Swap Histogram of two different images

I have two different images (Image A and Image B), whose histograms (histImage and histImage1) i have already computed. Now I want that the histogram of Image A becomes the histogram of Image B. So that the Image B gets the colors similar to Image A. code is as follow:

    #include "stdafx.h"
#include "opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp"
#include "opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp"
#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>

using namespace std;
using namespace cv;
int main( )
{
  Mat src, dst, src1;

  /// Load image
  src = imread("ImageA", 1 );   // Image A
  src1 = imread("ImageB", 1 ); // Image B

  if( !src.data )
    { return -1; }

  /// Separate the image in 3 places ( B, G and R )
  vector<Mat> bgr_planes;
   vector<Mat> bgr_planes1;
  split( src, bgr_planes );
  split( src1, bgr_planes1 );

  /// Establish the number of bins
  int histSize = 256;

  /// Set the ranges ( for B,G,R) )
  float range[] = { 0, 256 } ;
  const float* histRange = { range };

  bool uniform = true; bool accumulate = false;

  Mat b_hist, g_hist, r_hist;  //ImageA
  Mat b_hist1, g_hist1, r_hist1; //ImageB

  /// Compute the histograms of Image A
  calcHist( &bgr_planes[0], 1, 0, Mat(), b_hist, 1, &histSize, &histRange, uniform, accumulate );
  calcHist( &bgr_planes[1], 1, 0, Mat(), g_hist, 1, &histSize, &histRange, uniform, accumulate );
  calcHist( &bgr_planes[2], 1, 0, Mat(), r_hist, 1, &histSize, &histRange, uniform, accumulate );
   /// Compute the histograms of Image B
    calcHist( &bgr_planes1[0], 1, 0, Mat(), b_hist1, 1, &histSize, &histRange, uniform, accumulate );
  calcHist( &bgr_planes1[1], 1, 0, Mat(), g_hist1, 1, &histSize, &histRange, uniform, accumulate );
  calcHist( &bgr_planes1[2], 1, 0, Mat(), r_hist1, 1, &histSize, &histRange, uniform, accumulate );


  // Draw the histograms for B, G and R
  int hist_w = 512; int hist_h = 400;   //Image A
  int bin_w = cvRound( (double) hist_w/histSize ); //Image A
   int hist_w1 = 512; int hist_h1 = 400;  //Image B
    int bin_w1 = cvRound( (double) hist_w1/histSize );//Image B

  Mat histImage( hist_h, hist_w, CV_8UC3, Scalar( 0,0,0) );  //ImageA
    Mat histImage1( hist_h1, hist_w1, CV_8UC3, Scalar( 0,0,0) ); //ImageB

  /// Normalize the result to [ 0, histImage.rows ] ImageA
  normalize(b_hist, b_hist, 0, histImage.rows, NORM_MINMAX, -1, Mat() );
  normalize(g_hist, g_hist, 0, histImage.rows, NORM_MINMAX, -1, Mat() );
  normalize(r_hist, r_hist, 0, histImage.rows, NORM_MINMAX, -1, Mat() );
    /// Normalize the result to [ 0, histImage.rows ] ImageB
    normalize(b_hist1, b_hist1, 0, histImage.rows, NORM_MINMAX, -1, Mat() );
  normalize(g_hist1, g_hist1, 0, histImage.rows, NORM_MINMAX, -1, Mat() );
  normalize(r_hist1, r_hist1, 0, histImage.rows, NORM_MINMAX, -1, Mat() );


  /// Draw for each channel  ImageA
  for( int i = 1; i < histSize; i++ )
  {
      line( histImage, Point( bin_w*(i-1), hist_h - cvRound(b_hist.at<float>(i-1)) ) ,
                       Point( bin_w*(i), hist_h - cvRound(b_hist.at<float>(i)) ),
                       Scalar( 255, 0, 0), 2, 8, 0  );
      line( histImage, Point( bin_w*(i-1), hist_h - cvRound(g_hist.at<float>(i-1)) ) ,
                       Point( bin_w*(i), hist_h - cvRound(g_hist.at<float>(i)) ),
                       Scalar( 0, 255, 0), 2, 8, 0  );
      line( histImage, Point( bin_w*(i-1), hist_h - cvRound(r_hist.at<float>(i-1)) ) ,

One way to swap the histograms would be to follow the methodology used in histogram equalisation.

  • Compute the histograms (H1 and H2) respectively for the two images (I1 and I2) and normalise them (already done in your code).
  • Compute the cumulative histograms - also called cumulative distribution functions - C1 and C2 corresponding to H1 and H2 as explained here.
  • Substitute new values for every pixel in I1 using the cumulative histogram C2 as explained here.
  • Do the same for every pixel in I2, using cumulative histogram C1.
