A Mathematical Model for Logarithmic Image Processing (1412.5328v1)
Published 17 Dec 2014 in cs.CV
Abstract: In this paper, we propose a new mathematical model for image processing. It is a logarithmical one. We consider the bounded interval (-1, 1) as the set of gray levels. Firstly, we define two operations: addition <+> and real scalar multiplication <x>. With these operations, the set of gray levels becomes a real vector space. Then, defining the scalar product (.|.) and the norm || . ||, we obtain an Euclidean space of the gray levels. Secondly, we extend these operations and functions for color images. We finally show the effect of various simple operations on an image.
