Color correction of imagery having different levels-of-detail

A computing system comprising:

• a logic subsystem;
• a storage subsystem holding instructions executable by the logic subsystem to:
• receive a plurality of images of a scene having different levels of detail;
• determine a first color correction based on a first reference image and a first target image of the plurality of images, where the first reference image has a first level of detail and the first target image has a second level of detail greater that the first level of detail of the first reference image;
• apply the first color correction to the first target image to generate a first color-corrected image having the second level of detail;
• determine a second color correction based on the first color-corrected image and a second target image of the plurality of images, where the second target image has a third level of detail greater than the second level of detail of the first color-corrected image;
• and
• apply the second color correction to the second target image to generate a second color-corrected image having the third level of detail.

A method for color correcting imagery performed by a computing system, the method comprising:

• receiving a plurality of images of a scene having different levels of detail;
• determining a first color correction based on a first reference image and a first target image of the plurality of images, where the first reference image has a first level of detail and the first target image has a second level of detail greater that the first level of detail of the first reference image, and where the first color correction includes a first contrast correction transformation matrix of coefficients and a first brightness correction transformation matrix of coefficients;
• applying the first color correction to the first target image to generate a first color-corrected image having the second level of detail;
• determining a second color correction based on the first color-corrected image and a second target image of the plurality of images, where the second target image has a third level of detail greater than the second level of detail of the first color-corrected image and where the second color correction includes a second contrast correction transformation matrix of coefficients and a second brightness correction transformation matrix of coefficients;
• sending, via a computer network, coefficients of the first contrast correction transformation matrix and/or coefficients of the first brightness correction transformation matrix of the first color correction and coefficients of the second contrast correction transformation matrix and/or coefficients of the second brightness correction transformation matrix of the second color correction to a remote computing system configured to store the first target image and the second target image, and where the remote computing system is configured to apply the first color correction to the first target image to generate the first color-corrected image and apply the second color correction to the second target image to generate the second color-corrected image.
