Abstract
An image processing system and method corrects the perceptual quality of an image by adjusting the image colors. 'Color' in this sense is to be understood as encompassing three-dimensional parameterizations of color, incorporating both intensity and hue. These measurements are made using creative computations developed and adapted from the RETINEX™ theory (Land, 1977), where the RETINEX implementation adjusts any pixel in any direction in color space and further to automatically determine the best direction for it to be adjusted to increase the perceptual visibility of the algorithm with a minimal amount of change to the original image values.
