Abstract
In a first exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an automated, computerized method is provided for processing an image. According to a feature of the present invention, the method comprises the steps of providing an image file depicting an image, in a computer memory, determining intrinsic component information as a function of spatio-spectral information for the image, and calculating analytical information, as a function of the intrinsic component information.
Claims27
An automated, computerized method for processing an image, comprising the steps of:
- providing an image file depicting an image, in a computer memory;
- determining multi-band intrinsic component information as a function of spatio-spectral information for intrinsic material and illumination for surfaces depicted in the image, expressed in a spatial extent of spectral characteristics;
- and
- calculating analytical information as a function of indicia of scene color characteristics expressed by the multi-band intrinsic component information.
A computer system which comprises:
- a CPU;
- and
- a memory storing an image file containing an image;
- the CPU arranged and configured to execute a routine to determine multi-band intrinsic component information as a function of spatio-spectral information for intrinsic material and illumination for surfaces depicted in the image, expressed in a spatial extent of spectral characteristics, and calculate analytical information as a function of indicia of scene color characteristics expressed by the multi-band intrinsic component information.
A computer program product, disposed on a non-transitory computer readable media, the product including computer executable process steps operable to control a computer to:
- provide an image file depicting an image, in a computer memory, determine multi-band intrinsic component information as a function of spatio-spectral information for intrinsic material and illumination for surfaces depicted in the image, expressed in a spatial extent of spectral characteristics, and calculate analytical information as a function of indicia of scene color characteristics expressed by the multi-band intrinsic component information.
A device comprising:
- a CPU;
- a memory storing an image file containing an image;
- the CPU arranged and configured to execute a routine to determine multi-band intrinsic component information as a function of spatio-spectral information for intrinsic material and illumination for surfaces depicted in the image, expressed in a spatial extent of spectral characteristics, and calculate analytical information as a function of indicia of scene color characteristics expressed by the multi-band intrinsic component information;
- and
- a display, coupled to the CPU, for display of the analytical information.
