Luminance-Based Multi-Scale Retinex
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multi-scale retinex (MSR) processing has been shown to be an effective way to enhance image contrast, but it often has an undesirable desaturating effect on the image colours. A colourrestoration method [2,3]can help mitigate this effect, but our experience is that it simply leads to other problems. In this paper we modify MSR so that it preserves colour fidelity while still enhancing contrast. We then add neural-net based colour constancy processing[7] to this modified version of MSR. The result is a principled approach that provides the contrastenhancement benefits of MSR and improved colour fidelity.

Improved Color Reproduction by Hue Preservation in Integrated Multi-scale Retinex
Tone reproduction is now widely used in the field of HDR imaging and image enhancement, especially to provide the proper luminance, so that captured images give the same sensation as the real scene. As a result, a high contrast and naturalness of colors can be obtained. In recent studies on tone reproduction with the objective of reproducing natural looking colors in digital images, an integrat...
متن کاملThe Influence of Luminance on Local Tone Mapping
We study the influence of the choice of color space for local tone mapping methods. Many local tone mapping methods do not perform well when applied independently to the three color channels of an RGB image. A common solution is to only treat the luminance channel. However, the question of which color space provides the most suitable luminance definition has not been addressed. The correlation ...

A commonly problem of digital image processing systems that use video cameras for control navigation, as those used in cars or planes control, is that these systems depend on image contrast and the environmental pollution as fog, smog or rain. These environment characteristics, filters wavelengths of the light, which causes that the captured images, were modified by the video camera, decreasing...
متن کاملRetinex Image Processing: Improving the Visual Realism of Color Images
Sensations of color show a strong correlation with reflectance, even though the amount of visible light reaching the eye depends on the product of reflectance and illumination. The visual system must achieve this remarkable result by a scheme that does not measure flux. Such a scheme is described as the basis of Retinex theory. This paper deals with image enhancement techniques basically Retine...
متن کاملLUMA Based Histogram for Image Enhancement
A luminance based multi scale retinex (LB_MSRCR) algorithm for the enhancement of darker images is proposed in this paper. The new technique consists only the addition of the convolution results of 3 different scales. In this way, the color noise in the shadow/dark areas can be suppressed and the convolutions with different scales can be calculated simultaneously to save CPU time. Color saturat...
