This book covers image and video color editing research advances over the last two decades. Bringing readers up to speed on digital image and video editing techniques and research, the book delves into an area that has attracted much attention from researchers due to the rapid development of computer graphics and the widespread prevalence of digital cameras and mobile phones in daily life. Readers will get a comprehensive overview of the theory and application of color transfer, emotional color transfer, colorization, decolorization, and style transfer in altering still and moving digital images. Despite the existence of professional image editing software that can complete complex image editing work, the skills required to achieve satisfactory editing results can be prohibitive, and even professional image editors need to spend a lot of time developing and maintaining aptitude in a niche tool. Instead, the book explores image and video editing techniques that are simple and effective alternatives to such editing software that professional and amateur image editors can utilize. The book focuses on color as one of the most important features of an image or video. Image and video color editing aims to dramatically alter source images suitable for a wide range of applications.

Explores visual computing techniques for transforming color and style in images and video
Overviews a range of color editing techniques and tools for images and video
Describes the theory and utility of digital editing of images and video
