What impacts skin color in digital photos?

Albrecht Johannes Lindner, Stefan Winkler

Skin colors are important for a broad range of imaging applications to assure quality and naturalness. We discuss the impact of various metadata on skin colors in images, i.e. how does the presence of a metadata attribute influence the expected skin color ...

Recovering Badly Exposed Objects From Digital Photos Using Internet Images

Sabine Süsstrunk, Stefan Winkler

In this paper we consider the problem of clipped-pixel recovery over an entire badly exposed image region, using two correctly exposed images of the scene that may be captured under different conditions. The first reference image is used to recover texture ...

Mirror Match: Reliable Feature Point Matching Without Geometric Constraints

Sabine Süsstrunk, Stefan Winkler

Many algorithms have been proposed to solve the problem of matching feature points in two or more images using geometric assumptions to increase the robustness of the matching. However, these assumptions do not always hold; in particular, few methods addre ...

Color image quality on the Internet

Sabine Süsstrunk, Stefan Winkler

Color image quality depends on many factors, such as the initial capture system and its color image processing, compression, transmission, the output device, media and associated viewing conditions. In this paper, we are primarily concerned with color imag ...

Visibility of noise in natural images

Sabine Süsstrunk, Stefan Winkler

The degree of visibility of any kind of stimulus is largely determined by the background on which it is shown, a property commonly known as masking. Many psychophysical experiments have been carried out to date to understand masking of sinusoids or Gabor t ...

Video quality evaluation for mobile applications

Frédéric Dufaux, Stefan Winkler

This paper presents the results of our quality evaluations of video sequences encoded for and transmitted over a wireless channel. We selected content, codecs, bitrates and bit error patterns representative of mobile applications and we concentrated on the ...

A No-Reference Perceptual Blur Metric

Touradj Ebrahimi, Pina Marziliano, Frédéric Dufaux, Stefan Winkler

In this paper, we present a no-reference blur metric for images and video. The blur metric is based on the analysis of the spread of the edges in an image. Its perceptual significance is validated through subjective experiments. The novel metric is near re ...
