چکیده

Color constancy is the capability to determine colors of objects independent of the color of the light source. This paper deals with the different color constancy algorithms to evaluate the performance of existing color constancy algorithms. The combined effect of two color constancy algorithms i.e. White Patch Retinex (WPR) and Gray World (GW) and gamma correction used for dynamic range correction for image enhancement. The main limitation of the color constancy integrated with gamma correction proves to be efficient for dark regions but produce poor results for brighter regions. To reduce this problem in this paper we have proposed a new algorithm which will integrate the color constancy with histogram stretching and average filter to provide accurate results in dark, medium and brighter regions. The proposed algorithm is designed and implemented in MATLAB using image processing toolbox. The proposed algorithm provides significant as it has shown significantly better results in poor, high and medium intensity images as well as it reduce noise which may be introduced during color correction time.

Color correction between gray world and white patch

Color equalization algorithms exhibit a variety of behaviors described in two differing types of models: Gray World and White Patch. These two models are considered alternatives to each other in methods of color correction. They are the basis for two human visual adaptation mechanisms: Lightness Constancy and Color Constancy. The Gray World approach is typical of the Lightness Constancy adaptat...

Correction of Faded Colors in an Image Using an Integrated Multi-Scale GrayWorld Algorithm

The correction of faded colors in old pictures, prints, and paintings is an interesting issue for color image processing. Several techniques have already been introduced to enhance faded color images, many of which approach the problem as color cast removal and use global illuminant estimation methods, such as the gray world or Von Kries assumptions. However, the use of simple global operators ...

Color Correction for Projected Image on Colored Screen Using Correction Matrix Based on Camera

Recently, projectors are one of the most common display device for using presentation at office and class, entertainment at home, and theater. The use of mobile projector expanded the applications such as meeting at field and presentation on the spot. The images are not always projected on white screen, causing color distortion. Various algorithms have been proposed to correct the projected col...

Enhanced Color Consistency Using L*a*b Color Space Based Gray World & Ahe

The color constancy is the capability to observe colors of objects, invariant to the color of the light source. The main objective of the computational color constancy is to achieve efficient results of the illuminate. The image which is captured by a camera is based on the three important factors: features of the camera, the light incident on the scene and the objective content of the view. To...

ACE: An Automatic Color Equalization Algorithm

In this work we present a new algorithm for digital images unsupervised enhancement, called ACE for Automatic Color Equalization. It is based on a new computational approach that merges the "Gray World" and "White Patch" equalization mechanisms, while taking into account the spatial distribution of color information. Inspired by some adaptation mechanisms of the human visual system, ACE is able...
