Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method and apparatus for processing an image that performs an online brightness change is disclosed, the method including dividing a luminance channel in a reference image and a target image based on a size of a chroma channel, enhancing an image quality of the target image in which the luminance channel is divided, using the reference image in which the luminance channel is divided, enhancing the image quality of an image of the luminance channel divided in the target image, using the enhanced target image of which, and combining the luminance channel of the enhanced target image and the luminance channel of which the image quality is enhanced.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for processing an image, the method comprising: dividing a luminance channel in a reference image and a luminance channel in a target image based on a size of a chroma channel using at least one processor; enhancing an image quality of the target image in which the luminance channel is divided, using the reference image in which the luminance channel is divided; enhancing an image quality of an image of the luminance channel divided in the targe…
