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.
