New IDS peak 2.16 release brings tool for reproducible color perception

Reliable and consistent color reproduction is crucial in many industrial and scientific image processing applications. However, missing reference areas, deviating light sources, and non-standardized environments often pose challenges. Traditional white balancing is often insufficient or impractical in these cases.

The IDS peak SDK from version 2.16 provides you with the right tool for systematic color correction with chromatic adaptation, which is fully adapted to your environment and lighting conditions. You can save the resulting RGB values and use them as start parameters in your application. Therefore, time-consuming adjustment cycles during runtime are not necessary.

Install IDS peak 2.16 and benefit from perfect color reproduction today.
