A SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATICALLY PRODUCING A COLOR DISPLAY OF A SCENE FROM A BLACK AND WHITE REPRESENTATION OF THE SCENE

摘要

This invention comprises a system for producing a color representation on either video tape or a color display device of a static or dynamic scene, each color being independently selective and variable. Signals are generated for representing the scene in discrete shades of gray, which signals are used to generate further signals representing the red, green and blue components of a color assigned to each gray shade. These red, green and blue component signals are used to produce the color representation. The system further includes means for selecting the colors assigned to the various gray shades, and exclusive logic means allowing independent selection and variation of each color. Means are also provided for animating the scene to produce a fully animated color representation.
