Attribute Operators for Color Images: Color Harmonization based on Maximal Harmonic Segmentation

Sérgio Sousa Filho, Franklin César Flores

Abstract

Attribute openings and thinnings are morphological connected operators that remove structures from images according to a given criterion. These operators were successfully extended from binary to grayscale images, but such extension to color images is not straightforward. Color attribute operators have been proposed by a combination of color gradients and thresholding decomposition. In this approach, not only structural criteria may be applied, but also criteria based on color features and statistics. This work proposes, in a segmentation framework, a criterion based on color histogram divergence from a harmonic model. This criterion permits a segmentation in maximal harmonic regions. An application indicated that the harmonic segmentation permitted a hue correction that would not cause false colors to appear in regions already harmonic.
