Color Image Enhancement by Highlight-Preserving Vector Transformation and Nonlinear Mapping
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a new light-value approaching method to enhance a color image by excluding the effect of incident illumination is proposed. The method uses the highlightpreserving vector transformation, in which an estimated color of illumination is transformed to the white color of natural daylight while preserving the highlight. In the method, initial transformation matrix using simple vector rotation is corrected by regression, and the corrected transformation matrix is applied to input color. Then the transformed red, green, and blue values of each pixel are nonlinearly mapped to the 8 bit values to be displayed on natural color output device. The proposed method can produce the enhanced color image fast and efficiently without any space conversion or noticeable distortion.

Extensor-based image interpolation
We propose a novel image interpolation method for resolution enhancement of still images. The approach consists of a nonlinear mapping from pixel index space to color space based on the low-resolution image so that non-integral pixel indices in a super-sampling can be mapped to colors, i.e., interpolated. This nonlinear mapping is based on an extensor transformation of 2D pixel indices to an N-...

Reducing the number of colors in an image while preserving its quality, is of importance in many applications such as image analysis and compression. It also decreases memory and transmission bandwidth requirements. Moreover, classification of image colors is applicable in image segmentation and object detection and separation, as well as producing pseudo-color images. In this paper, the Kohene...
متن کاملColor Search and Replace
We present an interactive image enhancement technique to adjust the global color composition of an image by finding and replacing color gradients. We show how color gradient transformations can perform the basic operations of color editing. To recolor an image, the user designates a mapping of source color gradients to corresponding target color gradients. Each color gradient can be represented...
متن کاملAnisotropic Feature-Preserving Denoising of Height Fields and Bivariate Data
In this paper, we present an efficient way to denoise bivariate data like height fields, color pictures or vector fields, while preserving edges and other features. Mixing surface area minimization, graph flow, and nonlinear edge-preservation metrics, our method generalizes previous anisotropic diffusion approaches in image processing, and is applicable to data of arbitrary dimension. Another n...
متن کاملStructure-preserving color transformations using Laplacian commutativity
Mappings between color spaces are ubiquitous in image processing problems such as gamut mapping, decolorization, and image optimization for color-blind people. Simple color transformations often result in information loss and ambiguities (for example, when mapping from RGB to grayscale), and one wishes to find an image-specific transformation that would preserve as much as possible the structur...
