Abstract

The embodiments of the present application provide an image processing method, an image processing apparatus and an electronic device. The image processing apparatus includes: a shoot scene determination portion configured to determine a shoot scene of an image; an image analysis portion configured to analyze the image to determine a degree of influence of the shoot scene on the shoot quality of the image; and an image processing portion configured to perform a correction processing of the image according to the degree of influence. Through the embodiments of the present application, a correction processing of the image can be performed according to the degree of influence of the shoot scene on the shoot quality of the image, so as to reduce and even eliminate the degree of influence, thus improving the shoot quality of the image.

Claims (40)

1 . An image processing apparatus, comprising:

a shoot scene determination portion configured to determine a shoot scene of an image;

an image analysis portion configured to analyze the image to determine a degree of influence of the shoot scene on the shoot quality of the image; and

an image processing portion configured to perform a correction processing of the image according to the degree of influence.

2 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the shoot scene determination portion comprises:

a first parameter extraction portion configured to extract a first parameter reflecting features of the image;

a first comparison portion configured to compare the first parameter with a preset first threshold; and

a first judgment portion configured to judge a shoot scene of the image according to a comparison result of the first comparison portion.

3 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the first parameter comprises any or a combination of a parameter reflecting color histogram features or grayscale distribution histogram features of the image, a brightness of the image, a sharpness of the image, a saturation of the image, or a contrast of the image.

4 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the image analysis portion comprises:

a second parameter extraction portion configured to extract a second parameter reflecting features of the image; and

an influence degree determination portion configured to determine the degree of influence of the shoot scene on the shoot quality of the image according to the second parameter.

5 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the second parameter comprises any or a combination of a parameter reflecting color histogram features or grayscale distribution histogram features of the image, a brightness of the image, a sharpness of the image, a saturation of the image, or a contrast of the image.

6 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the image processing portion comprises:

a processing parameter setting portion configured to set a processing parameter required to perform a correction processing of the image according to the degree of influence; and

a processing execution portion configured to perform the correction processing of the image according to the processing parameter set by the processing parameter setting portion.

7 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the correction processing of the image performed by the processing execution portion at least comprises a gamma correction and/or a histogram adjustment.

8 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the shoot scene comprises an underwater shoot scene, a smoky shoot scene, an overcast and rainy shoot scene, a haze shoot scene, a sand storm shoot scene or a dim shoot scene.

9 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the shoot scene determination portion determines the shoot scene of the image by detecting the image or through a sensor detection.

10 . An electronic device, comprising an image processing apparatus according to claim 1 .

11 . An image processing method, comprising:

determining a shoot scene of an image;

analyzing the image to determine a degree of influence of the shoot scene on the shoot quality of the image; and

performing a correction processing of the image according to the degree of influence.

12 . The image processing method according to claim 11 , wherein determining a shoot scene of an image comprises:

extracting a first parameter reflecting features of the image;

comparing the first parameter with a preset first threshold; and

judging the shoot scene of the image according to a comparison result.

13 . The image processing method according to claim 12 , wherein the first parameter comprises any or a combination of a parameter reflecting color histogram features or grayscale distribution histogram features of the image, a brightness of the image, a sharpness of the image, a saturation of the image, or a contrast of the image.

14 . The image processing method according to claim 11 , wherein analyzing the image to determine a degree of influence of the shoot scene on the shoot quality of the image comprises:

extracting a second parameter reflecting features of the image; and

determining the degree of influence of the shoot scene on the shoot quality of the image according to the second parameter.

15 . The image processing method according to claim 14 , wherein the second parameter comprises any or a combination of a parameter reflecting color histogram features of the image, a brightness of the image, a sharpness of the image, a saturation of the image, or a contrast of the image.

16 . The image processing method according to claim 11 , wherein performing a correction processing of the image according to the degree of influence comprises:

setting a processing parameter required to perform a correction processing of the image according to the degree of influence; and

performing the correction processing of the image according to the processing parameter.

17 . The image processing method according to claim 11 , wherein the performed correction processing of the image at least comprises a gamma correction and/or a histogram adjustment.

18 . The image processing method according to claim 17 , wherein the performed correction processing of the image further comprises any or a combination of an edge enhancement processing, a noise reduction processing or a dark area enhancement processing.

19 . The image processing method according to claim 11 , wherein the shoot scene comprises an underwater shoot scene, a smoky shoot scene, an overcast and rainy shoot scene, a haze shoot scene, a sand storm shoot scene or a dim shoot scene.

20 . The image processing method according to claim 11 , wherein the shoot scene of the image is determined by detecting the image or through a sensor detection.
