ABSTRACT:
Improvements in a full resolution image A are effected with an economical use of computer processing equipment and time by determining a field of improvement functions derived from processing a coarse representation of the original full resolution image. The coarse representation B is subjected to lightness field analysis to obtain an improved coarse image C, from which a coarse improvement field D is extracted by subtracting the original coarse representation. To obtain a full resolution improvement field E, the coarse improvement function is smoothly expanded by interpolation to the dimensions of the full resolution image. By modifying the original full resolution image field A with the values of the full resolution improvement field E, an improved full resolution image is obtained.
