    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for bit-depth efficient image processing includes a step of communicating at least one non-linear transformation to an image signal processor. Each non-linear transformation is configured to, when applied by the image signal processor to a captured image having sensor signals encoded at a first bit depth, produce a nonlinear image that re-encodes the captured image at a second bit depth that may be less than the first bit depth, while optimizing allocation of bit depth resolution in the nonlinear image for low contour visibility. The method further includes receiving the nonlinear image from the image signal processor, and applying an inverse transformation to transform the nonlinear image to a re-linearized image at a third bit depth that is greater than the second bit depth. The inverse transformation is inverse to the nonlinear transformation used to produce the nonlinear image.

    Abstract: In a digital camera system, traditional input color transformations of raw data using a 3 x 3 matrix are replaced by two-dimensional lookup (2-D LUTs) tables that better approximate spectral reflectance characteristics. Chromaticity-like signals and an input scale factor are generated in response to raw sensor output values. The chromaticity signals and the input scale factor are mapped via 2-D LUTs into preliminary output signals and an output scaling factor. A final set of output color signals is generated in response to the preliminary output signals and the output scale factor. The 2-D LUTs are designed in response to spectral response curves generated on both the input and output side of the color transformation.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for color transforms are disclosed. A memory footprint of look up tables for color transforms can be reduced by separating the look up tables into factors, applying frequency domain transforms, dividing the look up tables into zones, or establishing hierarchical levels with increasing resolution. The methods can be applied to still image or video cameras with limited computation resources that can benefit from reduced memory footprints.

    Abstract: A substantially rectangular spectral representation is synthesized, which is adapted to produce image capture device sensor outputs if applied to an image capture device. The synthesized substantially rectangular spectral representation can be utilized in generating output color values of an output color space from image capture device sensor outputs, where the image capture device sensor outputs correspond to an image captured by an image capture device. The generated output color values correspond to colors perceived by the human visual system for the same image as that captured by the image capture device. Image capture device gamut is also determined.
