Improved Illumination Correction that Preserves Medium-Sized Objects
نویسنده
چکیده
Illumination correction is a method used for removing the influence of light coming from the environment and of other distorting factors in the image capturing process. An algorithm based on the luminance mapping is proposed that can be used to remove low frequency variations in the intensity, and to increase the contrast in low contrast areas when necessary. Moreover, the algorithm can be employed to preserve the intensity of medium-sized objects with different intensity or colour than their surroundings, which otherwise would tend to be washed out. Furthermore, examples are given showing how the method can be used for both greyscale images and colour photos.

Entropy-guided Retinex anisotropic diffusion algorithm based on partial differential equations (PDE) for illumination correction
Abstract This report describes the experimental results obtained using a proposed variational Retinex algorithm for controlled illumination correction. Two colour restoration and enhancement schemes of the algorithm are presented for drastically improved results. The algorithm modifies the reflectance image using global and local contrast enhancement approaches and gradually removes the residua...
متن کاملMission-critical monitoring based on surround suppression variational Retinex enhancement for non-uniform illumination images
In this letter, a surround suppression variational Retinex enhancement algorithm (SSVR) is proposed for non-uniform illumination images. Instead of a gradient module, a surround suppression mechanism is used to provide spatial information in order to constrain the total variation regularization strength of the illumination and reflectance. The proposed strategy preserves the boundary areas in t...
متن کاملIllumination Correction for Static Skin Filters
Illumination correction or Color Constancy (CC) is the ability of humans for resolving the apparent colors of objects in a given scene independently of the illumination source. For robust skin detection in images/videos, we evaluate and investigate the effect of CC approaches on static skin segmentation approaches. The effect of five CC approaches namely Gray-Edge CC, Gray-World CC, max-RGB CC,...
متن کاملBuilding Change Detection Improvement Using Topographic Correction Models
In the change detection application of remote sensing, commonly the variation in the brightness values of the pixels/objects in bi-temporal image is used as an indicator for detecting changes. However, there exist effects, other than a change in the objects that can cause variations in the brightness values. One of the effects is the illumination difference on steep surfaces mainly steeproofs o...
متن کاملA Color Balancing Algorithm for Cameras
Color constancy refers to the ability to recognize the true color of objects in a scene regardless of the illumination which is incident upon them. While the human visual system is color-constant to a large extent, digital cameras have to rely on fast color balancing algorithms, integrated into their image signal processing (ISP) pipeline, in order to estimate the illumination in a scene and co...
