Filters reverse engineering

[debug]

Hello,

I'm looking for somebody who will help me to do the reverse engineering for the filters applied to the following images:
















Thanks.

The main effects are crop and resize, obviously.

Other effects are more subtle, and are masked by jpeg compression. There may be unsharpening. The building may have tonal expansion. The clapping woman has colour shift, or perhaps just increased saturation. The final image has some smoothing.

Yes crop/resize are main effects, but more interesting for me are the colors, contrast, levels correction and some blur / smoothing / unsharpening. All of these images were processed by same script (that I believe based on histogram analysis and correction).


P.S I'm ready to pay 500 usd by paypal to everyone who will help me to create the full automatic script with same results.

Do you have access to the source code for the script? What platform and what version of IM are you using?

I tried this on the first image and it looks close. You can adjust the -contrast-stretch arguments if you want and the unsharp masking.

Code: Select all

convert 1_orig.jpg -contrast-stretch 0.1% -resize 240x180 -unsharp 0x1 1_proc.jpg

Unfortunately, I don't have it, i can only see the results of this script.
If I had a source code, my question wouldn't be posted here

Version: ImageMagick 6.7.0-10 2011-07-31 Q16, Linux or FreeBSD

Version: ImageMagick 6.7.0-10 2011-07-31 Q16

What platform? Linux/Mac/Windows? If on windows, you may need to use %% rather than %

Test my command and see if that is close?

I've tried it now, it works, but not for all.

Example

My result


Original result

try this and adjust the contrast-stretch a bit more when needed

Code: Select all

convert 1_orig.jpg -auto-level -auto-gamma -contrast-stretch 0.1% -resize 240x180 -unsharp 0x1 1_proc3.jpg

or

Code: Select all

convert 1_orig.jpg -equalize -auto-level -auto-gamma -resize 240x180 -unsharp 0x1 1_proc4.jpg

or this with no contrast stretch

Code: Select all

convert 1_orig.jpg -auto-level -auto-gamma -resize 240x180 -unsharp 0x1 1_proc5.jpg

Thank you for your answers.

1. The main problem is to understand when more contrast-stretch is needed automatically for bulk processing.
2. I have tried all of the codes from your previous message, the original result is better.
3. In addition, I see on the original result some blur /smoothing filter applied. You can see it if you pay attention to the skin of the lady or the trees on the 1_res.jpg.

For the smoothing, I think this is close, for all the images. Windows script. The two commands could be combined into one. If further experiments show that the two blur amounts 0x2 are correct, it would need doing only once.

Code: Select all

convert ^
  %1_orig.jpg ^
  ( +clone -blur 0x2 ) ^
  -compose Difference -composite ^
  -grayscale RMS ^
  -auto-level ^
  -auto-gamma ^
  -blur 0x20 ^
  -contrast-stretch 25x25%% ^
  -negate ^
  mask.png

convert ^
  %1_orig.jpg ^
  ( +clone -blur 0x2 ) ^
  mask.png ^
  -composite ^
  %1_masked.png

I get the following error on Windows

You are using v6.7.0, a very old version, before "-greyscale RMS" was available. I suggest you upgrade.

I have applied the script, but it seems that there are something different was used.
