Abstract
An interactive support system for image quality enhancement to adjust display equipments according to the user's own subjectivity is developed. Interactive support system for image quality enhancement enable the parameters based on user's preference to be derived by only selecting user's preference images without adjusting image quality parameters directly. In the interactive support system for image quality enhancement, the more the number of parameters is, the more effective this system is. In this paper, lightness, color and sharpness are used as the image quality parameters and the images are enhanced by increasing the number of parameters. Shape of tone curve is controlled by two image quality adjustment parameters for lightness enhancement. Images are enhanced using two image quality adjustment parameters for color enhancement. The two parameters are controlled in L*a*b* color space. Degree and coarseness of image sharpness enhancement are adjusted by controlling a radius of mask of smoothing filter and weight of adding. To confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method, the image quality and derivation time of the proposed method are compared with a manual adjustment method.
