    摘要: A method for determining an estimated clutter level of an input digital image based on an inequality index. The inequality index is determined by analyzing the input digital image to determine a set of image features. The image features are associated with a set of designated reference features, and the inequality index is determined based on the statistical variation of the reference features. A set of scene content features relating to spatial structures or semantic content of the input digital image is determined by analyzing the input digital image. The estimated clutter is determined responsive to the inequality index and the scene content features.

    摘要: A method for determining an estimated clutter level of an input digital image based on an inequality index. The inequality index is determined by partitioning the input digital image into small sub-images and analyzing the sub-images to determine a set of image features. The image features are associated with a set of designated reference features, and the inequality index is determined based on the statistical variation of the reference features. The inequality index is compared to a predefined threshold to classify the input digital image as a rich-content image or a low-content image. For rich-content images, the estimated clutter level is determined responsive to a set of scene content features relating to spatial structures or semantic content of the input digital image is determined by analyzing the input digital image. For low-content images, the estimated clutter level is determined responsive to an overall luminance level.

    摘要: A method for selecting a digital image having controlled sharpness characteristics from a set of candidate digital images of a common scene, each digital image having different sharpness characteristics. An image segmentation process is used to segment each of the candidate digital images into a subject region and a background region. For each candidate digital image the subject and background regions are analyzed to determine an associated subject and background sharpness levels. An output digital image is selected by comparing the determined subject and background sharpness levels to respective aim subject and background sharpness levels. In some embodiments, the aim subject and background sharpness levels are defined in accordance with a scene type classification.
