You will find an affine mapping (Matrix + You will find an affine mapping (Matrix + translation) between the translation) between the colorcolor spaces of the two spaces of the two images.images.

For every pixel For every pixel ii of the first image, you take its of the first image, you take its color color ppii = ( = (rrii, g, gii, b, bii)), and apply the mapping M. , and apply the mapping M.

You obtain the new color for pixel You obtain the new color for pixel ii::
