Introduction
|
|
++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
Class which provides the main controls to the Gipsa/Listic labs human retina model. This is a non separable spatio-temporal filter modelling the two main retina information channels :
|
|
|
|
* foveal vision for detailled color vision : the parvocellular pathway.
|
|
|
|
* peripheral vision for sensitive transient signals detection (motion and events) : the magnocellular pathway.
|
|
|
|
From a general point of view, this filter whitens the image spectrum and corrects luminance thanks to local adaptation. An other important property is its hability to filter out spatio-temporal noise while enhancing details.
|
|
This model originates from Jeanny Herault work [Herault2010]_. It has been involved in Alexandre Benoit phd and his current research [Benoit2010]_ (he currently maintains this module within OpenCV). It includes the work of other Jeanny's phd student such as [Chaix2007]_ and the log polar transformations of Barthelemy Durette described in Jeanny's book.
|
|
|
|
**NOTES :**
|
|
|
|
* For ease of use in computer vision applications, the two retina channels are applied homogeneously on all the input images. This does not follow the real retina topology but this can still be done using the log sampling capabilities proposed within the class.
|
|
|
|
* Extend the retina description and code use in the tutorial/contrib section for complementary explanations.
|
|
|
|
Preliminary illustration
|
|
++++++++++++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
As a preliminary presentation, let's start with a visual example. We propose to apply the filter on a low quality color jpeg image with backlight problems. Here is the considered input... *"Well, my eyes were able to see more that this strange black shadow..."*
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/retinaInput.jpg
|
|
:alt: a low quality color jpeg image with backlight problems.
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
Below, the retina foveal model applied on the entire image with default parameters. Here contours are enforced, halo effects are voluntary visible with this configuration. See parameters discussion below and increase horizontalCellsGain near 1 to remove them.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/retinaOutput_default.jpg
|
|
:alt: the retina foveal model applied on the entire image with default parameters. Here contours are enforced, luminance is corrected and halo effects are voluntary visible with this configuration, increase horizontalCellsGain near 1 to remove them.
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
Below, a second retina foveal model output applied on the entire image with a parameters setup focused on naturalness perception. *"Hey, i now recognize my cat, looking at the mountains at the end of the day !"*. Here contours are enforced, luminance is corrected but halos are avoided with this configuration. The backlight effect is corrected and highlight details are still preserved. Then, even on a low quality jpeg image, if some luminance information remains, the retina is able to reconstruct a proper visual signal. Such configuration is also usefull for High Dynamic Range (*HDR*) images compression to 8bit images as discussed in [benoit2010]_ and in the demonstration codes discussed below.
|
|
As shown at the end of the page, parameters change from defaults are :
|
|
|
|
* horizontalCellsGain=0.3
|
|
|
|
* photoreceptorsLocalAdaptationSensitivity=ganglioncellsSensitivity=0.89.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/retinaOutput_realistic.jpg
|
|
:alt: the retina foveal model applied on the entire image with 'naturalness' parameters. Here contours are enforced but are avoided with this configuration, horizontalCellsGain is 0.3 and photoreceptorsLocalAdaptationSensitivity=ganglioncellsSensitivity=0.89.
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
As observed in this preliminary demo, the retina can be settled up with various parameters, by default, as shown on the figure above, the retina strongly reduces mean luminance energy and enforces all details of the visual scene. Luminance energy and halo effects can be modulated (exagerated to cancelled as shown on the two examples). In order to use your own parameters, you can use at least one time the *write(String fs)* method which will write a proper XML file with all default parameters. Then, tweak it on your own and reload them at any time using method *setup(String fs)*. These methods update a *Retina::RetinaParameters* member structure that is described hereafter. XML parameters file samples are shown at the end of the page.

Description
|
|
+++++++++++
|
|
|
|
Class which allows the `Gipsa <http://www.gipsa-lab.inpg.fr>`_ (preliminary work) / `Listic <http://www.listic.univ-savoie.fr>`_ (code maintainer and user) labs retina model to be used. This class allows human retina spatio-temporal image processing to be applied on still images, images sequences and video sequences. Briefly, here are the main human retina model properties:
|
|
|
|
* spectral whithening (mid-frequency details enhancement)
|
|
|
|
* high frequency spatio-temporal noise reduction (temporal noise and high frequency spatial noise are minimized)
|
|
|
|
* low frequency luminance reduction (luminance range compression) : high luminance regions do not hide details in darker regions anymore
|
|
|
|
* local logarithmic luminance compression allows details to be enhanced even in low light conditions
|
|
|
|
Use : this model can be used basically for spatio-temporal video effects but also in the aim of :
|
|
|
|
* performing texture analysis with enhanced signal to noise ratio and enhanced details robust against input images luminance ranges (check out the parvocellular retina channel output, by using the provided **getParvo** methods)
|
|
|
|
* performing motion analysis also taking benefit of the previously cited properties (check out the magnocellular retina channel output, by using the provided **getMagno** methods)

Demos and experiments !
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
**NOTE : Complementary to the following examples, have a look at the Retina tutorial in the tutorial/contrib section for complementary explanations.**
|
|
|
|
Take a look at the provided C++ examples provided with OpenCV :
|
|
|
|
* **samples/cpp/retinademo.cpp** shows how to use the retina module for details enhancement (Parvo channel output) and transient maps observation (Magno channel output). You can play with images, video sequences and webcam video.
|
|
Typical uses are (provided your OpenCV installation is situated in folder *OpenCVReleaseFolder*)
|
|
|
|
* image processing : **OpenCVReleaseFolder/bin/retinademo -image myPicture.jpg**
|
|
|
|
* video processing : **OpenCVReleaseFolder/bin/retinademo -video myMovie.avi**
|
|
|
|
* webcam processing: **OpenCVReleaseFolder/bin/retinademo -video**
|
|
|
|
**Note :** This demo generates the file *RetinaDefaultParameters.xml* which contains the default parameters of the retina. Then, rename this as *RetinaSpecificParameters.xml*, adjust the parameters the way you want and reload the program to check the effect.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* **samples/cpp/OpenEXRimages_HighDynamicRange_Retina_toneMapping.cpp** shows how to use the retina to perform High Dynamic Range (HDR) luminance compression
|
|
|
|
Then, take a HDR image using bracketing with your camera and generate an OpenEXR image and then process it using the demo.
|
|
|
|
Typical use, supposing that you have the OpenEXR image *memorial.exr* (present in the samples/cpp/ folder)
|
|
|
|
**OpenCVReleaseFolder/bin/OpenEXRimages_HighDynamicRange_Retina_toneMapping memorial.exr**
|
|
|
|
Note that some sliders are made available to allow you to play with luminance compression.
