ABSTRACT:
An image processing system and method for processing an input image provides a virtual observer for automatically selecting, ordering and implementing a sequence of image processing operations which will yield maximum customer satisfaction as measured by a customer satisfaction index (CSI) which, for example, can balance the image quality and the processing time. The CSI evaluates an effect of the sequence of image processing operations on the input image in response to upstream device characteristic data received from an input device profile, downstream device characteristic data received from an output device profile, host configuration data, user selection data, trial parameter values and data corresponding to the sequence of image processing operations. In a preferred embodiment, the effect is evaluated in accordance with predetermined psychovisual attributes of the input image as attained and codified by human observers who have subjectively selected a most pleasing test image corresponding to objective metrics of the predetermined psychovisual attributes.
