Color mapping techniques for color imaging devices

Disclosed embodiments relate to techniques for color gamut mapping when an input signal transmitting color visual images has a different color gamut than does the output display device. Polynomial rubber-sheet mapping may be used to translate the input color gamut to the output color gamut on a hue-by-hue basis within a three-dimensional perceptual color space. Also, a memory color look-up table may be used to preserve memory colors in the input gamut which are capable of reproduction within the output gamut. By using such techniques alone or in combination, it may be possible to more effectively map an input color gamut to a different output color gamut with improved calorimetric accuracy.

Logarithmic light intensifier for use with photoreceptor-based implanted retinal prosthetics and those prosthetics

InactiveUS20070016294A1Maximize electrical stimulationAvoid damageElectrotherapyEye surgeryRetinal ProsthesisPattern perception
This invention is for directly modulating a beam of photons onto the retinas of patients who have extreme vision impairment or blindness. Its purpose is to supply enough imaging energy to retinal prosthetics implanted in the eye which operate essentially by having light (external to the eye) activating photoreceptors, or photoelectrical material. The invention provides sufficient light amplification and does it logarithmically. While it has sufficient output light power, the output light level still remains at a safe level. Most preferred embodiments of this invention provide balanced biphasic stimulation with no net charge injection into the eye. Both optical and electronic magnification for the image, as for example, using an optical zoom lens, is incorporated. Otherwise, it would not be feasible to zoom in on items of particular interest or necessity. Without proper adjustment, improper threshold amplitudes would obtain, as well as uncomfortable maximum thresholds. Therefore, to adjust for these, a way of proper adjustment for the threshold amplitudes and maximum comfortable thresholds is provided. Furthermore, to the extent that the individual stimulation sites in the retina give different color perceptions, upon stimulation, then colors of the viewed scene is correlated with specific stimulation sites to provide a certain amount of color vision.
