Abstract:
Spatial color algorithms (SCAs) are algorithms grounded in the retinex theory of color sensation that, mimicking the human visual system, perform image enhancement based on the spatial arrangement of the scene. Despite their established role in image enhancement, their potential as dequantizers has never been investigated. Here, we aim to assess the effectiveness of SCAs in addressing the dual objectives of color dequantization and image enhancement at the same time. To this end, we propose the term dequantenhancement. In this paper, through two experiments on a dataset of images, SCAs are evaluated through two distinct pathways: first, quantization followed by filtering to assess both dequantization and enhancement; and second, filtering applied to original images before quantization as further investigation of mainly the dequantization effect. The results are presented both qualitatively, with visual examples, and quantitatively, through metrics including the number of colors, retinal-like subsampling contrast (RSC), and structural similarity index (SSIM).

Size constancy is the recognition that an object remains the same size, even when its image on the retina changes. For instance, a bus is perceived to be large enough to carry people, even if it looks tiny from...
Convolution Properties II
The width property indicates that if the durations of input signals are T1 and T2, then the width of the output response equals the sum of both durations, irrespective of the shapes of the two functions. For instance, convolving two rectangular pulses with durations of 2 seconds and 1 second results in a function with a width of 3 seconds.
