Digital Image Processing

Matte cleanup is the process of removing unwanted artifacts and imperfections from an alpha matte, such as stray pixels or color fringing, to ensure a clean and seamless composite.

Object isolation is the process of using an alpha matte to isolate a specific object or region in an image, allowing for its manipulation or removal from the background.

Drop shadow is a technique used to create a realistic shadow for a composited object using alpha matting, simulating the natural shadow cast by the object in the scene.

Layer compositing is the process of combining multiple alpha mattes to create a composite image with multiple layers, allowing for the creation of complex and visually appealing compositions.

Wavelet Coding is a powerful source coding technique specifically designed for compressing images and videos. It utilizes wavelet transforms to decompose the data into different frequency bands, enabling efficient compression by exploiting the spatial and spectral characteristics of the data.

Exposure refers to the amount of light that reaches the camera's sensor. Adjusting the exposure allows you to control the brightness and contrast of an image.

Neutral density filters, polarizing filters, and graduated neutral density filters are all types of color filters that are used in photography to achieve specific effects.

White balance is the process of adjusting the color temperature of an image to match a specific light source. This ensures that white objects appear white in the image.

Hue/Saturation, Levels, and Curves are all types of color correction tools that are used in image editing software to adjust the colors in an image.

Desaturation is not a common color correction technique used in architecture photography. Instead, techniques such as white balance adjustment, exposure compensation, and color grading are more commonly used to enhance the colors in architectural images.

Adjusting vanishing points is not a common perspective correction technique used in architecture photography. Instead, techniques such as lens correction, keystone correction, and straightening horizon lines are more commonly used to correct perspective distortions in architectural images.

Median filter is not a common sharpening technique used in architecture photography. Instead, techniques such as unsharp mask, high pass filter, and Gaussian blur are more commonly used to enhance the sharpness of architectural images.

Applying a high pass filter is not a common technique for adding texture to architectural images. Instead, techniques such as overlaying textures, using a grunge brush, and adding noise are more commonly used to create a textured effect in architectural images.

Applying a high pass filter is not a common technique for converting color images to black and white in architecture photography. Instead, techniques such as using a black and white conversion filter, desaturating the image, and using a channel mixer are more commonly used to achieve a black and white effect.

Histogram Equalization is not a specific tone mapping algorithm used in HDR photography. It is a technique for adjusting the distribution of pixel values in an image to improve contrast.
