In this paper, the problem of assessing the perceived contrast of image elements for no-reference measurement of the global contrast of complex (multi-element) images is considered. A new method for assess the perceived contrast of elements of complex image is proposed on the basis of measuring of the contrast of these elements on a prenormalized image with subsequent correction of the contrast value taking into account the dynamic range of the primary (original) image. A new generalized description of the perceived contrast of the image elements for different definitions of the contrast kernel is suggested. New definitions of the weighted and relative contrast of the image elements are proposed. A comparative analysis of the proposed and known definitions of the weighted and relative contrast of image elements was carried out.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
