CorrectGamma

Header:	AVL.h
Namespace:	avl

Performs gamma correction.

Applications: Image enhancement for human perception. For computer vision consider LogarithmImage.

Syntax

void avl::CorrectGamma
(
	const avl::Image& inImage,
	atl::Optional<const avl::Region&> inRoi,
	float inValue,
	avl::Image& outImage
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Range	Default	Description
inImage	const Image&			Input image
inRoi	Optional<const Region&>		NIL	Range of pixels to be processed
inValue	float	0.01 - 8.0	2.0f	Gamma coefficient, where 1.0 is neutral
outImage	Image&			Output image

Requirements

For input inImage only pixel formats are supported: int8, uint8, int16, uint16, int32.

Read more about pixel formats in Image documentation.

In-place Processing

This function supports in-place data processing - you can pass the same reference to inImage and outImage

Description

The gamma correction is a standard nonlinear transformation of pixel brightness that was developed as a tool for the compensation of CRT display input-output characteristic. The operation scales brightness of each inImage pixel to the 0.0 - 1.0 range, exponentiates it to the power of inValue, and then scales the result back to the pixel values range.
