In this work, we describe a 9 new method to estimate contrast enhancement operations from a single image. Our method takes advantage 10 of the nature of contrast enhancement as a mapping between pixel values, and the distinct characteristics it 11 introduces to the image pixel histogram. Our method recovers the original pixel histogram and the contrast 12 enhancement simultaneously from a single image with an iterative algorithm. Unlike previous works, our 13 method is robust in the presence of additive noise perturbations that are used to hide the traces of contrast 14 enhancement. Furthermore, we also develop an effective method to detect image regions undergone contrast 15 enhancement transformations that are different from the rest of the image, and use this method todetect composite images. We perform extensive experimental evaluations to demonstrate the efficacy and efficiency 16 of our method. 17 18 CCS Concepts: • Mathematics of computing → Convex optimization; • Computing methodologies → 19 Scene anomaly detection; • Applied computing → Evidence collection, storage and analysis; 20 Additional Key Words and Phrases: Media Forensics, Contrast Enhancement, Pixel Histogram 21 22 ACM Reference Format: 23 Longyin Wen, Honggang Qi, and Siwei Lyu. 2017.

Accordingly, the research field of digital image forensics [11] has experienced rapid 31 developments in the past decade. Important cues to authenticate digital images and detect tamper- 32 ing can be found from various steps in the image capture and processing pipeline, and one of such 33 operations is contrast enhancement. Contrast enhancement is a nonlinear monotonic function of 34 pixel intensity, and it is frequently exploited to enhance image details of over-or under-exposed 35 regions. Commonly used contrast enhancement transforms include gamma correction, sigmoid 36 37 Authors’ addresses: Longyin Wen, GE Global Research Center, 1 Research Circle, Niskayuna, NY, 12309, USA; Honggang Qi, 38 University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, School of Computer and Control Engineering, No.3, ZhongGuanCun NanYiTiao, Beijing, 100049, China; Siwei Lyu, University at Albany, State University of New York, Computer Science Department, 1400 39 Washington Avenue, Albany, NY, 12222, USA, Tianjin Normal University, School of Computer and Information Engineering, 40 No.393, Binshui XiDao, Tianjin, China. 41 42 Permission to make digital or hard copies of all or part of this work for personal or classroom use is granted without fee 43 provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage and that copies bear this notice andthe 44 full citation on the first page.

In digital image forensics, recovering contrast enhance- 51 ment is useful to reconstruct the processing history of an image. Also, detecting regions undergone 52 different contrast enhancement can be used to expose a composite image. 53 There have been several methods to estimate contrast enhancement from an image [5, 6, 10, 16, 54 19, 20, 23]. However, these methods have two main limitations. First, most of these algorithms are 55 designed for a specific type of contrast enhancement transform (e.g., gamma correction). Second, 56 these algorithms in general lack robustness with regards to noise perturbations that are added to 57 hide the traces of contrast enhancement [1,7]. 58 In this work, we describe a general method to recover contrast enhancement from a single image. 59 Our method exploits the observations that: (i) although contrast enhancement is typically a nonlin- 60 ear function of pixel values, it is a linear transformation of pixel histogram; (ii) pixel histogram after 61 contrast enhancement tends to have more empty bins; and (iii) the effect of additive noise corre- 62 sponds to a convolution of pixel histogramwith the noise distribution. Accordingly, we formulate 63 the estimation of contrast enhancement as an optimization problem seeking recovered pixel his- 64 togram to be consistent with the observed pixel histogram after contrast enhancement transform 65 is applied, while with minimum number of empty bins. The original problem is intractable, so we 66 further provide a continuous relaxation and an efficient numerical algorithm to solve the relaxed 67 problem. Our formulation can handle the estimation of parametric and nonparametric contrast en- 68 hancement transforms, and is robust to additive noise perturbations. Furthermore, we also develop 69 an effective method to detect regions undergone contrast enhancement operation different from 70 the remaining of the image, and use this method to detect composite images generated by splicing. 71 A preliminary version of this work was published in [22]. The current work extends our pre- 72 vious method in several key aspects. First, this work uses a more stable property of contrast 73 enhancement on pixel histogram based on the number of empty bins, which leads to a new type 74 of regularizer in the optimization objective. Furthermore, we include a new optimization method 75 based on the Wasserstein distance and augmented the original algorithm to handle additive noises. 76 The optimization of the overall problem is solved with a more efficient projected gradient descent 77 method. 78 The rest of this paper is organized as follows. In Section2, we review relevant previous works. In 79 Section3, we elaborate on the relation of contrast enhancement and pixel histogram, and describe 80 our algorithm estimating parametric and nonparametric contrast enhancement transforms. In 81 section4, we present the experimental evaluations of the global contrast enhancement estimation 82 algorithm. Section5 focuses on a local contrast enhancement estimation algorithm based on the 83 global contrast enhancement estimation algorithm and graph cut minimization. Section6 concludes 84 the article with discussion and future works. 85 86 2 BACKGROUND AND RELATED WORKS 87 2.1 Contrast Enhancementas Linear Operator on Pixel Histogram 88 89 Our discussion is for gray-scale images of b bit-pixels. A (normalized) pixel histogram represents b 90 the fractions of pixels taking an individual value out of all 2 different grayscale values, and is b 91 usually interpreted as the probability distribution of a random variable X over f0; ··· ;n = 2 − 1g. 92 A contrast enhancement is a point-wise monotonic transform between pixel values i; j 2 93 f0; ··· ;ng, defined as i = ϕ¹jº := »m¹iº¼, where m¹·º : »0;n¼ 7! »0;n¼ is a continuous non-decreasing 94 function, and »·¼ is the rounding operation that maps a real number to its nearest integer. 95 There are two categories of contrast enhancement transforms. A parametric contrast enhance- 96 ment transform can be determined with a set of parameters. An example of parametric contrast 97 enhancement transform is gamma correction, 98 ACM Transactions on Multimedia Computing, Communications and Applications, Vol. 0, No. 0, Article 00. Publication date: 2017. Contrast Enhancement Estimation for Digital Image Forensics 00:3 γ 99 i j = ϕγ ¹iº := n ; (1) 100 n 101 where γ ≥ 0 is the parameter controlling the shape of the transform. Another often-used parametric 102 contrast enhancement transform is sigmoid stretching, − − 103 2 S i nµ − S nµ 3 104 6 © nα nα ª7 j = ϕα; µ ¹iº := 6n 7 ; (2) 6 ­ ¹ − º − ®7 105 6 ­S n 1 µ − S nµ ®7 6 nα nα 7 106 4 « ¬5 2 » ¼ ¹ º 1 107 where α > 0 and µ 0; 1 are two parameters, and S x = 1+exp(−xº is the sigmoid function. On 108 the other hand, a nonparametric contrast enhancement transform affords no simple parametric 109 form and has to be specified for all i 2 f0; ··· ;ng. An example of the nonparametric contrast 110 enhancement transform is histogram equalization, which maps the pixel histogram of an image to 111 match a uniform distribution over f0; ··· ;ng. ˜ ˜ 112 Consider two images I and I, with the pixels of I obtained from those of I using a contrast 113 enhancement transform ϕ. We introduce two random variables X;Y 2 f0; ··· ;ng as the pixels 114 of I and I˜, hence Y = ϕ¹Xº. Using the probability interpretation of pixel histogram, the contrast 115 enhancement transform between X and Y induces the conditional probability distribution Pr¹Y = 116 jjX = iº = 1j=ϕ¹iº, where 1c is the indicator function whose output is 1 if c is true and zero otherwise. As such, we have 117 Í Pr¹Y = jº = i 1j=ϕ¹iº Pr¹X = iº: (3) 118 We can model a pixel histogram as a vector on the n-dimensional probability simplex, i.e., h 2 119 n+1 T ∆ := fhjh ⪰ 0; 1 h = 1g with hi+1 = Pr¹X = iº for i = 0; ··· ;n, and a contrast enhancement ϕ 120 as an ¹n + 1º × ¹n + 1º matrix Tϕ : Tϕ = 1j=ϕ¹iº.

  • The Rehabilitation of Gamma
    The rehabilitation of gamma Charles Poynton poynton @ poynton.com www.poynton.com Abstract Gamma characterizes the reproduction of tone scale in an imaging system. Gamma summarizes, in a single numerical parameter, the nonlinear relationship between code value – in an 8-bit system, from 0 through 255 – and luminance. Nearly all image coding systems are nonlinear, and so involve values of gamma different from unity. Owing to poor understanding of tone scale reproduction, and to misconceptions about nonlinear coding, gamma has acquired a terrible reputation in computer graphics and image processing. In addition, the world-wide web suffers from poor reproduction of grayscale and color images, due to poor handling of nonlinear image coding. This paper aims to make gamma respectable again. Gamma’s bad reputation The left-hand column in this table summarizes the allegations that have led to gamma’s bad reputation. But the reputation is ill-founded – these allegations are false!

The color perception is created by the brain and the human eye together. For this reason, the subjective perception may vary. By effectively correcting the human sense of sight by means of effective methods, this effect can even be observed for the same person. Physical color sensations are created by electromagnetic waves of wavelengths between 380 and 780 nm. In our eyes, these waves stimulate receptors for three different Content color sensitivities. Their signals are processed in our brains to form a color sensation. 1. What is Color? ......................................................................... 1 2.

Swetha1, Dr.B.R.Vikram2, Mohd Muzaffar Hussain3 Assistant Professor1, Professor and Principal2, M.Tech Scholar3 Vijay Rural Engineering College, India Abstract: The hazy removal technique divided into three categories such additional information approaches, multiple image approaches, single- image approaches. The first two methods are expense one and high computational complexity. Recently single image approach is used for this de-hazing process because of its flexibility and low cost. The dark channel prior is to estimate scene depth in a single image and it is estimated through get at least one color channel with very low intensity value regard to the patches of an image. The transmission map will be estimated through atmospheric light estimation. The median filter and adaptive gamma correction are used for enhancing transmission to avoid halo effect problem. Then visibility restoration module utilizes average color difference values and enhanced transmission to restore an image with better quality.

The median filter and adaptive gamma correction are used for enhancing transmission to avoid halo effect problem. The project presents visibility restoration of single hazy images using color analysis and depth estimation with enhanced on bi- orthogonal wavelet transformation technique. Visibility of outdoor images is often degraded by turbid mediums in poor weather, such as haze, fog, sandstorms, and smoke. Optically, poor visibility in digital images is due to the substantial presence of different atmospheric particles that absorb and scatter light between the digital camera and the captured object.

Abdullah-Al-Wadud2, Golam Dastegir Al-Quaderi3 and Mohammad Shoyaib1 Abstract Due to the limitations of image-capturing devices or the presence of a non-ideal environment, the quality of digital images may get degraded. In spite of much advancement in imaging science, captured images do not always fulfill users’ expectations of clear and soothing views. Most of the existing methods mainly focus on either global or local enhancement that might not be suitable for all types of images. These methods do not consider the nature of the image, whereas different types of degraded images may demand different types of treatments. Hence, we classify images into several classes based on the statistical information of the respective images. Afterwards, an adaptive gamma correction (AGC) is proposed to appropriately enhance the contrast of the image where the parameters of AGC are set dynamically based on the image information. Extensive experiments along with qualitative and quantitative evaluations show that the performance of AGC is better than other state-of-the-art techniques.
