Purpose: To evaluate the usefulness of wash-in color map in detecting early enhancement of prostate focal lesion compared to whole dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DEC MRI) images. Materials and Methods: This study engaged 50 prostate cancer patients who underwent multiparametric MRI and radical prostatectomy as subjects. An expert [R1] and a trainee [R2] independently evaluated early enhancement and recorded the time needed to review 1) a wash-in color map and 2) whole DCE MRI images. Results: The review of whole DCE images by R1 showed fair agreement with color map by R1, whole images by R2, and color map by R2 (weighted kappa values = 0.59, 0.44, and 0.58, respectively). Both readers took a significantly shorter time to review the color maps as compared to whole images (P < 0.001). Conclusion: A trainee could achieve better agreement with an expert when using wash-in color maps than when using whole DCE MRI images. Also, color maps took a significantly shorter evaluation time than whole images.

Objectives: This study assessed the reliability of digital color measurements using images of resin composite specimens captured with a cellphone. Materials and Methods: The reference color of cylindrical specimens built-up with the use of resin composite (shades A1, A2, A3, and A4) was measured with a portable spectrophotometer (CIELab). Images of the specimens were obtained individually or pairwise (compared shades in the same photograph) under standardized parameters. The color of the specimens was measured in the images using RGB system and converted to CIELab system using image processing software. Whiteness index (WI_D) and color differences (ΔE₀₀) were calculated for each color measurement method. For the cellphone, the ΔE₀₀ was calculated between the pairs of shades in separate images and in the same image. Data were analyzed using 2-way repeated-measures analysis of variance (α = 0.05). Linear regression models were used to predict the reference ΔE₀₀ values of those calculated using color measured in the images. Results: Images captured with the cellphone resulted in different WI_D values from the spectrophotometer only for shades A3 and A4. No difference to the reference ΔE₀₀ was observed when individual images were used. In general, a similar ranking of ΔE₀₀ among resin composite shades was observed for all methods. Stronger correlation coefficients with the reference ΔE₀₀ were observed using individual than pairwise images. Conclusions: This study showed that the use of cellphone images to measure the color difference seems to be a feasible alternative providing outcomes similar to those obtained with the spectrophotometer.

This paper describes a new algorithm for pixel-based skin color detection to differentiate human form in color images by the ratio of R to H. In order to detect skin color efficiently, we examine the distribution of the R, G and B color elements combining to constitute the skin color in various color images. It shows that R is located in a narrower area than G and B on the RGB color space. And skin color is more related to R than G and B. Meanwhile, when the color image is transformed to the HSI color space, the S is variously changed in accordance with skin colors. The I is changed in accordance with the quantity and angle of light. But the H is less influenced by other conditions except for color. On the basis of the aforementioned study, we propose that the threshold for skin color detection is decided by the ratio of R to H. The proposed method narrows down the range of threshold, detects more skin color and reduces mis-detection of skin color in comparison to detection by R or H. In experimentation. it shows that the proposed algorithm overcomes changes of brightness and color to detect skin color in color images.

The purpose of this research was to conduct a comparison analysis of color in the characteristics and image of Korea/China/Japan airline uniforms. Research subjects for this research included 19 Korean, Chinese and Japanese airlines servicing the Incheon International Airport in South Korea. The analysis methods are based on the Munsell Color Order System and PCCS (Practical Color Coordinate System) tone classification in order to examine the color characteristics. For the color image analysis, the present research performed a positioning on Shigenobu Kobayashi's color images scale with adjectives in order to compare the resulting differences. As a result of the analysis, this research discovered the following; First, achromatic colors were found to be used most frequently in flight attendant uniforms of Korea/China/Japan. In Korean flight attendant uniforms, YR/Y, GY and B/PB/P; in Chinese, R/PB, RP, YR/Y/GY and BG/P; in Japanese, RP, R/P/PB and Y/BG were found in order. As for the main uniform colors, Korean flight attendant uniforms were found to be in the colors YR, and R/GY/B/P; Chinese flight attendant uniforms, R, PB, and P/B; and Japanese flight attendant uniforms, R, BG, B, RP and N. Second, Korean flight attendant uniforms used W and It most frequently; China flight attendant uniforms, W; and Japanese flight attendant uniforms, W and v. Regarding the main colors, Korean flight atteddant uniforms used lt/g and v/p; Chinese flight attendant uniforms, v, dp and s/d/dkg; and Japanese flight attendant uniforms, v/dkg and Bk. Third, after positioning each country's uniform color combination bars on the Kobayashi image scale, Korean flight attendant uniforms showed classic images along with casual/pretty/elegant/chic images; Chinese flight attendant uniforms displayed, casual images as well as, dynamic/gorgeous/chic/cool casual/dandy images; and finally, Japanese flight attendant uniforms converyed dandy images along with casual/gorgeous images. This research findings indicate that Korea/China/Japan airlines' flight attendant uniforms seek for differentiated image establishment by reflecting their own CIs and unique national cultures in the uniform color marketing.

이미지에 포함되어 있는 텍스트들은 이미지의 내용을 함축적이며 구체적으로 표현하는 정보를 갖고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 정보를 정확히 추출하기 위해서 색 변화 특징을 이용한 텍스트 영역 추출 방법을 제안한다. 관찰에 의하면 이미지 내의 텍스트들은 주변 배경과의 색 변화가 존재하며, 이러한 색 변화를 3차원 RGB공간에서 표현한다면, 명도이미지에서의 밝기 변화에서 표현하기 어려운 영역들을 강조시킬 수 있으며, 조명 변화에도 민감하지 않은 결과를 만들어 낼 수 있다. 색 변화 정도는 3차원 RBG 공간에서의 색 분산(Variance)으로 측정한다 처리 과정으로서 우선 수평 및 수직 방향의 분산 이미지를 구하는데, 텍스트 영역은 두 방향의 분산 값이 모두 높은 특징이 있다. 다음으로 두 결과의 논리적 AND 연산을 수행하여 불필요한 잡영들을 제거한 후 연결요소를 분석, 검증하여 영역을 최종 확정한다. 다양한 종류의 자연이미지로 제안한 방법을 검증한 결과 밝기 변화 또는 색 연속성 특징들을 이용한 방법에서 찾기 어려운 텍스트 영역들을 찾을 수 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The mainstay of current image recovery frameworks is Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR). The most distinctive retrieval method involves the submission of an image query, after which the system extracts visual characteristics such as shape, color, and texture from the images. Most of the techniques use RGB color space to extract and classify images as it is the default color space of the images when those techniques fail to change the color space of the images. To determine the most effective color space for retrieving images, this research discusses the transformation of RGB to different color spaces, feature extraction, and usage of Convolutional Neural Networks for retrieval.

A field-sequential color projection system can display color images using panel. However, it suffers from a characteristic trichromatic separation known as "color breakup". The viewing of images exhibiting color breakup may cause visual fatigue and mental stress. In this study, the authors examine, from the standpoint of human factors, the objective and subjective symptoms that can result from the viewing of images with color breakup.

색은 칼라 모니터 상에서 삼원색에 대한 수치를 조합하여 나타내는 RGB칼라모델과 명도, 색도, 채도항의 IHS 칼라모델, CMY칼라모델, YIQ 칼라모델 등을 이용하여 나타낼 수 있다. IHS칼라모델은 RGB칼라모델보다 사용자가 색을 수학적으로 평가하여 쉽게 조정할 수 있는 이점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 Landsat TM의 밴드 3,2,1을 조합한 인공위성 영상과 스캐닝한 지도영상을 IHS 변환과 명도 조정 기법을 이용하여 색분해를 통한 재합성을 실시하므로서 천연색 지도 영상을 제작할 수 있었다. 그리고 인공위성영상과 지도영상을 합성할 때 발생하는 문제점과 그 해결방안을 제시하였다.

컬러 영상의 콘트라스트를 향상시키기 위해서 가장 많이 사용되는 방법은 컬러 영상의 밝기 값에 콘트라스트 향상 알고리즘을 적용시키는 것이다. 이 방법은 색상 열화 없이 콘트라스트가 향상된 결과를 얻을 수 있지만, 원본 영상 대비 결과 영상의 채도가 감소되는 문제가 발생한다. 컬러 영상의 콘트라스트를 향상시키기 위한 또 다른 방법은 컬러 영상의 각 채널에 콘트라스트 향상 알고리즘을 적용시키는 것이다. 이 방법은 콘트라스트와 채도가 동시에 향상되지만 색상 열화가 발생하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 컬러 영상의 각 채널 처리 시 발생하는 색상 열화 원인을 분석하여 이를 보상해주는 방법으로 색상 열화 문제를 해결하였다. 또한 각 채널의 특성을 고려한 채널 적응적 콘트라스트 향상 방법을 이용하여 색상 열화를 방지하는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안하는 방법을 이용하면 컬러 영상의 콘트라스트 향상뿐만 아니라 색상 열화가 발생하지 않으면서 채도가 향상된 결과 영상을 획득할 수 있다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안하는 방법이 주관적 평가뿐 아니라 객관적 평가 지표들에서도 기존 방법들보다 우수한 성능을 보이는 것을 확인 할 수 있다.

Demosaicing, or color filter array (CFA) interpolation, estimates missing color channels of raw mosaiced images from a CFA to reproduce full-color images. It is an essential process for single-sensor digital cameras with CFAs. In this paper, a new demosaicing method for digital cameras with Bayer-like W-RGB CFAs is proposed. To preserve the edge structure when reproducing full-color images, we propose an edge direction-adaptive method using color difference estimation between different channels, which can be applied to practical digital camera use. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method in terms of CPSNR, FSIM, and S-CIELAB color distance measures, we perform simulations on sets of mosaiced images captured by an actual prototype digital camera with a Bayer-like W-RGB CFA. The simulation results show that the proposed method demosaics better than a conventional one by approximately +22.4% CPSNR, +0.9% FSIM, and +36.7% S-CIELAB distance.
