Gray image colorization algorithm based on image segmentation and region matching
Aiming at the problem of the color mistransmission of the traditional color transfer algorithm which only carries out the global color transfer and doesn't consider the local features of the image. A gray image colorization algorithm based on Graph-Based image segmentation and region matching is proposed. The target image and the reference image are segmented into a plurality of sub-regions whose luminance and texture features are consistent by using Graph-Based image segmentation. According to one idea presented in this paper
it is considered that "sub-regions with similar brightness and texture have similar color distributions"
a matching relationship is established between the target image and the sub-region of the reference image
and the sub-region is matched by using the luminance feature and the LBP local texture feature. Finally
the color matching is performed on the matching sub-regions using luminance and texture features in the YCbCr color space. The experimental results show that the reference image does not need to be registered with the target image in the algorithm
and only the features are similar
the automatic colorization technology can be realized for the target image and effectively overcome the phenomenon of color mistransmission. The colorized result image has a significant improvement in color distribution and subjective visuals.
