Zusammenfassung:This paper represents a twofold approach. On the one hand, we introduce a simple method that encompasses an ensemble of image processing algorithms with a multilevel color transfer approach at its core. On the other hand, the method is applied for providing an artistic look to standard images. The approach proposes a multilevel color transfer in a chromatic channel of the CIELAB color space. Once converted from red, green and blue, a specific channel on both images, input and target (reference), is thresholded in a number of levels. Later, the color transfer is performed between regions from corresponding levels using a classical color transfer method. In the application phase, the color palette of a recognized artwork of the Fauve movement is mapped to the input image, emulating the sight of the artist, characterized by the use of vivid colors. Filtering techniques are applied to the outcome, in order to emulate the basic brushstrokes of the artist. Experimental results are shown, visualizing and comparing the input images with the outcomes.
