Plenary lecture VI: content aware image processing
Raimondo Schettini · 2008
The great diffusion of digital cameras and the widespread use of the internet have produced a mass of digital images depicting a huge variety of subjects, generally acquired by non-professional photographers using unknown imaging systems under unknown lighting conditions. The quality of these real-world photos can be considerably improved by digital image processing. In this lecture we describe our approach for content-aware image processing and enhancement. According to our approach, the overall quality of a digital photo is improved by modular, fully automatic, image enhancement procedures driven by the image class and content. Single processing modules can be considered as autonomous elements that are suitably combined to improve the overall quality according to image and defect categories.
