Patent ID: 8861849

Claim:
Apparatus for processing an image, comprising: a memory storing processor-readable instructions; and a processor coupled to the memory, operable to execute the instructions, and based at least in part on the execution of the instructions operable to perform operations comprising receiving colour emotion indicia corresponding to coordinates in a colour emotion space defined by colour emotion scales, based on the colour emotion indicia, identifying at least one color emotion correction model that maps a coordinate of a pixel value in a colour encoding space to an adjusted coordinate value in the colour encoding space based on a respective value of a colour correction coefficient of the color emotion correction model, determining the respective value of the colour correction coefficient based on the colour emotion indicia, mapping values of target pixels of the image in the colour encoding space to adjusted pixel values in the colour encoding space, wherein the mapping comprises ascertaining a respective mapping function by applying the respective color correction coefficient values to the respective colour emotion correction model and applying the mapping function to respective ones of the values of the target pixels, and outputting image pixel data based on the adjusted pixel values.
