APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MAPPING RAW IMAGES BETWEEN DIFFERENT CAMERA SENSORS UNDER ARBITRARY ILLUMINATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18227456 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MAPPING RAW IMAGES BETWEEN DIFFERENT CAMERA SENSORS UNDER ARBITRARY ILLUMINATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for processing image data by transforming an input image captured by one image sensor to have the characteristics of a different image sensor.
- Obtaining a raw input image captured by a first image sensor under a specific illumination condition.
- Using a transform estimator to determine a color transform that maps the characteristics of the first image sensor to those of a second image sensor.
- Generating a raw output image with the characteristics of the second image sensor based on the raw input image and the color transform.
Potential Applications
- Image processing in digital cameras to improve image quality under different lighting conditions.
- Color correction in photography and video production.
- Enhancing image consistency across different devices and platforms.
Problems Solved
- Addressing color discrepancies between different image sensors.
- Improving image quality and color accuracy in varying lighting conditions.
- Streamlining image processing workflows for consistent output.
Benefits
- Enhanced image quality and color accuracy.
- Improved consistency in image processing across different devices.
- Streamlined workflow for photographers and videographers.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for processing image data, including obtaining a raw input image that is captured using a first image sensor under an input illumination condition; obtaining, using a transform estimator, a color transform that maps a characteristic of the first image sensor to a characteristic of a second image sensor, based on the input illumination condition; and generating a raw output image having the characteristic of the second image sensor based on the raw input image and the color transform.
