Fast local color transfer via dominant colors mapping

Abstract

Color transfer is an image editing technique which arises various applications, from daily photo appearance enhancement to movie post-processing. An ideal color transfer algorithm should keep the scene from the source image and apply the color style of the target image. All the dominant colors in the target image should be transferred to the source, while the colors in the source image which are apparently distinct from the target style should not appear in the result. The preservation of the scene details is also important for a good color transfer algorithm.
