    摘要: An auto white balance adjusting method includes determining a white pixel area according to a standard of a first color space, selecting a plurality of pixels of an image according to the white pixel area, generating an average color value of the plurality of pixels in the first color space, converting the average color value in the first color space to three primary color gains in a second color space, generating three primary color target gains according to the three primary color gains and a color temperature curve, and gradually adjusting a white balance of the image to meet the three primary color target gains according to the average color value in the first color space and the three primary color gains in the second color space. The first color space and the second color space are different.

    摘要: There is provided an image processing apparatus. An obtaining unit obtains a first image to which tone conversion processing conforming to a first input/output characteristic having a first maximum output luminance value has been applied. A generation unit generates first correction information for correcting a luminance value of the first image based on a difference regarding an output luminance value between the first input/output characteristic and a second input/output characteristic having a second maximum output luminance value, and on second correction information for correcting a luminance value of a second image to which tone conversion processing conforming to the second input/output characteristic has been applied. A correction unit corrects a luminance value of the first image in conformity to the first correction information.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods for detecting and utilizing saliency in digital images. In one implementation, salient objects may be detected based on analysis of pixel characteristics. Least frequently occurring pixel values may be deemed as salient. Pixel values in an image may be compared to a reference. Color distance may be determined based on a difference between reference color and pixel color. Individual image channels may be scaled when determining saliency in a multi-channel image. Areas of high saliency may be analyzed to determine object position, shape, and/or color. Multiple saliency maps may be additively or multiplicative combined in order to improve detection performance (e.g., reduce number of false positives). Methodologies described herein may enable robust tracking of objects utilizing fewer determination resources. Efficient implementation of the methods described below may allow them to be used for example on board a robot (or autonomous vehicle) or a mobile determining platform.
