PURPLE-FRINGE CORRECTION METHOD AND PURPLE-FRINGE CORRECTION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17509729 titled 'PURPLE-FRINGE CORRECTION METHOD AND PURPLE-FRINGE CORRECTION DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for correcting purple-fringe distortion in images. The method involves determining the distance between a pixel in the purple-fringe area and both an overexposed area and a non-overexposed, non-purple-fringe area in the image. The pixel in the purple-fringe area is then corrected based on these distances.

  • The method corrects purple-fringe distortion in images.
  • It determines the distance between a pixel in the purple-fringe area and an overexposed area in the image.
  • It also determines the distance between the pixel in the purple-fringe area and a non-overexposed, non-purple-fringe area in the image.
  • The pixel in the purple-fringe area is corrected based on these distances.

Potential Applications

  • Photography: This method can be applied to correct purple-fringe distortion in photographs, improving the overall quality of the images.
  • Image processing software: The method can be integrated into image processing software to automatically correct purple-fringe distortion in images, saving time and effort for photographers and editors.

Problems Solved

  • Purple-fringe distortion: The method addresses the issue of purple-fringe distortion that can occur in images, particularly in high-contrast areas or when using certain lenses.
  • Overexposure: The method takes into account the distance between the purple-fringe area and the overexposed area, allowing for accurate correction of the purple-fringe effect.

Benefits

  • Improved image quality: By correcting purple-fringe distortion, the method enhances the overall quality and aesthetics of images.
  • Time-saving: The method provides an automated solution for correcting purple-fringe distortion, reducing the need for manual editing and saving time for photographers and editors.


Original Abstract Submitted

A purple-fringe correction method includes determining: (1) a first distance between a first pixel in a purple-fringe area in an image and an overexposed area in the image and (2) a second distance between the first pixel and a non-overexposed, non-purple-fringe area in the image. The first pixel in the purple-fringe area is corrected based on the first distance and the second distance.
