Abstract

A method of controlling a plurality of light sources based on a source image is disclosed. The method comprises controlling a first light source according to a first light setting based on a first color of the source image, receiving an input indicative of a change of the first light setting of the first light source, determining a color of the changed first light setting, modifying the source image by modifying the first color in the source image based on the color of the changed light setting, and rendering the modified image on a display.

Claims (37)

1. A method of controlling a plurality of light sources based on a source image, the method comprising:

controlling a first light source according to a first light setting based on a first color of the source image,

receiving an input indicative of a change of color of the first light setting of the first light source,

determining a color of the changed first light setting,

controlling a second light source according to a second light setting based on a second color of the source image,

modifying the source image by modifying the first color in the source image based on the color of the changed light setting by selecting pixels in the source image that have a pixel color similar to the first color and modifying pixel colors of the selected pixels based on the color of the changed light setting, while substantially maintaining the second color in the source image,

rendering the modified image on a display, and

reverting the modified image to the source image upon receiving a user input indicative thereof.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

controlling the first light source according to the first light setting.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

analyzing the source image, and

extracting the first color from the source image.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

rendering the source image on the display, and

receiving user input indicative of a selection of the first color from the source image.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of modifying the first color in the source image comprises modifying a hue, saturation and/or brightness of the first color of the source image.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of modifying the first color in the source image comprises: applying an image filter to the source image.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

storing the modified image in a memory.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the input indicative of the change of the first light setting is a signal received from a lighting control device.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the input indicative of the change of the first light setting is a user input received via a user interface.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage device with computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more computer processors, cause the one or more computer processors to perform operations configured to perform the method of claim 1 .

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein selecting the pixels in the source image that have the pixel color similar to the first color comprises selecting the pixels that have a same hue as the first color.

12. A lighting control system for controlling a plurality of light sources based on a source image, the lighting control system comprising:

a display, and

a processor configured to control a first light source according to a first light setting based on a first color of the source image, to control a second light source according to a second light setting based on a second color of the source image, and to receive an input indicative of a change of color of the first light setting,

wherein the processor is further configured to determine a color of the changed first light setting, to modify the source image by modifying the first color in the source image based on the color of the changed light setting by selecting pixels in the source image that have a pixel color similar to the first color and modifying pixel colors of the selected pixels based on the color of the changed light setting while substantially maintaining the second color in the source image, to render the modified image on the display, and to revert the modified image to the source image upon receiving a user input indicative thereof.

13. The lighting control system of claim 12 , further comprising the plurality of light sources.

14. A method of controlling a plurality of light sources based on a source image, the method comprising:

controlling a first light source according to a first light setting based on a first color of the source image,

receiving an input indicative of a change of color of the first light setting of the first light source,

determining a color of the changed first light setting,

controlling a second light source according to a second light setting based on a second color of the source image,

modifying the source image by modifying the first color in the source image based on the color of the changed light setting by selecting pixels in the source image that have a pixel color similar to the first color and modifying pixel colors of the selected pixels based on the color of the changed light setting while substantially maintaining the second color in the source image, modifying the first color including at least selecting pixels in the source image that have a pixel color similar to the first color and modifying pixel colors of the selected pixels based on the color of the changed light setting,

rendering the modified image on a display, and

reverting the modified image to the source image upon receiving a user input indicative thereof.
