Optimizing color reproduction of natural images

چکیده
The paper elaborates on understanding, measuring and optimizing perceived color quality of natural images. We introduce a model for optimal color reproduction of natural scenes which is based on the assumption that color quality of natural images is constrained by perceived naturalness and colorfulness of these images. To verify the model, a few experiments were carried out where subjects estimated the perceived ‘naturalness’, ‘colorfulness’ and ‘quality’ of images of natural scenes. The judgments were related to statistical parameters of the color point distribution across the images in the CIELUV color space. It was found that the perceptually optimal color reproduction can be derived from this statistic within the framework of our model. We specify naturalness, colorfulness and quality indices, describing the observer’s judgments. Finally, an algorithm for optimizing perceived quality of color reproduction of natural scenes is discussed.

Visual sensitivity to color errors in images of natural scenes.
Simple color-difference formulae and pictorial images have traditionally been used to estimate the visual impact of color errors introduced by image-reproduction processes. But the limited gamut of RGB cameras constrains such analyses, particularly of natural scenes. The purpose of this work was to estimate visual sensitivity to color errors introduced deliberately into pictures synthesized fro...
متن کاملNatural scene text localization using edge color signature
Localizing text regions in images taken from natural scenes is one of the challenging problems dueto variations in font, size, color and orientation of text. In this paper, we introduce a new concept socalled Edge Color Signature for localizing text regions in an image. This method is able to localizeboth Farsi and English texts. In the proposed method rst a pyramid using diff...
متن کاملColor Reproduction Using Riemann Normal Coordinates
In this paper we use tools from Riemann geometry to construct color reproduction methods that take into account the varying color perception properties of observers. We summarize the different steps in the processing: the estimation of the discrimination thresholds, the estimation of the Riemann metric, the construction of the metricpreserving or color-difference-preserving mapping and the usag...
متن کاملColor Gamut Mapping based on Mahalanobis Distance for Color Reproduction of Electronic Endoscope Image under Different Illuminant
In this paper, a color difference is defined instead of the conventional color differences to evaluate gamut-mapping techniques for electronic endoscope images reproduced on CRT under environmental illuminant. This color difference is defined from Mahalanobis distance by using covariance matrices for differences of metric lightness, chroma and hue angle. The covariance matrices for endoscope im...
متن کاملImproved Color Reproduction by Hue Preservation in Integrated Multi-scale Retinex
Tone reproduction is now widely used in the field of HDR imaging and image enhancement, especially to provide the proper luminance, so that captured images give the same sensation as the real scene. As a result, a high contrast and naturalness of colors can be obtained. In recent studies on tone reproduction with the objective of reproducing natural looking colors in digital images, an integrat...
