Abstract
The subject of this chapter is a collection of miscellaneous effects which affect the brightness and color perception in a input image or in a input video. For the sake of concreteness, we shall concentrate on three important effects: Vignetting, automatic gain control and white balance. Vignetting we define as a positiondependent loss of brightness in an input image. This loss of brightness manifests itself as a gradual fading-out of an image at points near the image periphery.White balancing we define as as the adjustment of an input image to recover its true coloration. Automatic gain control effects refers to the temporal variation of the camera settings as a result of automatic gain control mechanism.
