Abstract: A user adaptive image compensator includes a feature extractor, a compensated image generator, an image selector, and a preference parameter updater. The feature extractor extracts features from an input image. The compensated image generator generates compensated preference parameters based on a preference parameter. The compensated image generator generates a plurality of compensated images by compensating the input image based on the compensated preference parameters. The image selector displays the compensated images to a user. The image selector outputs a selected compensated image, which is selected from the compensated images by the user, as an output image. The image selector outputs a selected compensated preference parameter from the compensated preference parameters and which corresponds to the selected compensated image. The preference parameter updater updates the preference parameter based on the selected compensated preference parameter and the extracted features.
