Abstract

One embodiment provides a method, the method including: receiving, at a color tone adjustment system, an image of a scene; identifying, using the color tone adjustment system, a light source providing illumination within the image; and adjusting, using the color tone adjustment system, a color tone of the image based upon characteristics of the light source. Other aspects are claimed and described.

Claims (32)

1 . A method, the method comprising:

receiving, at a color tone adjustment system, an image of a scene;

identifying, using the color tone adjustment system, a light source providing illumination within the image; and

adjusting, using the color tone adjustment system, a color tone of the image based upon characteristics of the light source.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying the light source comprises accessing a data storage location identifying light sources within an environment.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying the light source comprises identifying the characteristics of the light source.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the identifying the characteristics of the light source comprises accessing a data storage location storing light sources and characteristics of the light sources and querying the data storage location for the light source identified.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying the light source comprises querying a device operatively coupled to the color tone adjustment system.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying the light source comprises identifying an output color of the light source.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the adjusting comprises adjusting a value of a color of a portion of the image.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the adjusting comprises adjusting a value of a color of the image irrespective of values of other colors of the image.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying the light sources comprises controlling the illumination within the scene by providing instructions to a controllable device to identify the characteristics of an uncontrollable light source providing illumination within the image.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying the light source comprises querying a secondary information source for characteristics related to the light source.

11 . A system, the system comprising:

a processor;

a memory device that stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the system to:

receive, at a color tone adjustment system, an image of a scene;

identify, using the color tone adjustment system, a light source providing illumination within the image; and

adjust, using the color tone adjustment system, a color tone of the image based upon characteristics of the light source.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the identifying the light source comprises accessing a data storage location identifying light sources within an environment.

13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the identifying the light source comprises identifying the characteristics of the light source.

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the identifying the characteristics of the light source comprises accessing a data storage location storing light sources and characteristics of the light sources and querying the data storage location for the light source identified.

15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the identifying the light source comprises querying a device operatively coupled to the color tone adjustment system.

16 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the identifying the light source comprises identifying an output color of the light source.

17 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the adjusting comprises adjusting a value of a color of a portion of the image.

18 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the adjusting comprises adjusting a value of a color of the image irrespective of values of other colors of the image.

19 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the identifying the light sources comprises controlling the illumination within the scene by providing instructions to a controllable device to identify the characteristics of an uncontrollable light source providing illumination within the image.

20 . A product, the product comprising:

a computer-readable storage device that stores executable code that, when executed by a processor, causes the product to:

receive, at a color tone adjustment system, an image of a scene;

identify, using the color tone adjustment system, a light source providing illumination within the image; and

adjust, using the color tone adjustment system, a color tone of the image based upon characteristics of the light source.
