Abstract: Image enhancement is achieved by separating image signals, e.g. YCbCr image signals, into a series of frequency bands and performing locally-adaptive noise reduction on bands below a given frequency but not on bands above that frequency. The bands are summed to develop the image enhanced signals. The YCbCr, multi-band locally-adaptive approach to denoising is able to operate independently—and in an optimized fashion—on both luma and chroma channels. Noise reduction is done based on models developed for both luma and chroma channels by measurements taken for multiple frequency bands, in multiple patches on the ColorChecker chart, and at multiple gain levels, in order to develop a simple yet robust set of models that may be tuned off-line a single time for each camera and then applied to images taken by such cameras in real-time without excessive processing requirements and with satisfactory results across illuminant types and lighting conditions.

Abstract: A gamut size metric for use in all phases of color image processing (e.g., capture, transmission, and display) is described. In general, techniques are disclosed for determining a single-valued metric that changes as image content changes. More particularly, techniques disclosed herein may be used to efficiently determine a gamut boundary histogram which may be used to estimate a gamut size metric. A gamut size metric as disclosed herein identifies a minimum size gamut needed to encompass each pixel in an image, where the gamut size is limited at one end by a first device independent gamut (S1), and at another end by a second device independent color space (S2), where S1 is wholly enclosed within S2. The described gamut size metric may be based on strict pixel color value differences. In other embodiments the gamut size metric may take into effect perceptual color differences and significance.

Abstract: The disclosure pertains to techniques for image processing. One such technique comprises a method for image selection, comprising obtaining a sequence of images, detecting one or more objects in one or more images of the sequence of images, determining a location for each detected object in the one or more images, determining a trajectory for each detected object based on a determined location for each respective detected object in two or more images of the sequence of images, determining a trajectory waypoint score for the trajectory of each detected object, determining a set of selected images based on an aggregation of trajectory waypoint scores for each detected object in each respective image, and outputting the set of selected images for presentation.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a wide gamut encoder capable of receiving a wide gamut color image in accordance with a wide gamut standard. The encoder can encode one or more wide gamut color image pixel values into portions of narrow gamut encoding elements for transmission to a video encoder. The encoder can implement an advanced extended YCC format that is backward compatible with a P3 color gamut.

Abstract: Methods, devices and computer readable instructions to generate multi-scale tone curves are disclosed. One method includes finding, for a given input image, a global tone curve that exhibits monotonic behavior. The input image may then be partitioned into a first number of sub-regions. For each sub-region, a local tone curve may be determined that has an output level that is constrained to the global tone curve at one or more first luminance levels so that each sub-region's local tone curve's output follows the global tone curve's monotonic behavior. If the resulting local tone curves provide sufficient control of shadow-boost, highlight-suppression, and contrast optimization the first number of local tone curves may be applied directly to the input image. If additional control is needed, each sub-region may again be partitioned and local tone curves determined for each of the new sub-regions.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided that includes one or more image sensors configured to capture a video feed, an image signal processor configured to perform color correction on the captured video feed based on a brightness level computed from the captured video feed and/or based on a color temperature or illuminant type of the lighting in the captured video feed to generate a corresponding color corrected video feed using a first chromatic adaptation model that is adapted to an immersive viewing condition, and one or more displays configured to output the color corrected video feed. The electronic device can further include a recording pipeline configured to record a version of the captured video feed and can share or transmit the recorded content to an external device. The external device can display the recorded content using a second chromatic adaptation model that is adapted to a non-immersive viewing condition.

Abstract: Techniques for adjusting formats of images and video are presented, for example where an SDR source is presented on an HDR display, or vice versa. Techniques include deriving a conversion profile for image data where the conversion profile is responsive to parameters describing characteristics of a domain of source image data and characteristics of a domain of a target rendering environment. Some techniques include creating a tone curve from weighted basis functions.

Abstract: Displaying wide-gamut images as intended on color-managed wide-gamut display systems while rendering a visually consistent image when rendered on targeted narrow-gamut display systems (regardless of whether the narrow-gamut displays are color-managed). Images represented in accordance with this disclosure are referred to as a dual-target images (DTI): one target being the image's original wide-gamut color space, the other target being a specified narrow-gamut color space. The novel representational scheme retains narrow-gamut rendering for those colors in a wide-gamut image that are within the targeted narrow-gamut color space, transitioning to wide-gamut rendering for those colors in the wide-gamut image that are outside the targeted narrow-gamut color space. This approach minimizes pixel clipping when rendering a wide-gamut image for a narrow-gamut display, while allowing the original wide-gamut pixel values to be recovered when rendering for a wide-gamut display.
