Abstract: Systems and methods for local tone mapping are provided. In one example, an electronic device includes an electronic display, an imaging device, and an image signal processor. The electronic display may display images of a first bit depth, and the imaging device may include an image sensor that obtains image data of a higher bit depth than the first bit depth. The image signal processor may process the image data, and may include local tone mapping logic that may apply a spatially varying local tone curve to a pixel of the image data to preserve local contrast when displayed on the display. The local tone mapping logic may smooth the local tone curve applied to the intensity difference between the pixel and another nearby pixel exceeds a threshold.

Abstract: Devices, methods, and non-transitory program storage devices are disclosed herein to provide improved image processing, the techniques comprising: obtaining an input image and target image data, and then calculating derivatives for the target image data using a regularized derivative kernel operator. In some embodiments, the regularized operator may comprise the following operator: [−1 (1+ε)], wherein ε may be a controllable system parameter and preferably is independent of the particular type of image processing being applied to the image. In some embodiments, the techniques may find look-up table (LUT) mappings or analytical functions to approximate the derivative structure of the target image data. Finally, the techniques disclosed herein may generate an output image from the input image based on attempting to closely approximate the calculated derivatives for the target image data. In preferred embodiments, by controlling the mapping, e.g., using regularization techniques, halos and other image artifacts may be ameliorated.

Abstract: A method and system for generating an output image from a plurality, N, of corresponding input image channels is described. A Jacobian matrix of the plurality of corresponding input image channels is determined. The principal characteristic vector of the outer product of the Jacobian matrix is calculated. The sign associated with the principal characteristic vector is set whereby an input image channel pixel projected by the principal characteristic vector results in a positive scalar value. The output image as a per-pixel projection of the input channels in the direction of the principal characteristic vector is generated.

Abstract: A method of creating a multispectral decorrelation model for use in determining a visible image from a multispectral image captured using a multispectral image sensor, the method comprising the steps of: generating, using a plurality of quantum efficiency curves for the multispectral image sensor and a plurality of synthetic light spectrum vectors, a grid of synthetic multispectral pixel values and a corresponding grid of synthetic visible pixel values, wherein each synthetic visible pixel value is substantially decorrelated from a non-visible component of a corresponding synthetic multispectral pixel value; and determining a multispectral decorrelation model using the grid of synthetic multispectral pixel values and the corresponding grid of synthetic visible pixel values, wherein the multispectral decorrelation model in use maps a multispectral pixel value of the multispectral image to a visible pixel value of the visible image.

Abstract: An image enhancement method and system is described. The method comprises receiving an input and target image pair, each of the input and target images including data representing pixel intensities; processing the data to determine a plurality of basis functions, each basis function being determined in dependence on content of the input image, determining a combination of the basis functions to modify the intensity of pixels of the input image to approximate the target image; and applying the plurality of basis functions to the input image to produce an approximation of the target image.
