorimetric portion.
