Realistic Image Rendition Using a Variable Exponent Functional Model for Retinex
نویسندگان
چکیده
The goal of realistic image rendition is to recover the acquired image under imperfect illuminant conditions, where non-uniform illumination may degrade image quality with high contrast and low SNR. In this paper, the assumption regarding illumination is modified and a variable exponent functional model for Retinex is proposed to remove non-uniform illumination and reduce halo artifacts. The theoretical derivation is provided and experimental results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed model.

Color Image Enhancement Using Multiscale Retinex and Image Fusion Techniques
Abstract—In this paper, an edge-strength guided multiscale retinex (EGMSR) approach will be proposed for color image contrast enhancement. In EGMSR, the pixel-dependent weight associated with each pixel in the single scale retinex output image is computed according to the edge strength around this pixel in order to prevent from over-enhancing the noises contained in the smooth dark/bright regio...
متن کاملMulti-scale retinex for color image enhancement
The retinex is a human perception-based image processing algorithm which provides color constancy and dynamic range compression. We have previously reported on a single-scale retinex (SSR) and shown that it can either achieve color/lightness rendition or dynamic range compression, but not both simultaneously. We now present a multi-scale retinex (MSR) which overcomes this limitation for most sc...
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...

The last version of Edwin Land's retinex model for human vision's lightness and color constancy has been implemented. Previous research has established the mathematical foundations of Land's retinex but has not examined speciic design issues and their eeects on the properties of the retinex operation. We have sought to deene a practical implementation of the retinex without particular concern f...
متن کاملAdaptive Multi-Scale Retinex algorithm for contrast enhancement of real world scenes
Contrast enhancement is a classic image restoration technique that traditionally has been performed using forms of histogram equalization. While effective these techniques often introduce unrealistic tonal rendition in real-world scenes. This paper explores the use of Retinex theory to perform contrast enhancement of real-world scenes. We propose an improvement to the Multi-Scale Retinex algori...
