Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An apparatus and method for enhancing photorealism of a computer graphic (CG) image. Since color distribution maps of the CG image and a realistic image are extractable, a color distribution map of an input CG image may be adjusted, thereby enhancing photorealism of the CG image.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of enhancing a computer graphic (CG) image, the method comprising: receiving, by a processor, an input of the CG image; obtaining a color distribution map of the input CG image; and adjusting the color distribution map of the input CG image by rotating a reference axis related to an average vector according to an average hue and the average vector of the input CG image such that a point including the average hue and the average vector is within…
