Description

The Gamma Correction block applies or removes gamma correction to or from an image or video stream.

Ports

Input

expand all

Input image, specified as an M-by-N matrix or an M-by-N-by-C array, where C is the number of color channels in the input image.

Dependencies

To enable this port, set the Operation parameter to Gamma.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | uint8 | uint16 | Boolean | fixed point

Gamma-corrected input image, specified as an M-by-N matrix or an M-by-N-by-C array, where C is the number of color channels in the input image.

Dependencies

To enable this port, set the Operation parameter to De-gamma.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | uint8 | uint16 | Boolean | fixed point

Output

expand all

Gamma-corrected output image, returned as an M-by-N matrix or an M-by-N-by-C array, where C is the number of color channels.

Dependencies

To enable this port, set the Operation parameter to Gamma.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | uint8 | uint16 | Boolean | fixed point

Gamma-removed output image, returned as an M-by-N matrix or an M-by-N-by-C array, where C is the number of color channels.

Dependencies

To enable this port, set the Operation parameter to De-gamma.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | uint8 | uint16 | Boolean | fixed point

Parameters

expand all

Specify the gamma operation the block performs.

  • Gamma — Apply gamma correction to the input image.

  • De-gamma — Remove gamma correction from the input image.

Specify the gamma as a value greater than or equal to 1. A value less than 1 encodes luminance values in image and a value greater than 1 decodes luminance values in image, represented as gamma compression and gamma expansion respectively.

Select this parameter to define the gamma curve as a linear segment near the origin. For more information, see Gamma Correction Method.

Specify a scalar break point value, which indicates the I-axis value at the end of the gamma curve linear segment. For more information, see Gamma Correction Method.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter, select the Linear segment parameter.
