This study introduces a blind method to estimate gamma correction in images without calibration data. The technique uses polyspectral analysis to detect frequency domain correlations introduced by gamma correction.

Area of Science:

  • Image processing
  • Signal processing
  • Computer vision

Background:

  • Luminance nonlinearity in imaging devices is often modeled by gamma correction.
  • Estimating gamma correction typically requires calibration information or device knowledge.
  • Blind estimation of image processing parameters is a significant challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a technique for blindly estimating the degree of gamma correction applied to images.
  • To provide a method that does not require prior knowledge of the imaging device or calibration data.

Main Methods:

  • Exploiting higher-order correlations introduced by gamma correction in the frequency domain.
  • Utilizing polyspectral analysis tools to detect these specific correlations.
  • Estimating the gamma correction level by minimizing the detected correlations.
