Color Balance

White balance (WB) is the process of removing unrealistic color casts, so that objects which appear white in person are rendered white in your photo. Proper camera white balance has to take into account the "color temperature" of a light source, which refers to the relative warmth or coolness of white light. Our eyes are very good at judging what is white under different light sources, but digital cameras often have great difficulty with auto white balance (AWB) — and can create unsightly blue, orange, or even green color casts. Understanding digital white balance can help you avoid these color casts, thereby improving your photos under a wider range of lighting conditions.
White Balance: Matching Human Perception

White Balance: Matching Human Perception• To simulate human eyes white balance: adjusting
colors so that the image looks more natural
• Adjustable channel gain for each color channel
• General approaches• Gray world assumption
• Perfect reflector assumption
• Calibration based approaches
• What if data are nonlinear?

Bad Pixel Correction
• Non-perfect image sensors
• More than what the spec. claims• Judgment standards are different!
• Must be done in raw data space to prevent bad pixels from polluting neighborhood
• Considering edge and gradient information

Tone Mapping
Tone mapping is a technique used in image processing and
computer graphics to map one set of colors to another to
approximate the appearance of high-dynamic-range (HDR)
images in a medium that has a more limited dynamic range.
Point-outs, CRT, or LCD monitors, and projectors all have a
limited dynamic range that is inadequate to reproduce the full
range of light intensities present in natural scenes.
Tone mapping addresses the problem of strong contrast
reduction from the scene radiance to the displayable range
while preserving the image details and color appearance important to appreciate the original scene content.

Tone MappingThe goals of tone mapping can be differently stated depending
on the particular application. In some cases producing just
aesthetically pleasing images is the main goal, while other
applications might emphasize reproducing as many image
details as possible, or maximizing the image contrast.
Various tone mapping operators have been developed in the recent years. They all can be divided in two main types: (a) global (or spatially uniform) operators: they are non-linear functions based on the luminance and other global variables of the image. (b) local (or spatially varying) operators: the parameters of the non-linear function change in each pixel, according to features extracted from the surrounding parameters.

Gamma Correction
Gamma is an important but seldom understood characteristic of virtually all digital imaging systems. It defines the relationship between a pixel's numerical value and its actual luminance. Without gamma, shades captured by digital cameras wouldn't appear as they did to our eyes (on a standard monitor). It's also referred to as gamma correction, gamma encoding or gamma compression, but these all refer to a similar concept. Understanding how gamma works can improve one's exposure technique, in addition to helping one make the most of image editing.
![Page 68: ISP: Image Signal ProcessingWhite balance (WB) is the process of removing unrealistic color casts, so that objects which appear white in person are rendered white in your photo.

Gamma Correction
1. Our eyes do not perceive light the way cameras do. With a digital camera, when twice the number of photons hit the sensor, it receives twice the signal (a "linear" relationship). That's not how our eyes work. Instead, we perceive twice the light as being only a fraction brighter — and increasingly so for higher light intensities (a "nonlinear" relationship).
2. Gamma encoded images store tones more efficiently. Since gamma encoding redistributes tonal levels closer to how our eyes perceive them, fewer bits are needed to describe a given tonal range. Otherwise, an excess of bits would be devoted to describe the brighter tones (where the camera is relatively more sensitive), and a shortage of bits would be left to describe the darker tones.

Color and Gamma Correction
• Image sensor’s color sensitivity is different from human eyes.
• A 3x3 matrix multiplication and a nonlinear gamma mapping are used to correct color to match TRUE color. However, there is no TRUE color.
• Color target is used to replace TRUE color.
• Correction means solving best matrix and gamma.
• sRGB assumes 2.2 gamma correction but...• No one really cares.
• Perceptive correctness is the truth.

Noise Reduction
• What is noise?• Unnatural artifacts: power, readout, flicker...
• Too many possible noise sources
• Focus on removing noise sources first
• Should we reduce noise in raw or YUV space?• Raw data space
• Prevent noise from going into remaining steps of image pipeline and being magnified further
• YUV space• More information to reduce noise correctly.

Noise Reduction via Bilateral Filter
A bilateral filter is a non-linear, edge-preserving, and noise-
reducing smoothing filter for images. It replaces the intensity of each pixel with a weighted average of intensity values from nearby pixels.

• The sum of the kernel entries is 1 due to the normalization,
• The center entry in the kernel is the largest,
• Subject to the above, the kernel can take any form (as opposed to filters which are monotonically decreasing).

Filter Parameters
As proposed by Tomasi and Manduchi, the filter is controlled by 3 parameters:
The filter can be applied for several iterations in order to further strengthen its edge-preserving smoothing
N(u) – The neighbor size of the filter support,c – The variance of the spatial distances,s – The variance of the value distances,

Additional Comments
The bilateral filter is a powerful filter:
- Can work with any reasonable distances function Ws
and Wc,
- Easily extended to higher dimension signals, e.g. Images, video, mesh, animation data etc.
- Easily extended to vectored-signals, e.g. Color images, etc.

Machine Learning for Noise Reduction
To support noise reduction or obtain original image from
its noisy image (observed image), we can have two
learning-based approaches:
(a) learning the denoising function F:
x_original = F(y_observed);
(b) learning the noise image (residual image) n:
x_original = y_observed - n.

Machine Learning for Joint Noise Reduction and De-Mosaicking
To solve the joint demosaicking-denoising problem, one of the most
frequently used approaches in the literature relies on the following
linear observation model
![Page 123: ISP: Image Signal ProcessingWhite balance (WB) is the process of removing unrealistic color casts, so that objects which appear white in person are rendered white in your photo. Proper](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052010/6020959c0c24cf1cbb4d628a/html5/thumbnails/123.jpg)
Edge Enhancement
• A must - all cameras add edges
• General approaches• Edge filter: NxN, 1xN+Nx1
• Edge gain control
• Edge detection module
• Noise should not be enhanced
![Page 124: ISP: Image Signal ProcessingWhite balance (WB) is the process of removing unrealistic color casts, so that objects which appear white in person are rendered white in your photo. Proper](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052010/6020959c0c24cf1cbb4d628a/html5/thumbnails/124.jpg)
Unlike some forms of image sharpening, edge
enhancement does not enhance subtle detail which
may appear in more uniform areas of the image, such
as texture or grain which appears in flat or smooth
areas of the image. The benefit to this is that
imperfections in the image reproduction, such as
grain or noise, or imperfections in the subject, such as
natural imperfections on a person's skin, are not
made more obvious by the process.
A drawback to this is that the image may begin to look
less natural, because the apparent sharpness of the
overall image has increased but the level of detail in flat, smooth areas has not.
Edge Enhancement
![Page 125: ISP: Image Signal ProcessingWhite balance (WB) is the process of removing unrealistic color casts, so that objects which appear white in person are rendered white in your photo. Proper](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052010/6020959c0c24cf1cbb4d628a/html5/thumbnails/125.jpg)
Edge Enhancement
As with other forms of image sharpening, edge enhancement
is only capable of improving the perceived sharpness or
acutance of an image. The enhancement is not completely
reversible, and as such some detail in the image is lost as a
result of filtering. Further sharpening operations on the
resulting image compound the loss of detail, leading to artifacts
such as ringing. An example of this can be seen when an
image that has already had edge enhancement applied, such
as the picture on a DVD video, has further edge enhancement
applied by the DVD player it is played on, and possibly also by
the television it is displayed on. Essentially, the first edge
enhancement filter creates new edges on either side of the existing edges, which are then further enhanced.

Conclusions• Error Propagation: ISP contains a set of
sequential operations (outputs of previous operator are the inputs of current operator), thus the mistakes for previous steps will translate into next step and such mistakes may be enlarged step-by-step;
•Huge Potential Combinations: All these operators are optimized in a step-by-step and back-and-forth way, thus when one parameter or one operator is changed, we have to fine tune all the relevant parameters, which is very time-consuming.
