System and method for a color sensor

摘要

In one embodiment of the invention there is disclosed a device for correcting the output of a light source such that the corrected output conforms to a known standard. The corrected light outputs are proportional to the colors contained in the light impacting the color sensor. In one embodiment, memory contains at least one color matching function pertaining to the specific color sensor and a controller works with the memory to convert the color sensor light outputs to a specific color PCS space based on the matching function. If desired, a user can select a desired PCS protocol.
