Colour displays and look-up tables: Real time modification of digital images

Digital Look Up Tables and Real Number

Colour displays for categorical images

We propose a method for identifying a set of colours for displaying 2-D and 3-D categorical images when the categories are unordered labels. The principle is to find maximally distinct sets of colours. We either generate colours sequentially, to maximise the dissimilarity or distance between a new colour and the set of colours already chosen, or use a simulated annealing algorithm to find a set...

Design and VLSI implementation of an ASIC for real-time manipulation of digital colour images

This paper presents the design and VLSI implementation, on a single chip, of a new real-time colour space converter, which performs the transformation of the RCB colour coordinates to the intensity, hue and saturation (IHS) colour space. This high speed VLSI chip is designed to work at 13.3 MHz and can process high resolution colour images of up to 697 pixels per horizontal line. Its minimum ra...

Higher Order Masking of Look-Up Tables

We describe a new algorithm for masking look-up tables of block-ciphers at any order, as a countermeasure against side-channel attacks. Our technique is a generalization of the classical randomized table countermeasure against first-order attacks. We prove the security of our new algorithm against t-th order attacks in the usual Ishai-Sahai-Wagner model from Crypto 2003; we also improve the bou...

Hierarchical Compression of Color Look Up Tables

Color lookup tables (CLUTs) that are embedded in printer firmware consume precious flash memory. In order to conserve memory and thereby reduce cost, it is desirable to compress CLUTs prior to storage and restore tables as required. In this paper, we investigate methods for lossless compression of CLUTs. We demonstrate that, through suitable pre-processing of data, significant improvements in c...
