Abstract
This invention relates to methods for enhancing an image by expanding the color contrast of the image presented to a wider range of colors that is optimized for the item sought to be viewed. The method also increases contrast of an image or a portion of an image for example an in vivo image captured by an autonomous in vivo device. A user interface with a display provides the user with the option of viewing selected images captured by the in-vivo imaging device in either regular view or in a color enhanced view to enable more distinct viewing of the selected images.
Claims15
A method of increasing contrast of an image, the method comprising:
- receiving an image in a first color space;
- determining a color transformation for the image;
- and
- using the color transformation to construct a color-expanded image, wherein the color transformation expands the range of colors of at least a portion of the image.
