Abstract

The invention is a method for determining at least two corrected color values for a pixel, said pixel being embedded in a configuration of pixels and having a color filter for filtering substantially one color type while obtaining a measurement on the pixel. The method comprises the steps of measuring at least one signal on said pixel; transforming the measured signal into a representation having at least a luminance and a chrominance part; and transforming said representation into a color space representation of said pixel, said pixel having at least two color values in said color space representation.
