Abstract

Techniques are disclosed relating to generating generic labels, translating generic labels to image pipeline-specific labels, and automatically adjusting images. In one embodiment, generic labels may be generated. Generic algorithm parameters may be generated based on training a regression algorithm with the generic labels. The generic labels may be translated to pipeline-specific labels, which may be usable to automatically adjust an image.

generating a plurality of generic labels by a computing device for a plurality of image pairs in which:

each of the image pairs includes a first image and a corresponding adjusted image that is an adjusted version of the first image; and

6. A method of claim 1 , wherein the image processing pipeline is further configured to automatically adjust the new image based on the pipeline-specific labels and the generic algorithm parameters.

7. A method of claim 1 , wherein the generic labels represent a global tonal adjustment.

8. A computing device comprising one or more modules implemented at least in partly by hardware and configured to perform operations comprising:

generating a plurality of generic labels for a plurality of image pairs in which:

each of the image pairs includes a first image and a corresponding adjusted image that is an adjusted version of the first image; and
