Abstract

We present a technique for colour matching between stereo pairs of images. We use a pre-computed disparity map to find corresponding areas and achieve high quality results for localised colour grading. We avoid direct pixel-to-pixel matches and instead use a gridding system in order to constrain the area of focus and allow for a more subtle manipulation of colour. Our method maintains existing noise without introducing more, allowing it to be used in movie post-production without affecting other artistic decisions. We bring together elements from image correspondence algorithms and colour transfer techniques in order to manipulate localised areas to have a very close match.
