CLASS-BASED IMAGE ENHANCEMENT SYSTEM
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for image enhancement, comprising:
- providing for a semantic class to be assigned to a digital image based on image content, the assigned semantic class being selected from a plurality of semantic classes; and
providing for an aesthetic enhancement to be applied to the image based on an image quality of the image and the assigned semantic class, the enhancement including at least one enhancement dimension selected from a plurality of enhancement dimensions.

Abstract
A method for image enhancement includes providing for a semantic class to be assigned to a digital image based on image content, the assigned semantic class being selected from a plurality of semantic classes. The method further includes providing for an aesthetic enhancement to be applied to the image based on image quality of the image and the assigned semantic class, the enhancement including at least one enhancement dimension selected from a plurality of enhancement dimensions.

23. An image enhancement system comprising:
-
an image quality component for assigning an image quality to the images, based on image quality parameters of input digital images; an image categorizing component for assigning a semantic class to an input image based on image content; and a model which maps assigned image quality and assigned semantic class to candidate aesthetic enhancements, whereby for at least some of the input images, the enhancement is applied in a mode which is dependent on the assigned semantic class. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26)

27. A method for forming an image enhancement system, comprising:
-
identifying a set of candidate aesthetic enhancement dimensions for applying to digital images based on a measure of image quality; for at least some of the candidate enhancement dimensions, establishing a plurality of discrete modes in which the enhancement dimensions are to be applied; identifying a set of semantic classes to which digital images are to be assigned by an automated categorizer, based on their image content; and mapping the semantic classes and image quality measures to discrete modes of the candidate aesthetic enhancement dimensions. - View Dependent Claims (28)

29. An image processing system which takes as input a digital image and determines a candidate enhancement for the image based on image quality for the image, the image processing system determining whether the image should be assigned to a special effects class and, where the image is assigned to the special effects class, determines that the candidate enhancement is not to be applied.
