Segmentation-Based Automatic White Balance Algorithm

Article Preview

Abstract:

Classic automatic white balance algorithm always been invalidity when there are large color-blocks or less of highlights points occurred in cast images. In this literature, an improved automatic adjustment algorithm based on image segmentation is proposed to resolve the problem mentioned above. First, color images were transformed to HSV color space and low saturation area was segmented from S channel. And then, adjustment parameters were calculated by selected points. Experimental results show that the algorithm can effectively correct varied cast image with low computational complexity, and are suitable for various scenarios.
