Implementation of a real-time color matching between mobile camera and mobile LCD based on 16-bit LUT design

Until now, many of mobile display manufacturers try to improve the contrast ratio, viewing angle, and backlightluminance for its color fidelity and image quality. However, with the multimedia convergence, various imaging devices have been made smaller and loaded in a mobile phone as independent modules, which brings about the necessity of the color consistency between each module. Especially, with the population and rapid growth of mobile camera, it is important for mobile LCD to reproduce realistically and accurately the object color of a moving-picture transmitted by a mobile camera. Therefore, we developed a real-time color matching system between mobile camera and mobile LCD based on a 16-bit lookup table (LUT) design. As a result, a moving-picture is realistically and accurately reproduced on mobile LCD by applying the proposed lookup table to mobile display.
