Abstract
A program storage device is readable by a machine, which tangibly embodies a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform method steps for modifying color of an image captured in a digitized, color form. The method comprises the steps of sequentially modifying each portion of the image by a color matrix; determining when a portion of the modified image contains a predetermined fluorescent level; and further modifying only the portion of the image containing the predetermined fluorescent level by varying a fluorescent modification factor until a desired fluorescent level is obtained.
Claims5
A program storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform method steps for modifying color of an image captured in a digitized, color form, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) sequentially modifying each portion of the image by a color matrix;
- (b) determining when a portion of the modified image contains a predetermined fluorescent level;
- and
- (c) further modifying only the portion of the image containing the predetermined fluorescent level by varying a fluorescent modification factor until a desired fluorescent level is obtained.
An article of manufacture comprising:
- a computer usable medium having computer readable program code means embodied therein for causing an image captured in a digitized, color form to be modified, the computer readable program code means in the article of manufacture comprising:
- (a) computer readable program code means for causing a computer to effect sequentially modifying each portion of the image by a color matrix;
- (b) computer readable program code means for causing a computer to effect determining when a portion of the modified image contains a predetermined fluorescent level;
- and
- (c) computer readable program code means for causing a computer to effect further modifying only the portion of the image containing the predetermined fluorescent level by varying a fluorescent modification factor until a desired fluorescent level is obtained.
