Color reduction using local features and a kohonen self-organized feature map neural network
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper proposes a new method for reducing the number of colors in an image. The proposed approach uses both the image color components and local image characteristics to feed a Kohonen self-organized feature map (SOFM) neural network. After training, the neurons of the output competition layer define the proper color classes. The final image has the dominant image colors and its texture approaches the image local characteristics used. To speed up the entire algorithm and reduce memory requirements, a fractal scanning subsampling technique can be used. The method is applicable to all types of color images and can be easily extended to accommodate any type of spatial characteristics. Several experimental and comparative results are presented. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Imaging Syst Technol, 10, 404–409, 1999

Adaptive color reduction
The paper proposes an algorithm for reducing the number of colors in an image. The proposed adaptive color reduction (ACR) technique achieves color reduction using a tree clustering procedure. In each node of the tree, a self-organized neural network classifier (NNC) is used which is fed by image color values and additional local spatial features. The NNC consists of a principal component analy...
متن کاملColor reduction by using a new self-growing and self-organized neural network
A new method for the reduction of the number of colors in a digital image is proposed. The new method is based on the developed of a new neural network classifier that combines the advantages of the Growing Neural Gas (GNG) and the Kohonen Self-Organized Feature Map (SOFM) neural networks. We call the new neural network: Self-Growing and SelfOrganized Neural Gas (SGONG). Its main advantage is t...
متن کاملLandforms identification using neural network-self organizing map and SRTM data
During an 11 days mission in February 2000 the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) collected data over 80% of the Earth's land surface, for all areas between 60 degrees N and 56 degrees S latitude. Since SRTM data became available, many studies utilized them for application in topography and morphometric landscape analysis. Exploiting SRTM data for recognition and extraction of topographic ...
