PHP gdlib or imagemagick lighting normalization between 2 images

165 views Asked by At

Is there any simple way (tool, script) to, having 2 images of exactly same scene in different lighting conditions, normalize them so they would appear like they would be made in same conditions?

I have read about some histograms and how this normalization should work, but can't really find any real (non theoretical) solution.

Is there a simple way ... (non theoretical) solution?

There's plenty of implementations out there, but the really good ones are patented, and under lock-n-key by companies like Fuji, Nikon, Polaroid, & etc.

Your going to have to do the math, and/or mimic other opensource works.

PHP's Imagick offers methods like Imagick::contrastStretchImage, and Imagick::linearStretchImage to align, trim, and shift histograms. If you really are attempting to adjust the lumanuis, Imagick::colorMatrixImage can be used to rebuild/alter an image's color-balance. Take a look at Fred's whitebalance script for example.
