초록

A color restoration algorithm for dynamic images under multiple luminance conditions is proposed by using correction vectors, defined for sub regions that the original target is divided into and calculated from color information given in well-illuminated regions. These vectors restore chromatic information of the restored image obtained by the color restoration algorithm in a low luminance condition. Under the condition that the size of dynamic color images in multiple luminance conditions is $320\times240$, experimental results show that the restored image by the proposed algorithm decreases the color-difference about 30% than that of the restoration algorithm with color change vectors in a low luminance condition. The proposed algorithm aims to construct the surveillance system with a low cost CCD camera in the real world.
