Patent ID: 7081899

Claim:
An image processing support system comprising: an image processing device that includes a nonvolatile parameter storing unit operable to store parameters which are set from outside the image processing device, and an image signal processing unit operable to perform signal processing for changing brightness and colors of an input image signal based on the parameters stored in the nonvolatile parameter storing unit and output the processed image signal; a display device for displaying the processed image signal outputted from the image processing device; a measuring device for measuring a gamma characteristic and a color reproduction characteristic as measurement results of the display device; and an image processing support device that includes: a receiving unit operable to receive the measurement results from the measuring device; a target characteristic setting unit operable to set a target characteristic inputted from an operator; an image signal outputting unit operable to output an evaluation image on the display device via the image processing device; and a parameter calculating unit operable to determine a gamma correction characteristic and a color correction characteristic of the display device according to the measurement results received by the receiving unit, prepare the parameters that realize a characteristic in which partial enhancement or partial control is performed for the gamma correction characteristic and the color correction characteristic depending on the target characteristic set by the target characteristic setting unit, and set the prepared parameters in the image processing device.
