Why should you use BS EN 61966-9 - Colour measurement and management?
The methods of measurement standardized in BS EN 61966-9 are designed to make possible the objective performance assessment and characterization of the colour reproduction of digital cameras that can capture colour still and moving images, and output colour information corresponding to red – green – blue digital image data. The measured results are intended to be used for the purpose of colour management in multimedia systems, typically on the Internet.
BS EN 61966-9 defines test charts, measurement conditions and methods of measurement, so as to make possible colour management in open multimedia systems and comprehensive comparison of the results of measurements for assessment of digital cameras. BS EN 61966-9 describes a method to control colour reproduction based on the data reported as the results of performing the measuring methods.
