Illumination Change

dst = cv.illuminationChange(src, mask)
dst = cv.illuminationChange(src, mask, 'OptionName',optionValue, ...)

Input

• src Input 8-bit 3-channel image.
• mask Input 8-bit 1 or 3-channel image.

Output

• dst Output image with the same size and type as src.

Options

• Alpha Value ranges between 0-2. default 0.2
• Beta Value ranges between 0-2. default 0.4
• FlipChannels whether to flip the order of color channels in inputs src and mask and output dst, between MATLAB's RGB order and OpenCV's BGR (input: RGB->BGR, output: BGR->RGB). default false

Applying an appropriate non-linear transformation to the gradient field inside the selection and then integrating back with a Poisson solver, modifies locally the apparent illumination of an image.

This is useful to highlight under-exposed foreground objects or to reduce specular reflections.
