A color temperature conversion system and a method thereof are capable of converting
the color temperature to the color temperature almost identical with the color
temperature obtained by the Robertson algorithm. The color temperature conversion
system has an XYZ conversion unit for converting an RGB signal of input video data
into an XYZ value in a CIE coordinate system, a chroma calculating unit for calculating
X and Y coordinate values of a pixel corresponding to the converted XYZ value,
an offset compensate unit for compensating the X coordinate value calculated by
the chroma calculating unit based on an X coordinate value difference and a Y coordinate
value difference of a color temperature on a white point line of the CIE coordinate
system and an actual color temperature of the video data, in the case the color
temperature is calculated based on the calculated X coordinate value, a color temperature
calculating unit for calculating the color temperature of the video data that is
inputted based on the compensated X coordinate value, and a color temperature conversion
unit for converting the color temperature calculated by the color temperature calculating
unit into a predetermined color temperature and outputting the converted predetermined
color temperature.
