Abstract

A method for differentiating dynamic range of image is disclosed. The method comprises the following steps. First of all, pixel numbers with the same level value of Density units D n−1 and D n are compared. Next the minimum pixel numbers of each level value of Density units D n−1 and D n are counted. Then the minimum pixel numbers of each level value of Density units D n−1 and D n are summed. Next the ratio of total minimum pixel number and total pixel number R and a specification value R s are compared. Then whether R is smaller than R s or not is determined so as to recognize whether Density units D n−1 and D n could be differentiated or not.

Claims (13)

1. A method for differentiating dynamic range of image, said method comprising:

comparing pixel numbers with a same level value of density units D n−1 and D n ;

counting a minimum pixel number of each level value of density units D n−1 and D n ;

summing said minimum pixel number of each level value of density units D n−1 and D n ; and

comparing a ratio of total minimum pixel number and total pixel number R with a specification value R s .

2. The method according to claim 1 , when said ratio R is smaller than said specification value R s , said density units D n−1 and D n are determined as distinguishable.

3. The method according to claim 1 , when said ratio R is not smaller than said specification value R s , said density units D n−1 and D n are determined as undistinguishable.

4. A method for differentiating dynamic range of image, said method comprising:

providing pixel-level distributions of density units D n−1 and D n ;

counting a overlap area of said pixel-level distributions of said density units D n−1 and D n ; and

comparing said overlap area with a specification value.

5. The method according to claim 4 , when said overlap area is smaller than said specification value, said density units D n−1 and D n are determined as distinguishable.

6. The method according to claim 4 , when said overlap area is not smaller than said specification value, said density units D n−1 and D n are determined as undistinguishable.
