چکیده

In this paper, we describe a method for correcting underexposed images by recovering the Lambertian diffuse component in the scene. The method makes use of an implicit mapping between the objects in the scene and a unit sphere. As a result of this treatment, the scene radiance function can be represented by a polar function on the unit sphere. We pose the problem of recovering the scene radiance function as that of estimating a tabular representation of this polar function. We demonstrate how image gradient information can be used to perform the required mapping. With the mapping at hand, we generate an image corresponding to the diffuse component of the scene. The diffuse and input images are then blended in order to obtain the corrected image. We present results on images of real-world scenes and provide comparison with an alternative.

Statistical Calibration of CCD Imaging Process

Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) cameras are widely used imaging sensors in computer vision systems. Many photometric algorithms, such as shape from shading, color constancy, and photometric stereo, implicitly assume that the image intensity is proportional to scene radiance. The actual image measurements deviate significantly from this assumption since the transformation from scene radiance to imag...

Adaptive exposure estimation for high dynamic range imaging applied to natural scenes and daylight skies.

Digital imaging of natural scenes and optical phenomena present on them (such as shadows, twilights, and crepuscular rays) can be a very challenging task because of the range spanned by the radiances impinging on the capture system. We propose a novel method for estimating the set of exposure times (bracketing set) needed to capture the full dynamic range of a scene with high dynamic range (HDR...

What is the Space of Camera Response Functions?

Many vision applications require precise measurement of scene radiance. The function relating scene radiance to image brightness is called the camera response. We analyze the properties that all camera responses share. This allows us to find the constraints that any response function must satisfy. These constraints determine the theoretical space of all possible camera responses. We have collec...

Evaluation and Comparison of Topographic Correction Models Is Applied on the Series Landsat Images Using Spectrometery Data

The effect of topography on the radiance record in satellite image, probably reduce the accuracy of algorithem impliementation on the images . Therefore, to reduce the effect of topography, various correction models based on interaction between light and object needs to be defined. This research introduces lombertin correction model (Cosine model) and non_lombertin correction model (mineart and...

Image Enhancement via Reducing Impairment Effects on Image Components

In this paper, a new approach is presented for improving image quality. It provides a new outlook on how to apply the enhancment methods on images. Image enhancement techniques may deal with the  illumination, resolution, or distribution of pixels values. Issues such as the illumination of the scene and reflectance of objects affect on image captures. Generally, the pixels value of an image is ...
