Automatic White Balance Algorithm of Airborne Camera

Article Preview

Abstract:

Automatic white balance algorithm (AWB) is significant for color temperature restoration of digital imaging system. According to the limitations and disadvantages of existing traditional white balance methods, in this paper a new AWB algorithm for airborne camera is proposed. Using RGB and histogram information divide the input image into different color character regions; according to the color richness level, adopt different white balance algorithms to achieve chromatic aberration adjustment. Experiment results show the effectiveness of the proposed AWB algorithm for airborne camera.
