In our last meeting, Dr. Fuentes showed me the method of histogram matching for the 7pt Fiber Scale project. I may elaborate regarding its application in the project, but for now, I want to talk about an idea I had. Dr. Fuentes and Bibek are devising a method that would take a high res grayscale image and a low res color image and produce a high res color image (images below).
My idea was to match the grayscale image histogram to the color image histogram channel by channel. So I wrote this:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
directory = 'Research/data/histogramMatching/'
bw_hr = plt.imread(directory+'bw_hr.jpg')
color_lr = plt.imread(directory+'color_lr.jpg')
import numpy as np
from skimage.exposure import match_histograms
histIm = np.zeros(bw_hr.shape)
histIm[:,:,0] = match_histograms(bw_hr[:,:,0], color_lr[:,:,0])
histIm[:,:,1] = match_histograms(bw_hr[:,:,1], color_lr[:,:,1])
histIm[:,:,2] = match_histograms(bw_hr[:,:,2], color_lr[:,:,2])
plt.imshow(histIm)
Welp! It didn't work 🤷🏽♂️ see you next time.
