jitterColorHSV

Randomly alter color of pixels

Description

J = jitterColorHSV(I,Name=Value) adjusts the color of RGB image I with a randomly selected value of hue, saturation, brightness, and contrast from the HSV color space. Specify the range of each type of adjustment using name-value arguments.

example

Examples

Read and display an image.

I = imread("kobi.png");
imshow(I)

Figure contains an axes object. The hidden axes object contains an object of type image.

Randomly adjust the hue, saturation, brightness, and contrast of the image. To demonstrate the randomness of the adjustment, repeat the operation on the original image three times.

J1 = jitterColorHSV(I,Contrast=0.4,Hue=0.1,Saturation=0.2,Brightness=0.3);
J2 = jitterColorHSV(I,Contrast=0.4,Hue=0.1,Saturation=0.2,Brightness=0.3);
J3 = jitterColorHSV(I,Contrast=0.4,Hue=0.1,Saturation=0.2,Brightness=0.3);

Display the adjusted images in a montage.

Figure contains an axes object. The hidden axes object contains an object of type image.

Input Arguments

collapse all

RGB image with original pixel values, specified as an m-by-n-by-3 numeric array.

Data Types: single | double | uint8 | uint16

Name-Value Arguments

Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Example: J = jitterColorHSV(I,Hue=0.1) adds a random amount of hue from the uniform distribution [-0.1, 0.1].

Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose Name in quotes.

Example: J = jitterColorHSV(I,"Hue",0.1) adds a random amount of hue from the uniform distribution [-0.1, 0.1].

Hue offset, specified as one of the following values. jitterColorHSV converts input RGB image I to the HSV color space before adding a random value to the hue channel of the image. jitterColorHSV circularly wraps the modified hue to the range [0, 1] before converting the jittered HSV image back to the RGB color space.

ValueMeaning
Numeric scalar in the range [0, 1]Add random amount of hue from the uniform distribution [-Hue Hue]
2-element numeric vector with elements in the range [-1, 1]Add a random amount of hue from a continuous uniform distribution within the specified interval. The second element must be larger than or equal to the first element.

Data Types: single | double

Saturation offset, specified as one of the following values. jitterColorHSV converts input RGB image I to the HSV color space before adding a random value to the saturation channel of the image. jitterColorHSV clips the modified saturation to the range [0, 1] before converting the jittered HSV image back to the RGB color space.

ValueMeaning
Numeric scalar in the range [0, 1]Add random amount of saturation from the uniform distribution [-Saturation Saturation]
2-element numeric vector with elements in the range [-1, 1]Add a random amount of saturation from a continuous uniform distribution within the specified interval. The second element must be larger than or equal to the first element.

Data Types: single | double

Brightness offset, specified as one of the following values. jitterColorHSV converts input RGB image I to the HSV color space before adding a random value to the brightness (value) channel of the image. jitterColorHSV clips the modified brightness to the range [0, 1] before converting the jittered HSV image back to the RGB color space.

ValueMeaning
Numeric scalar in the range [0, 1]Add random amount of brightness from the uniform distribution [-Brightness Brightness]
2-element numeric vector with elements in the range [-1, 1]Add a random amount of brightness from a continuous uniform distribution within the specified interval. The second element must be larger than or equal to the first element.

Data Types: single | double

Contrast scale factor, specified as one of the following values. jitterColorHSV converts input RGB image I to the HSV color space before scaling the brightness (value) channel of the image by a random factor. jitterColorHSV clips the modified brightness to the range [0, 1] before converting the jittered HSV image back to the RGB color space.

ValueMeaning
Positive numberScale the brightness by a random factor from the uniform distribution [1-Contrast 1+Contrast]
2-element numeric vector of positive numbersScale the brightness by a random factor from the uniform distribution within the specified interval. The second element must be larger than or equal to the first element.

Data Types: single | double

Output Arguments

collapse all

Jittered RGB image, returned as a numeric array of the same size and data type as the input image, I.

Data Types: single | double | uint8 | uint16

HSV Color Space

The HSV color space defines the hue, saturation, and value (brightness) for each pixel, respectively, as described in the table.

AttributeDescription
HueValue from 0 to 1 that corresponds to the color’s position on a color wheel. As hue increases from 0 to 1, the color transitions from red to orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, magenta, and finally back to red.
SaturationAmount of hue or departure from neutral. 0 indicates a grayscale image and 1 indicates maximum saturation.
Value

Maximum value among the red, green, and blue components of a specific color.
