This paper presents a hue preserving gamut mapping algorithm for color monitor and printer. The gamuts of monitor and printer are set by the profile of color reproduction media, specified by ICC(International Color Consortium) and provided by vendors, then those gamuts are represented on the CIE xy color space. In case that the color of monitor are located on out-of-gamut of printer, these are clipped on the point of gamut boundary of printer towards a reference white point. On the other hand, colors are in-gamut of printer are unchanged. An image generated by the algorithm keeps a ratio of each pixel of original image. Advantages of the algorithm are easy to implement and fast processing time than other algorithms which involve hue preserving especially in CIELAB color space.

Color image quantization is a process of selecting a set of colors to display an image with some representative colors without noticeable perceived difference. It is very important in many applications to display a true color image in a low cost color monitor or printer. the basic problem is how to display 224 colors with 256 or less colors, called color palette. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to design the 256 or less size color palette by using spatial maskin geffect of HVS and subjective distortion measure weighted by color palette by using spatial masking effect of HVS and subjective distortion measure weighted by color activity in 4*4 local region in any color image. The proposed algorithm consists of octal prequantization and subdivision quantization processing step using the distortion measure and modified Otsu's between class variance maximization method. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has higher visual quality and needs less consuming time than conventional algorithms.

Sorting cut roses according to quality is very essential to increase the value of the product. Many factors are involved in determining the grade of cut roses: length, thickness, and straightness of stem, color and maturity of bud, and extra. Among these factors, the stem straightness and bud maturity are considered to be difficult to set proper classification criteria. In this study, a prototype machine and an analysis procedure were developed to grade cut roses according to stem straightness and bud maturity by utilizing color image processing and neural network. The test results indicated 15.8% classification error for stem straightness and 10.0% for bud maturity.

An image obtained from a low light environment results in a low-exposure problem caused by non-ideal camera settings, i.e. aperture size and shutter speed. Of particular note, the multiple color-filter aperture (MCA) system inherently suffers from low-exposure problems and performance degradation in its image classification and registration processes due to its finite size of the apertures. In this context, this paper presents a novel method for the color enhancement of low-exposure images and its application to color shift model-based MCA system for image refocusing. Although various histogram equalization (HE) approaches have been proposed, they tend to distort the color information of the processed image due to the range limits of the histogram. The proposed color enhancement algorithm enhances the global brightness by analyzing the basic cause of the low-exposure phenomenon, and then compensates for the contrast degradation artifacts by using an adaptive histogram specification. We also apply the proposed algorithm to the preprocessing step of the refocusing technique in the MCA system to enhance the color image. The experimental results confirm that the proposed method can enhance the contrast of any low-exposure color image acquired by a conventional camera, and is suitable for commercial low-cost, high-quality imaging devices, such as consumer-grade camcorders, real-time 3D reconstruction systems, digital, and computational cameras.

In this paper, we present an color quantization method by complementing the disadvantage of K-means color quantization that is one of the well-known color quantization. We named the proposed method "octree-means" color quantization. K-means color quantization does not use all of the clusters because it initializes the centroid of clusters with random value. The proposed method complements this disadvantage by using the octree color quantization which is fast and uses the distribution of colors in image. We compare the proposed method to six well-known color quantization methods on ten test images to evaluate the performance. The experimental results show 68.29 percent of mean square error(MSE) and processing time increased by 14.34 percent compared with K-means color quantization. Therefore, the proposed method improved the K-means color quantization and perform an effective color quantization.

In this study, the automatic face tracking algorithm is proposed by using the color and edge information of a color image. To reduce the effects of variations in the illumination conditions, an acquired CCD color image is first transformed into YCbCr color coordinates, and subsequently the morphological image processing operations, and the elliptical geometric measures are applied to extract the refined facial area.

An eigen color co-occurrence approach is proposed that exploits the correlation between color channels to identify the degree of image similarity. This method is based on traditional co-occurrence matrix method and histogram equalization. On the purpose of feature extraction, eigen color co-occurrence matrices are computed for extracting the statistical relationships embedded in color images by applying Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on a set of color co-occurrence matrices, which are computed on the histogram equalized images. That eigen space is created with a set of orthogonal axes to gain the essential structures of color co-occurrence matrices, which is used to identify the degree of similarity to classify an input image to be tested for various purposes. In this paper RGB, Gaussian color space are compared with grayscale image in terms of PCA eigen features embedded in histogram equalized co-occurrence features. The experimental results are presented.

본 논문에서는 물체의 경계선을 고려한 칼라 영상 분할 방법을 제안한다. 제안 방법은 먼저 원영상을 벡터 양자화한 후 양자화된 영상의 인덱스 맵을 이용하여 초기 영역을 설정하였다. 그 후 HSI컬러 공간을 이용한 영역 병합에서 물체의 경계선을 고려하기 위해 경계선 제한 성분을 적용하여 영역들을 병합하였다. 또한 RGB 컬러 공간을 이용하여 HSI 컬러 공간에서 병합되지 않은 영역들을 병합하였다. 그리 고 영역병합 알고리즘을 통해 반복적인 처리를 감소시킴으로써 처리 시간을 줄였다. 실험 결과에서는 다양한 영상에 대해 주요 영역들의 분할 결과 및 처리소요시간에서 우수한 성능을 보였다.
