Abstract:
A system and method for calibrating an endoscope having the camera and the light source close to each other in an enclosed environment. The system includes a colour chart plate, being specularly reflecting, having radially extending colour patches, and a circular central achromatic bright field that can handle the automatic gain control of the camera. The colour chart can be mounted into a container unit having mechanically connected holders to support the endoscope arm.

Claim (Index 28):
A method for calibrating a camera system with an integrated light source, the system comprising a camera with the light source, a container, and a colour chart plate with a colour chart having a circular central bright achromatic field, the method comprising the steps of aligning the camera's field of view with the circular central achromatic bright field of the colour chart and adjusting the size of a beam from the light source until pixels inside the circular central achromatic field are saturated while pixels outside the circular central achromatic field are not saturated, extract colour values from the colour patches and calculate correction values, further comprising managing automatic gain control so that the signal from the colour patches outside the circular central achromatic bright field is not saturated.
