Mathematical Morphology in the HLS Colour Space
نویسندگان
چکیده
The HLS colour space is widely used in image analysis as it is physically intuitive. As the hue component of this space is defined on the unit circle, standard greyscale image analysis operators, specifically morphological operators, are not applicable to it. A variation of the standard morphological operators which require the choice of an origin are discussed. In addition, some lexicographical vector orders, which allow mathematical morphology to be used in the HLS space, are presented. Included in these is a new saturationweighted hue order, which takes hue and saturation into account simultaneously.

Mathematical Morphology in the L*a*b* Colour Space
The use of mathematical morphology in the L*a*b* colour space is discussed. Initially, a description of the characteristics of the L*a*b* space and a comparison to the HLS space are given. This is followed by a theoretical demonstration of the use of weighting functions to impose a complete order on a vector space. Various colour weighting functions are considered, and one based on a model of a...
متن کاملA 3D-polar Coordinate Colour Representation Suitable for Image Analysis
The processing and analysis of colour images has become an important area of study and application. The representation of the RGB colour space in 3D-polar coordinates (hue, saturation and brightness) can sometimes simplify this task by revealing characteristics not visible in the rectangular coordinate representation. The literature describes many such spaces (HLS, HSV, etc.), but many of them,...
متن کاملSpeed v. Accuracy for High Resolution Colour Texture Classification
Methods for extracting features and classifying textures in high resolution colour images are presented. The proposed features are directional texture features obtained from the convolution of the Walsh-Hadamard transform with different orientations of texture patches from high resolution images, as well as simple chromatic features that correspond to hue and saturation in the HLS colour space....
متن کاملA Basin Morphology Approach to Colour Image Segmentation by Region Merging
The problem of colour image segmentation is investigated in the context of mathematical morphology. Morphological operators are extended to colour images by means of a lexicographical ordering in a polar colour space, which are then employed in the preprocessing stage. The actual segmentation is based on the use of the watershed transformation, followed by region merging, with the procedure bei...
متن کاملMathematical Morphology in the HSI Colour Space
Mathematical Morphology is a powerful non-linear image analysis techniques based on lattice theory. The definitions of morphological operators need an ordered lattice algebraic structure. In order to apply these operators to the colour images it is required, on one hand the choice of a suitable colour space representation and on the other hand, to establish an order in the colour space providin...
