    Abstract

    Color transfer has been a hot research issue in the field of image processing and computer vision in recent years. The main purpose is to transfer the color of a target image to source image so that the source image has the same or similar color features with the target image. In practical applications for the color transfer of binocular stereoscopic images, the user may only need to transfer the color of the selected object while keeping the background color unchanged. For this purpose, a color transfer method based on the selected object is proposed in this paper. In the method, by assigning the object of the image by user, the accurate object is segmented via graph cut, and the probability density curves of color distribution between the selected object and the target image are matched to accomplish the color transfer. In order to enhance the viewing experience provided for the user, a non-linear disparity optimization is performed after the color transfer operation. According to the histogram feature of disparity map, the disparity mapping function is calculated, and the target disparity is obtained to enhance the depth sensation of the selected object. The experimental results demonstrate that the combination of stereoscopic color transfer and disparity remapping effectively enhances the stereoscopic viewing experience.
