Recovering Color and Details of Clipped Image Regions
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a picture of a bright scene, camera sensor readings may be saturated to a maximal value. This results in loss of variation and color distortion of bright regions in the image. We present an algorithm that exploits data from uncorrupted channels to recover image details and color information. The correction is based on the Color Lines model for image representation in RGB color space. Given an image we identify regions of color clipping, and expand each of them to a color cluster called a Color Line. Then we restore the clipped pixel values of each Color Line according to its unique properties. Our method is suitable for both raw and processed color images, including those with large clipped regions. We also present results of correcting color clipping in video sequences.

Recovering badly exposed objects from digital photos using internet images
In this paper we consider the problem of clipped-pixel recovery over an entire badly exposed image region, using two correctly exposed images of the scene that may be captured under different conditions. The first reference image is used to recover texture; feature points are extracted along the boundaries of both the source and reference regions, while a warping function deforms the reference ...
متن کاملRecovering Over-/Underexposed Regions in Photographs
When taking pictures using a commodity camera in a scene with strong or harsh lighting, such as a sunny day outdoors, we often see a loss of highlight details (over-exposure) in some bright regions and a loss of shadow details (under-exposure) in some dark regions. In this paper, we developed a wavelet tight frame based approach to reconstruct a well-exposed image with better visibility on deta...
متن کاملImpulsive Noise Elimination Considering the Bit Planes Information of the Image
Impulsive noise is one of the imposed defectives degrades the quality of images. Performance of many image processing applications directly depends on the quality of the input image. Hence, it is necessary to de-noise the degraded images without losing their valuable information such as edges. In this paper we propose a method to remove impulsive noise from color images without damaging the ima...
متن کاملColor Reduction in Hand-drawn Persian Carpet Cartoons before Discretization using image segmentation and finding edgy regions
In this paper, we present a method for color reduction of Persian carpet cartoons that increases both speed and accuracy of editing. Carpet cartoons are in two categories: machine-printed and hand-drawn. Hand-drawn cartoons are divided into two groups: before and after discretization. The purpose of this study is color reduction of hand-drawn cartoons before discretization. The proposed algorit...
متن کاملRobust Method for E-Maximization and Hierarchical Clustering of Image Classification
We developed a new semi-supervised EM-like algorithm that is given the set of objects present in eachtraining image, but does not know which regions correspond to which objects. We have tested thealgorithm on a dataset of 860 hand-labeled color images using only color and texture features, and theresults show that our EM variant is able to break the symmetry in the initial solution. We compared...
