    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method and apparatus for image enhancement. In particular, there is provided a method for image enhancement, the method comprising: estimating unsharpness of the image (S201-S204); determining a protection level of at least one pixel in the image based on the unsharpness (S205); and modifying a value of the at least one pixel to enhance the image, an amount of the modifying being determined at least in part based on the protection level (S206-S210). A corresponding apparatus and user device are disclosed. The invention may be applied to fog or haze removal from images or video without producing over-removal artifacts. In some embodiments, the invention may also be used to remove noise from low-light images.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method and apparatus for detecting an imaging condition. In one embodiment, there is provided a method for detecting an imaging condition. The method comprises: determining, based on luminance distribution in a first image of a scene, imaging lightness of the first image, the first image being captured by a first camera; determining, based on detection of a highlighted region in a second image of the scene, imaging exposureness of the second image, the second image being captured by a second camera, the first image and the second image being captured under a same or similar imaging condition, an exposure amount of the first camera being lower than an exposure amount of the second camera. There is also disclosed a relevant apparatus, electronic device, and a computer program product.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for processing a video frame in a video file, the method comprising: for each predetermined numerical value of one or more predetermined numerical values, comparing the video frame with a video frame spaced prior to the video frame by the predetermined numerical value of frames to obtain a first inter-frame difference; comparing the video frame with a video frame spaced after the video frame by the predetermined numerical value of frames to obtain a second inter-frame difference; and for each pixel of the video frame, obtaining a confidence map associating the video frame by the predetermined numerical value based on a smaller value of the first inter-frame difference and the second inter-frame difference; and determining, at least based on a value of each pixel in one or more of the confidence maps associated with a corresponding predetermined numerical value, whether the pixel belongs to a foreground.
