Hi

With the Gimp image manipulation program, I frequently increase contrast by using the color curve tool. From this:

to this:

There is a small tutorial that talks about increasing contrast here: http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/core/basic_linear_transform/basic_linear_transform.html

Therefore, I assume this operation would give the desired effect:

image.convertTo(alpha: 1.3, beta: -20)

I would have to calculate the exact alpha and beta values in order to exactly represent the above color curve. Maybe anybody can comment on these assumptions or has suggestions?

Thank you very much.

The following code calculates the appropriate measures:

    int xdist = indentRight - indentLeft; // indent as index from 0 to 256, for the above picture: indentRight: 235, indentLeft: 15
    double alpha = 256.0 / xdist;
    int beta = (int) -(indentLeft* alpha);
