  • Patent number: 9736338
    Abstract: Corrected color components are obtained that correspond to an interpolation between a first and second corrected color component vector, in the first vector the color component are scaled to move a characteristic color component vector towards a target and in the second set the color components are contracted towards a reference determined by part of the color components. A position of the interpolation between the first and second corrected color component vectors is controlled by an interpolation coefficient computed from a ratio of an average value of the at least one of the color component in the input image or one or more reference images with similar content and an average obtained from the other color components of the input image or the or one or more reference images with similar content. The position of the interpolation is moved increasingly toward the second corrected color component vector with decreasing values of said ratio.

  • Patent number: 8629908
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting a moving object in a sequence of images captured by a moving camera. The method comprises the step of constructing a multiple number of difference images by subtracting image values in corresponding pixels of multiple pairs of images being based on captured images. Further, the method comprises the step of retrieving a moving object by extracting spatial information of pixels in the multiple number of constructed difference images having relatively large image values. In addition, from a pair of images in the construction step an image is a representation of a high resolution image having a higher spatial resolution than original captured images on which the high resolution image is based.

  • Publication number: 20050002046
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of transforming a colour image, wherein for each separate pixel a measured level of lightness, a measured chroma and a measured colour is determined, followed by a predetermined adjustment in the three-dimensional level of lightness, chroma and colour, wherein a. for each separate pixel a direction of adjustment is determined by selection of a three-dimensional adjustment level for lightness, chroma and colour change, b. and in that at the three-dimensional adjustment level selected the maximum available lightness change is determined, whereafter c. for each separate pixel the measured lightness level, the measured chroma and the measured colour is changed in the direction of the selected three-dimensional adjustment level in concurrence with a predetermined function, which at most amounts to the maximum available lightness change at the selected three-dimensional adjustment level.
