چکیده

The aim of this paper is to present a transform-based framework for color image enhancement which processes all three color components (R,G,B) simultaneously. In this framework, the image enhancement procedure is supported by a two-dimensional discrete quaternion Fourier transform and the new multi-frequency band α-rooting concept. Moreover, we introduce a simple measure to evaluate the quality of enhanced color images. Additionally, we demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithms against recently proposed methods which separately process color channels. Preliminary results show that the presented algorithm out-performs other enhancement methods such as the traditional Fourier transform-based alpha-rooting and the multi-scale Retinex algorithms. The proposed algorithms are fast and simple in implementation and design which makes them very practical for image enhancement. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Modified Alpha-Rooting Color Image Enhancement Method On The Two-Side 2-D Quaternion Discrete Fourier Transform And The 2-D Discrete Fourier Transform

Color in an image is resolved to 3 or 4 color components and 2-Dimages of these components are stored in separate channels. Most of the color image enhancement algorithms are applied channel-by-channel on each image. But such a system of color image processing is not processing the original color. When a color image is represented as a quaternion image, processing is done in original colors. Th...

Quaternion Fourier Transform for Colour Images

The Fourier transforms plays a critical role in broad range of image processing applications, including enhancement, restoration, analysis and compression. For filtering of gray scale images 2D Fourier transform is an important tool which converts the image from spatial domain to frequency domain and then by applying filtering mask filtering is done. To filter color images, a new approach is im...

Applying Quaternion Fourier Transforms for Enhancing Color Images

The Fourier transforms play a critical role in a broad range of image processing applications, including enhancement, analysis, restoration, and compression. Until recently, it was common to use the conventional methods to deal with colored images. These methods are based on RGB decomposition of the colored image by separating it into three separate scalar images and computing the Fourier trans...

A robust blind color image watermarking in quaternion Fourier transform domain

Most of the existing color image watermarking schemes were designed to mark the image luminance component only, which have some disadvantages: (i) they are sensitive to color attacks because of ignoring the correlation between different color channels, (ii) they are always not robust to geometric distortions for neglecting the watermark desynchronization. It is a challenging work to design a ro...
