The still image and video of the same scene taken under various condition show different color, and the most important factor of capture condition is scene illuminant. The average color of contents is determined along the color temperature of scene illuminant, the method for conversion of scene illuminant chromaticity is needed. In this paper, the method for converting the scene illuminant chromaticity from arbitrary correlated color temperature to another arbitrary one is proposed. Conventional method only defines several set of color temperature conversion that can be evaluated as representative ones. The proposed method has the merit of calculating the conversion function directly from arbitrary color temperature to another one.

In this Paper, we propose the color-temperature conversion method using an one-dimensional illuminant chromaticity. It also presents the design and the implementation of the proposed method. The performance of the method is compared with that of two-dimensional conversion method in Robertson's algorithm based on calculated color temperatures. The proposed method is demonstrated experimentally for color temperatures in the range of 3,000OK to 25,000OK with the Xilinx Virtex-E FPGA XCV2000E-6BG560.
