    摘要: This invention provides a method for automated image enhancement. Attribute measurements are extracted from a digital image and used for the generation of at least a noise threshold parameter, a sharpness parameter and a radicality parameter. The noise threshold parameter and sharpness parameter are evaluated to determine the degree of noise reduction and the degree of sharpening to be performed, collectively a determined enhancement. The determined enhancement is applied to derive a nominally enhanced image. With respect to the radicality parameter, the output image is the weighted average between the initial image and the nominally enhanced image.

    摘要: Systems and methods of face and skin sensitive image enhancement are disclosed. In one aspect, a face map that includes for each pixel of an input image a respective face probability value indicating a degree to which the pixel corresponds to a human face is calculated. A skin map that includes for each pixel of the input image a respective skin probability value indicating a degree to which the pixel corresponds to human skin is ascertained. The input image is enhanced with an enhancement level that varies pixel-by-pixel in accordance with the respective face probability values and the respective skin probability values. In another aspect, a facial content measurement value indicating a degree to which an input image contains human face content is ascertained. A tone-correction process is tuned in accordance with the facial content measurement value. The input image is enhanced in accordance with the tuned tone-correction process.

    摘要: A method for estimating image noise. Image data for at least one column of pixels and at least one row of pixels of the image is sampled. At least one filter is applied on sampled image data resulting in at least one sequence of filtered values. A feature set of pixels of the image is selected. Image noise estimation is determined based on at least one of the filtered values of the feature set of pixels.

    摘要: A component of a color printing system, such as lookup tables for converting requested marking-agent coverages to corresponding half-tone screen sizes, is calibrated. The calibration can be effected off an arbitrary image and involves making reflectance spectrum measures of the printed image at multiple locations. Expected reflectance measures for each measurement location are computed based on the requested coverage value for each of the marking agents printed there. The computed measures may be dependent on a parameter. A value of the parameter is determined that minimizes the aggregate differences between the sensed and expected reflectance-spectrum measures, and this value is then used in calibrating the component.
