Abstract :
An innovative solution for automatic color rendition of natural digital images is presented. It is based on an adaptive color correction, driven by a natural scene classifier designed over a wide database of natural digital images used as reference. The perceived quality of the processed images is globally closer to the expected color rendition for a great part of observers, without evident artifacts. A visual comparison with two wide diffused automatic and semi-automatic color enhancement tools is also presented.
