Abstract: A method for processing a video is disclosed. The method comprises: obtaining a type and an angle of a template for each picture of said video independently, each template defining a portion of harmonious color values; temporally filtering said types and angles over said video; processing each picture of the video, wherein processing the picture comprises mapping the colors of the picture into the template associated with said picture and defined by said filtered type and said filtered angle.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a method for creating a perceptual harmony map of an image, wherein it comprises: calculating a multi-resolution decomposition of the image, at each resolution level, for each harmonious color template, computing an optimal rotation angle and an harmony distance for the hue value associated with each pixel of the image at the resolution level, and computing a harmony distance map by weighting the sum of said harmony distances, calculating a contrast map and an entropy activity map obtaining a perceptual harmony map by integrating together the contrast map the entropy activity map and the harmony distance map, and obtaining a perceptual map by accumulating the perceptual harmony maps. The invention also relates to a method and apparatus for assessing the quality of an image.

Abstract: A method for processing a picture is disclosed. The method according to the invention comprises: segmenting the picture into a background layer and at least another layer; selecting a background template of color harmony for the background layer; determining one template of color harmony for each of the at least another layer from the background template of color harmony depending on the distance between the background layer and said at least another layer. processing the picture by mapping the colors of each segmented layer using the corresponding template of color harmony.
