Abstract

Color transfer is an image editing process that naturally transfers the color theme of a source image to a target image. In this paper, we propose a 3D color homography model which approximates photo-realistic color transfer algorithm as a combination of a 3D perspective transform and a mean intensity mapping. A key advantage of our approach is that the re-coded color transfer algorithm is simple and accurate. Our evaluation demonstrates that our 3D color homography model delivers leading color transfer re-coding performance. In addition, we also show that our 3D color homography model can be applied to color transfer artifact fixing, complex color transfer acceleration, and color-robust image stitching.

Highlights

  • Color palette modification for pictures/frames is often required in professional photograph editing as well as the video postproduction

  • We propose a simple and general model for re-coding an unknown photo-realistic color transfer which provides leading accuracy and the color transfer algorithm can be decomposed into meaningful parts

  • We assume that we have an input image and an output produced by a color transfer algorithm

Summary

Introduction

Color palette modification for pictures/frames is often required in professional photograph editing as well as the video postproduction. This color transfer process is a complex task that requires artists to carefully adjust for multiple properties such as exposure, brightness, white point, and color mapping. 2.1 Photo-realistic color transfer transfer method that distorts the color distribution by random 3D rotation and per-channel histogram matching until the distributions of the two images are fully aligned. A luminance alignment is later performed by histogram matching along the “gray” axis of RGB They adopt a 3D convex hull mapping to limit the color-transferred RGBs to the gamut of the target RGBs. Other approaches (e.g., [1,25,28]) solve for several local color transfers rather than a single global color transfer. As most non-global color transfer methods are essentially a blend of several single color transfer steps, a global color transfer method is extendable for multi-transfer algorithms
