Dynamic multi-windowed image enhancement for interactive HOV detection
First Claim
1. A system for enhancing images comprising:
- an image capture device operably connected to a data processing device that captures an image of a target vehicle; and
a processor-usable non-transitory medium embodying computer code, said processor-usable medium being coupled to said data processing device, said computer program code comprising instructions executable by said processor and configured for;
identifying a region within the image including a window of the target vehicle;
computing a first image enhancement effect for the identified region;
applying the first image enhancement effect to the identified region;
computing a second image enhancement effect for a remainder of the image not including the identified region;
applying the second image enhancement effect to the remainder of the image not including the identified region, the second image enhancement effect different than the first image enhancement effect;
wherein the first and second image enhancement effects are computed independently.

Abstract
A system and method for enhancing images including an image capture device operably connected to a data processing device that captures an image of a target vehicle, and a processor-usable medium embodying computer code, said processor-usable medium being coupled to said data processing device, said computer program code comprising instructions executable by said processor. The instructions configured for identifying a region within the image including a window of the target vehicle, applying a first image enhancement effect to the identified region, applying a second image enhancement effect to a remainder of the image not including the identified region, the second image enhancement effect different than the first image enhancement effect.

10. A computer implemented method of enhancing an image comprising:
-
identifying a target vehicle within the image; identifying a region within the image including a window of the target vehicle; computing a first image enhancement effect for the identified region; applying the first image enhancement effect to the identified region; computing a second image enhancement effect for a remainder of the image not including the identified region; applying the second image enhancement effect to the remainder of the image not including the identified region, the second image enhancement effect different than the first image enhancement effect wherein the identified region is completely surrounded by the remainder of the image. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer-usable medium for enhancing an image, said computer-usable medium embodying a computer program code, said computer program code comprising computer executable instructions configured for:
-
identifying a target vehicle within the image; identifying a region within the image including a window of the target vehicle; computing a first image enhancement effect for the identified region; applying the first image enhancement effect to the identified region to increase the contrast of the identified region; computing a second image enhancement effect for a remainder of the image not including the identified region; applying the second image enhancement effect to the remainder of the image not including the identified region to increase the contrast of the remainder of the image, the second image enhancement effect different than the first image enhancement effect; whereby the contrast of the identified region is increased more than the contrast of the remainder of the image. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
