Problems solved by technology

When blending multiple images before tone correction between the multiple images, because the multiple images may be obtained under different conditions such as different exposure values, different gray scales, and different lens shades , so artifacts can appear at the seams connecting the multiple images, which can cause the user to perceive a difference

Embodiment Construction

[0038] Reference will now be made in detail to the embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout. The embodiments are described below in order to explain the present disclosure by referring to the figures.

[0039] Figure 1A and Figure 1B An example of a panoramic image according to the related art is shown.

[0040] Figure 1A shows a panoramic image obtained by matching two images without tone correction, Figure 1B A panoramic image obtained by estimating the optimal seam and matching the two images without tone correction is shown.

[0041] Even if two images obtained by photographing the same subject correspond to the same subject, overlapping regions of the two images have different exposure values ​​or different gradation levels for each image. So when blending each image without tone correction, as in Figure 1A and Figure 1B As shown, unnatural lines appear in the middle of t...

Abstract

An apparatus and method for image processing are provided. The image processing device can obtain ghost information from the overlapping area of ​​the left image and the right image based on the optimal threshold and the cost map reflecting the similarity between the left image and the right image, and can be generated based on using the ghost information in the overlapping area The global tone correction function of , and based on the local tone correction levels produced using the local information of the best seam, produces a tone correction map, and can be used by applying left image-based weights and right image-based weights to the tone correction map The final tone-corrected map produced by the image, correcting the left and right images.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2011-0055985 filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Jun. 10, 2011, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0002] Exemplary embodiments described below relate to an apparatus and method for correcting a tone of a panoramic image, and more particularly, to an apparatus and method for performing tone correction before mixing a plurality of images to generate a panoramic image. Background technique [0003] A panoramic image may be generated by mixing multiple images obtained by photographing a subject at multiple positions or from multiple angles. When blending multiple images before tone correction between the multiple images, because the multiple images may be obtained under different conditions such as different exposure values, different gray scales, and different lens shades , so artifacts may appear at the seams connecting the m...
