Make It White – a white balance adjustment app for iOS
Name
Juhan Hion
Abstract
The goal of this thesis is to describe how and why a white balance adjustment app was created for iPhone.
To facilitate understanding why this kind of app is necessary, an overview of the white balance problem domain and a tour of currently existing solutions on iPhone are given. Based on these descriptions the philosophical choices made about what kind of app to develop are described and justified.
Since changing a photograph’s white balance is not a trivial thing, just enough theory is introduced to provide the necessary mathematical background to white balance adjustments. Built upon this background, the chosen colour correction solution is described in step by step in theoretical terms.
Finally, a brief technical overview is provided to point out the more complex implementation problems solved during the development of the app.
The author of this thesis hopes that when Make It White is completed and published it will find buyers from Apple’s AppStore.
