Patent ID: 8077205

Claim:
A computing device for calibrating an imaging device comprising: a. a processor; and b. an application for utilizing the processor for adaptively predicting a set of calibration parameters from an image and a training data set wherein the set of calibration parameters are used for calibrating the imaging device; wherein adaptively predicting a set of calibration parameters includes: i. acquiring the training data set associated with a first set of colors and a second set of colors using a plurality of imaging devices; ii. transforming the training data set from a first color space to a second color space using initial values of the calibration parameters; iii. generating regression coefficients for predicting data associated with the second set of colors using the first set of colors; iv. acquiring data associated with the first set of colors using the imaging device to be calibrated; v. transforming the data associated with the first set of colors from the first color space to the second color space using the initial values of the calibration parameters; vi. predicting the data associated with the second set of colors using the regression coefficients; vii. obtaining new calibration parameters from the acquired and predicted data; and viii. repeating ii, iii, v, vi, vii replacing the initial values with the new calibration parameters until a threshold is met.
