凵@ First   

Why does color TV show different color ?
Current system is not designed to reproduce accurate color .
It uses analogue signal ; once signal changes, the original .
can not be retrieved except for closed circuit.
Quality control is not applied in general except for broadcasting stations, etc.
Natural Vision is the solution to this problem.

 
 
凵@ Target
The technologies for image capture, transmission, distribution, archiving, and display are being studied to break through conventional RGB-based systems, the goal is to reproduce super-natural images with true color, gloss and texture using visual telecommunication systems.
Reproducing the color just as if the observer were at the site
 
Reproducing the color just as if the object were placed in front of the observer
 
 
  Concept of multispectral imaging and multiprimary color display
・・・・・Multispectral imaging ・・・・・
Conventional RGB-based camera is difficult to convert to spectrum sensitivity of our eyes, because of It has broadly spectrum sensitivity of each primary colors. And current system doesn't consider difference between illumination for observer and one for capturer. Multispectral image capture is very effective in order to caluculate accurate color under illumination for observer.
・・・・・Multiprimary display ・・・・・
 The renge surrounded by each primary colors is color gamut presented by display system. The RGB-based display system has small range surrounded by 3primary colors. It's not able to reproduce high chroma color. And now ,multi-primary color display possible to reproduce color close to visible color for human eyes.
・・・・・Data Transmission ・・・・・
 It's necessity to construct dedital archives with camera characteristics, illimination environment and spectral information for transmission of multispectral imaging. And It's indispensable to compress and expans kept with high-fidelity color reproduction.
