Abstract: A method is provided for correcting lightness of an image using a multiscale retinex. Lightness of a subject pixel of an original image is corrected using a convolution operation of a surround function and surround pixels with respect to the subject pixel of the original image, and the convolution operation is performed over a plurality of scales. The surround function has a simplified model such that a value of the surround function is changed in a stepwise way along two axes orthogonal to each other.
Abstract: A method for correcting lightness of an image includes the steps of: calculating a first scale and a second scale based on an image scale of an original image from image information of the original image; multiscale retinex processing the original image with respect to the first scale and the second scale; and synthesizing a result of the multiscale retinex processing with the image information of the original image.
