摘要:
A method for enhancing an image includes applying an auto-level transformation to an original image to form a first image, applying an auto-contrast transformation to the original image to form a second image, and applying an auto-brightness transformation to the original image to form a third image. The method further includes applying a color cast correction to the first, the second, and the third images to generate a first group of images, applying a gamma correction to the first group of images to generate a second group of images, applying a sharpening correction to the second group of images to generate a third group of images, and presenting the third group of images to a user to select a final result.

A method for simulating an image captured at a long exposure time (“simulated image”), includes (1) capturing each of first, second, and third images at a short exposure time, (2) determining a first relative motion between the first and the second images, (3) transforming the first image to remove the first relative motion, (4) determining a second relative motion between the third and the second images, (5) transforming the third image to remove the second relative motion, and (6) combining the first, the second, and the third images to form the simulated image. Relative motions between images are determined by matching blocks at multiple resolutions to determine corresponding points between the images. Transformation to remove relative motion is determined by fitting corresponding points between the images using a minimum square error (MSE) algorithm in a random sample consensus (RANSAC) framework.

A method for removing a red eye from an image includes (1) calculating a weighted red value for each pixel in the image from red, green, and blue color values and a luminance value of each pixel in the image, (2) selecting a plurality of pixels in the image having weighted red values greater than a threshold as red eye pixels, and (3) correcting some of the red eye pixels to remove the red eye from the image. The weighted red value for a pixel is calculated as follows: f = c 1 r + c 2 g + c 3 b Y , wherein f is the weighted red value, r is the red color value, g is the green color value, b is the blue color value, c1 is a first weight given to the red color value, c2 is a second weigh given to the green color value, c3 is a third weight given to the blue color value, and Y is the luminance.

A method for generating texture includes (1) selecting a target patch to be filled in a image, (2) selecting a sample patch as a candidate for filling the target patch, (3) determining a first difference between a first area surrounding the target patch and a corresponding first area surrounding the sample patch, and a second difference between a second area surrounding the target patch and a corresponding second area surrounding the sample patch, (4) multiplying a larger of the first difference and the second difference with a first weight factor, and a smaller of the first difference and the second difference with a second weight factor, and (5) summing the weighted first difference and the weighted second difference as a distance between the target patch and the sample patch.

A method for aligning images includes (1) selecting a pair of overlapping pixels when two second image are aligned with a camera motion; (2) if both pixels are edge pixels, incrementing a correlation value between the two images for the camera motion; (3) if only one of pixels is an edge pixel, decrementing the correlation value between the two images for the camera motion; (4) repeating steps (1) to (3) for other pairs of overlapping pixels in the two images to determine the correlation value for the camera motion. The method further includes (5) repeating steps (1) to (4) for other camera motions; (6) selecting camera motions having large correlation values; (7) determining matched edge counts for members of the group; (8) selecting the camera motion with the largest matched edge count; and (8) aligning the two images with the selected camera motion.
