System and method for converting an image to an intensity based colormap

摘要

The systems and methods described herein disclose creating an Intensity Based Colormap by interweaving different Hues between two end points (e.g., black and white) with increasing Luminance. An Intensity Based Colormap may be used to convert Computer Input image data using a Computer Machine encoded with an Intensity Based Colormap.

1. A method comprising:
constructing a colormap on a Computer Machine comprising the steps of:
receiving a set of Hues;setting a Saturation level to a constant value;setting a Luminance level to zero;calculating a set of Colors by combining said Saturation level and said Luminance level with each of said Hues from said set of Hues;assigning said set of Colors to an Intensity Based Colormap;increasing said Luminance level;calculating a next set of Colors by combining said Saturation level and said Luminance level with each of said Hues from said set of Hues;assigning said next set of Colors to said Colormap; andrepeating said increasing said Luminance level step and said calculating a next set of Colors step and said assigning said next set of Colors step until a predefined width for said Colormap is reached; receiving an image from a thermal camera; rendering said image on a Computer Machine using said Colormap; and Generating for Graphical Display on a Graphical User Interface said image rendered by said Colormap.
