Contrast adjustment enhances or modifies the difference in intensity between various parts of an image. It is crucial for making images visually appealing, as it determines the range of tones from light to dark. Adjusting contrast can enhance the visibility of objects or features within an image, making them more distinguishable from the background or surrounding elements.
Brightness control in image processing refers to the adjustment of the overall lightness or darkness of an image. It's a fundamental operation in image enhancement and manipulation.
Saturation control in image processing refers to the adjustment of the intensity of colors within an image. It allows you to increase or decrease the vividness of colors, thereby influencing the overall appearance and impact of the image.
Gamma correction is the process of adding the nonlinear response to the image signal to match the gamma properties of displays. Gamma correction is much needed when the sensor gamma curve and the display gamma curve is not matching. This process ensures the good viewing experience of the humans and improves the image quality.
The aim of color space conversion is to ensure accurate color representation across different devices and media, such as monitors, printers, cameras, and scanners. It is necessary for maintaining color consistency when different devices use different color spaces.
Black level correction suppresses noise in the image signals under no-light condition by subtracting the user defined values in all the color channels. This process helps improve overall image contrast and clarity by setting the correct baseline brightness level for the black areas, thus preserving details that might otherwise be lost in shadows.
Debayering block uses dual 5x5 interpolation method to derive/extrapolate the full color information (RGB color channels) of every pixel, without losing the context of the image and introducing edge noise and color bleeding. It ensures minimal zipper effects on edges and transitions while reducing color bleeding.
Auto white balance block aims to tune the white balance on the images continuously to achieve the true colors. This process ensures fast and smooth color transitions between different temperatures.
Supports standard color temperature.
Color correction reduces color artifacts and produces true colors in the image pipeline. This process reduces the cross-color effects (shades of a color in other colors) introduced by the sensor and debayering block.
