  • Publication number: 20210410251
    Abstract: A method comprises obtaining (201) media content and information about the media content and selecting (203) a color extraction method from multiple color extraction methods based on the obtained information. The media content comprises video content and the color extraction methods differ from each other in that they extract different colors from the same pixels. The method further comprises extracting (205) a color from one or more frames of the video content by applying the selected color extraction method and determining (207) one or more light effects to be rendered on one more light sources while the one or more frames are being rendered. The one or more light effects are determined based on the extracted color. The method also comprises storing (209) a light script specifying the one or more light effects and/or controlling (211) the one or more light sources to render the one or more light effects.

  • Publication number: 20210378076
    Abstract: A system is configured to sequentially turn on each of a plurality of sets (13-15) of one or more light sources and capture an image (53) of a spatial area comprising the plurality of sets of one or more light sources. Each of the images captures a similar or same spatial area and comprises only one (15) of the plurality of sets of one or more light sources in a turned-on state. The system is further configured to combine the images into a combined image. The combined image comprises each of the plurality of sets of one or more light sources in a turned-on state.
