The image contrast is a feature capturing the variation of the image signal across the space. Such a feature is very useful to describe the local image structure at different scales and thus it is relevant to many computer vision applications, like image/texture retrieval and object recognition. In this work, we present MiRCo, a novel measure of image contrast derived from the Retinex theory. MiRCo is robust against in-plane rotations and light changes at multiple scales. Thanks to these properties, MiRCo enables an accurate and robust description of the local image structure. Here we describe and discuss the mathematical insights of MiRCo also in comparison with other popular contrast measures.

Abstract
The image contrast is a feature capturing the variation of the image signal across the space. Such a feature is very useful to describe the local image structure at different scales and thus it is relevant to many computer vision applications, like image/texture retrieval and object recognition. In this work, we present MiRCo, a novel measure of image contrast derived from the Retinex theory. MiRCo is robust against in-plane rotations and light changes at multiple scales. Thanks to these properties, MiRCo enables an accurate and robust description of the local image structure. Here we describe and discuss the mathematical insights of MiRCo also in comparison with other popular contrast measures.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
