摘要:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus applied to a widely-used and high-speed color conversion which is utilized in a color printer, a color display apparatus and the like, and provides a novel three-dimensional interpolation operation by use of a triangle-pole shaped interpolation unit-space. Input color signals R,G, and B are converted into lightness signal Y and chromaticity signals Cr, Cb which constitute a three-dimensional space. This three-dimensional space is dissected into rectangular parallelopipeds and is further divided into two prisms having base planes parallel to the chromaticity plane CrCb. A prism judging section 207 judges which of prisms an input color is involved in. There are provided a plurality of color conversion table memories 210.about.215 which store output values corresponding to input values constituting respective points of the prism and difference values of mutual output colors and further difference values of mutual difference values. Stored data in respective color conversion table memories 210.about.215 are weighted by lower-bit signals 205, 206 of the input color signals in multipliers 219, 220, 226, 227, and 230. Then, these data are added in adders 220, 221, 228, 229, and 231 so as to accomplish a linear interpolation using output values of six vertices which constitute the prism.
摘要:
A color converting apparatus is provided with a table memory for storing pieces of color converting data defined in an output color space at color converting addresses, and a signal receiving section for receiving three signals designating an input color in a lightness-color difference space. The color converting addresses are placed at lattice points of cubic blocks formed by partitioning the lightness-color difference space in a lightness direction and first and second color difference directions. Each of the cubic blocks has the lattice points Pa, Pb, Pc and Pd at its lower plane and the lattice points Pe, Pf, Pg and Ph at its upper plane. Each of the cubic blocks is partitioned into a first triangular prism having the lattice points Pa, Pb, Pc, Pe, Pf and Pg and a second triangular prism having the lattice points Pa, Pd, Pc, Pe, Ph and Pg. A particular triangular prism in which the input color is included is specified, and six pieces of color converting data Da, Db (or Dd), Dc, De, Df (or Dh) and Dg addressed at the lattice points Pa, Pb (or Pd), Pc, Pe (or Ph), Pf of the particular triangular prism are read out from the table memory, and an output color which corresponds to the input color and is defined in the output space is interpolated with the color converting data read out.

A shadow portion is distinguished in a given image (S2 to S6). On the shadow portion, a conversion process based on the brightness value of a pixel is performed (S7), while on a portion other than the shadow portion, a conversion process based on the surface normal parameter which represents the surface normal of a photograph subject is performed (S8 and S9).

To provide an image-capturing apparatus and an image-capturing method which keeps, even when an object or a photographer moves, the object-missing capturing to a minimum and which allows recording for a longer period of time. The image-capturing apparatus (100) includes: a focal length calculating unit (103) which calculates the focal length of the multifocal optical lens so that the zoom factor becomes smaller than a set zoom factor when movement is detected, and calculates the focal length so that the zoom factor becomes equivalent to the set zoom factor when movement is not detected; a recording media unit (108) for storing a captured image and the zoom factor along with time; a frame area setting unit (111) which sets, according to the zoom factor, a frame ICF to be clipped out of the captured image that is an output from the pickup device unit (104); an electronic zoom processing unit (112) which generates, through electronic zoom, a framing image (IDF) from the frame area (ICF); and a framing image display unit (113) which displays the framing image (IDF).

An albedo estimating section produces an albedo image of an object from an original image captured by an image-capturing section by using light source information estimated by a light source information estimating section and shape information of the object obtained by a shape information obtaining section. An albedo super-resolution section performs super-resolution of the albedo image according to a conversion rule obtained from an albedo DB. A super-resolution section produces a high-resolution image obtained by performing super-resolution of the original image by using the super-resolution albedo image, the light source information and the shape information.

An image feature analyzing section performs an image feature analysis with respect to an input image to output an image feature vector. A parameter output section stores a plurality of image feature vectors and a plurality of parameters corresponding to the respective image feature vectors and outputs an original parameter value corresponding to an image feature vector. A parameter operation setting section determines contents of an operation of an illumination equation parameter, depending on a prescribed image conversion. A parameter operating section operates the original parameter value in accordance with a prescription of the parameter operation setting section, to obtain a new parameter value. An image generating section generates an output image based on the new parameter value.

In a learning process, first, images having different resolutions are obtained from a target region of the subject (S101). Further, the subject characteristic of the target region is obtained (S102). Then, the resolution conversion rules are learned from the images having different resolutions, and those are recorded to a storage device along with the subject characteristics (S103). When converting the resolutions, the resolution conversion rules learned for the corresponding subject characteristics are applied to each region of the original image so as to convert the resolutions of the original image.
