Verfahren und Vorrichtung zur Sekundaerbilderzeugung und zur schnellen Suche in digitalen Bilddatenbanken

NOVELTY - The digital image processing method provides a secondary image from an original image via a digital signal processor for wavelet separation, with a color transformation used for matching the digital color and brightness levels to the color and brightness sensitivity of the human eye and/or an image reduction for reduction of the image coefficients. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A digital image processing device is independently claimed. USE - For processing images for image databank. ADVANTAGE - The processing method allows 100,000 images or more to be stored in an image databank. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a schematic representation of the wavelet separation of the original image.
