Color segmentation through independent anisotropic diffusion of complex chromaticity and lightness
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new technique based on anisotropic diffusion for segmenting color images. This operation is accomplished through two independent anisotropic diffusion processes: one involving only the chromatic information, conveniently embedded in a complex function, and the other affecting the lightness information. The results of the two diffusions are separately segmented and their combination allows the color image to be eventually partitioned. We report on some experimental results verifying the effectiveness of such a technique.

Color image enhancement via chromaticity diffusion
A novel approach for color image denoising is proposed in this paper. The algorithm is based on separating the color data into chromaticity and brightness, and then processing each one of these components with partial differential equations or diffusion flows. In the proposed algorithm, each color pixel is considered as an n-dimensional vector. The vectors' direction, a unit vector, gives the c...
متن کاملColor Improvement Based on Local Color Transfer in Digital Intermediate of Digital Cinema
In digital cinema, an image goes through many types of processes like scanning, mastering, and digital intermediate. Among them, the digital intermediate process plays a central role because it determines the final color of an image. It edits and changes the colors of the images. However, some color distortions such as color bleeding are generated when editing and changing local colors in an im...
متن کاملA Novel Spot-Enhancement Anisotropic Diffusion Method for the Improvement of Segmentation in Two-dimensional Gel Electrophoresis Images, Based on the Watershed Transform Algorithm
Introduction Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DGE) is a powerful technique in proteomics for protein separation. In this technique, spot segmentation is an essential stage, which can be challenging due to problems such as overlapping spots, streaks, artifacts and noise. Watershed transform is one of the common methods for image segmentation. Nevertheless, in 2DGE image segmentation, the no...
متن کاملLightness dependence of achromatic loci in color-appearance coordinates
Shifts in the appearance of color under different illuminant chromaticity are known to be incomplete, and fit nicely with a simple linear transformation of cone responses that aligns the achromatic points under two illuminants. Most chromaticity-transfer functions with von-Kries-like transformations use only one set of values to fit the color shifts from one illuminant to another. However, an a...
متن کاملColour text segmentation in web images based on human perception
There is a significant need to extract and analyse the text in images on Web documents, for effective indexing, semantic analysis and even presentation by non-visual means (e.g., audio). This paper argues that the challenging segmentation stage for such images benefits from a human perspective of colour perception in preference to RGB colour space analysis. The proposed approach enables the seg...
