Potential Contrast: Properties, Equivalences, and Generalization to Multiple Classes
Potential contrast is typically used as an image quality measure and quantifies the maximal possible contrast between samples from two classes of pixels in an image after an arbitrary grayscale transformation. It has been valuable in cultural heritage applications, identifying and visualizing relevant information in multispectral images while requiring a small number of pixels to be manually sampled. In this work, we introduce a normalized version of potential contrast that removes dependence on image format and also prove equalities that enable generalization to more than two classes and to continuous settings. Finally, we exemplify the utility of multi-class normalized potential contrast through an application to a medieval music manuscript with visible bleedthrough from the back page. We share our implementations, based on both original algorithms and our new equalities, including generalization to multiple classes, at https://github.com/wallacepeaslee/Multiple-Class-Normalized-Potential-Contrast.
