Color Processing Overview
Linea2 color cameras provide on-demand automatic White Balance and Color Correction features.
Note
: computer monitors have wide color variations. Users should use professional monitors which
have factory calibrated fixed presets conforming to sRGB or AdobeRGB color spaces.
White Balance Operation
The Linea2 white balance control uses an automatic algorithm executing on demand. Automatic
mode operates under the assumption of a color neutral scene.
Color Correction Matrix
Linea2 color models support the use of a color correction matrix for adjusting the color output of
the camera.
Sapera LT SDK includes the Sapera Color Calibration tool, which allows you to generate color
correction coefficients that are used to adjust the sensor’s color response for known colors
at a
specific illumination. This ensures that the camera outputs the correct color for a given scene.
The color correction coefficients (3 x 4 matrix) are saved as a *.ccor file that can be uploaded to
the camera to perform real-time correction using the c
amera’s hardware (instead of performing
correction on the host computer after the image transfer).
The Sapera Color Calibration tool is available from Windows

generating coefficients.
