发明名称 Method and system for generating enhanced images
摘要 A method of generating an image enhancement function for enhancing an input image comprising a plurality of pixels to form an enhanced output image. The method includes receiving a reference image comprising a plurality of pixels; receiving an enhanced image derived from the reference image comprising a corresponding plurality of pixels; calculating a plurality of lookup tables, each of which maps a first plurality of pixel values to a second plurality of pixel values; and generating the image enhancement function comprising a spatially varying function of the lookup tables which when applied to the reference image generates an approximation to the enhanced image.

主权项 1. A method of generating an image enhancement function for enhancing an input image comprising a plurality of pixels to form an enhanced output image comprising a plurality of pixels, the method comprising: receiving a reference image comprising a plurality of pixels; receiving an enhanced image comprising a corresponding plurality of pixels, wherein the enhanced image is derived from the reference image; calculating a plurality of lookup tables, wherein each lookup table maps a first plurality of pixel values to a second plurality of pixel values; and generating the image enhancement function based on the lookup tables and which, when applied to the input image, forms the output image, wherein the relationship between brightness of a pixel of the output image and brightness of a pixel of the input image depends at least in part on lookup tables of pixels that have a brightness quantization level in common with the pixel of the input image, wherein the image enhancement function, when applied to the reference image, generates an approximation of the enhanced image, wherein the lookup tables of the brightness quantization level are weighted at least in part based on spatial location and at least in part based on a likelihood that the brightness quantization level is represented at a given pixel location.
