Image enhancement method and apparatus
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method performed by at least one processor of a computer system, the method comprising:
- segmenting, using a processor, pixels of an image into background pixels and non-background pixels;
computing, using a processor, a color scaling factor based on the color of the background pixels compared to white; and
applying, using a processor, the color scaling factor to the background pixels and the non-background pixels.

Abstract
An image enhancement method includes segmenting pixels of an image into background pixels and non-background pixels and computing a color scaling factor based on the color of the background pixels compared to white. The color scaling factor is then applied to the background pixels and the non-background pixels.

18. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a memory for storing computer executable instructions; and a processing unit for accessing the memory and executing the computer executable instructions, the computer executable instructions comprising; a segmentation module operable to segment pixels of an image into background pixels and non-background pixels; and a color correction module operable to compute a color scaling factor based on the color of the background pixels compared to white, and apply the color scaling factor to the background pixels and the non-background pixels. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
