  • Patent number: 9437160
    Abstract: A system for automatic color matching of multiple displays in a multi-display system. A sensor observes the output energy of each of the displays in a multi-display system and measures the difference in the color responses for a given input color. This difference is used to derive a modification function that is applied to each display. The displays are modified accordingly, and then the color is displayed again. This process is repeated until the measured values from each of the displays are within a minimum measurement error tolerance, so that the differences in displayed colors observed among the displays are minimized.

  • Publication number: 20110134332
    Abstract: A method of generating a display from a plurality of color image display sources such as a projector or a video monitor. The non-linear color response is first determined for each projector/monitor by using a color camera or other sensor to capture a displayed image. Each of the display sources is then linearized using the inverse of the respective non-linear color response. A common reachable gamut is derived in an observed color space for each of the sources. A transform is determined that maps an observed gamut to a target device-specific color space for each of the display sources. The respective transform is then applied to color values input to each of the display sources to make more similar the observed color response of each of the displays.
