Video imaging system with multiple camera white balance capability

摘要

A system for capturing image data including a control module having a control switch and a processor, the processor being adapted for white balance control and the control switch being adapted to initiate white balance control, at least one input module connected to the control module, the input module providing white balance calibration, and at least one camera coupled to the input module. One or more of the at least one input module are configured as active input modules, each active input module having an active camera generating an image signal. The control module detects the one or more active input modules and controls one of the one or more active input modules, selected based on user feedback, to calibrate white balance of the image signal of the active camera coupled to the selected input module and to transmit the calibrated image signal to the control module for display.

1. A system for capturing image data, said system comprising:
a control module having a control switch and a processor, said processor being configured for white balance control and said control switch being configured to initiate white balance control; at least one input module connected to said control module, said input module configured to provide white balance calibration for wide band imaging and narrow band imaging; at least one camera coupled to said at least one input module such that said at least one input module is connected between said at least one camera and said control module; one or more of said at least one input module configured as active input modules, each active input module having an active camera generating an image signal; and said control module detecting said one or more active input modules and controlling one of said one or more active input modules, selected based on user feedback, to retrieve a camera setting indicative of whether wide band imaging or narrow band imaging is being used by the active camera of the selected input module, to provide dual white balance calibration of the image signal of the active camera coupled to the selected input module based on the camera setting, and to transmit the calibrated image signal to said control module for display.
