Disclosed are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media to enhance an image on a mobile computing device. In some aspects, a user interface on the mobile computing device provides a plurality of image filters, each of the image filters associated with a different replacement sky type. Upon application of one of the plurality of image filters to an image, the mobile computing device is configured to identify a sky portion of the image, modify a color mapping of a non-sky portion of the image, and replace the sky portion of the image with replacement sky data corresponding to the applied image filter.

An image processing method in a diagnosis assisting device that diagnoses lesions from a picked-up image, the method including A) performing an image correction on the picked-up image for diagnosis, and B) obtaining an input image to an identifier that identifies diseases based on the picked-up image having undergone the image correction. In A), when a brightness correction is performed as the image correction, a peripheral area other than a diagnosis area that has a high probability as diseases in the picked-up image is set to be a measuring area, a brightness histogram is created relative to the measuring area, a correction gain value is calculated based on a peak value of the created brightness histogram, and each of pixels in a color space is corrected by using the calculated correction gain value.

A system generates a prediction model for makeup color matching. The system includes a data storage device and a modeling engine. The data storage device stores a plurality of color sets comprising a skin color set, a makeup color set, and a target color set. The modeling engine is coupled to the data storage device and configured to generate a prediction model and an output color set. The prediction model models generation of the target color set based on inputs from the skin color set and the makeup color set. The output color set approximates the target color set with a predictable accuracy.

The invention provides an image color enhancement system, method, storage medium and endoscope. Since the human skin color and the basic tone of endoscopic image are similar, a data set of Macbeth color card is utilized to generate a color correction matrix for skin color enhancement. The color correction matrix is used by an endoscope for real time image capture, resulting in a vivid expression of the basic tone of an endoscopic image without introducing artifacts in other tonal image parts.

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: receive an image; and in response to inputting a magenta component resulting from CMYK conversion of the received image, output the image having undergone color conversion performed by using a profile in which at least one of the magenta component and a pink component that leads to fluorescent color forming is output, in which in an area having an input magenta amount lower than a predetermined threshold, the magenta component is not output and only the pink component is output, the input magenta amount serving as an amount of the magenta component resulting from the CMYK conversion, and in which in an area having the input magenta amount higher than or equal to the threshold, the magenta component and the pink component are output.

The present disclosure relates generally to data hiding for retail product packaging and other printed objects such as substrates. One embodiment embeds an information signal in a spot color for printing on various substrates. The spot color is screened, and overprinted with process color tint. The tint is modulated prior to overprinting with optimized signal tweaks. The optimization can include consideration of a detector spectral dependency (e.g., red and/or green illumination). Many other embodiments and combinations are described in the subject patent document.

A computer-controlled system determines attributes of a frexel, an area of human skin, and applies a modifying agent (RMA) at the pixel level, typically to make the skin appear more youthful and so more attractive. The system scans the frexel, identifies unattractive attributes, and applies the RMA, typically with an inkjet printer. The identified attributes relate to reflectance and may refer to features such as irregular-looking light and dark spots, age-spots, scars, and bruises. Identified attributes may also relate to the surface topology of the skin, for more precisely enhancing surface irregularities such as bumps and wrinkles. Feature mapping may be used, for example to make cheeks appear pinker and cheekbones more prominent. The RMA can be applied in agreement with identified patterns, such as adding red to a red frexel, or in opposition, such as adding green or blue to a red frexel, according to idealized models of attractiveness.
