Abstract:
1. A process for transforming digital source image data corresponding to multiple image frames in a motion imaging sequence to provide a desired image look at a specified point of an imaging step chain comprising: defining desired values for at least two image look parameters associated with the desired image look; sensing data from multiple image frames in the motion imaging sequence which correlates to the values of the defined image look parameters for the digital source image data; and modifying the digital source image data as a function of the sensed data to provide digital output image data corresponding to the motion imaging sequence at the specified point with at least one image look parameter value closer to the defined image look parameter value associated with the desired image look; wherein the desired image look parameters are defined with respect to an image to be displayed after further processing of the digital output image data downstream of the modifying step, further comprising providing information on the characteristics of the downstream processing, and wherein the modifying step is designed to compensate for effects of the downstream processing on the desired image look parameters.
