Histogram-based segmentation in a perceptually uniform color space
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work, we present a segmentation algorithm for color images that uses the watershed algorithm to segment either the two-dimensional (2-D) or the three-dimensional (3-D) color histogram of an image. For compliance with the way humans perceive color, this segmentation has to take place in a perceptually uniform color space like the Luv space. To avoid oversegmentation, the watershed algorithm has to be applied to a smoothed histogram.

Block Histogram-Based Neural Fuzzy Approach to the Segmentation of Skin Colors
Skin color segmentation by a block histogram-based neural fuzzy network is proposed in this paper. The Hue-Saturation (HS) color model is used. Color information is represented by a block histogram in an HS space image. Several non-uniform quantization approaches on HS space are proposed to represent histogram information as accurately as possible. The neural fuzzy network used is the self-cons...
متن کاملA hierarchical approach to color image segmentation using homogeneity
In this paper, a novel hierarchical approach to color image segmentation is studied. We extend the general idea of a histogram to the homogeneity domain. In the first phase of the segmentation, uniform regions are identified via multilevel thresholding on a homogeneity histogram. While we process the homogeneity histogram, both local and global information is taken into consideration. This is p...
متن کاملRotation Invariant Color Texture Classification in Perceptually Uniform Color Spaces
* * * b a L is a perceptually uniform color space and HSV approximately perceptually uniform space for representing color. But commonly used color space is RGB, which is not perceptually uniform. In this work we compare these three-color spaces for rotation invariant color texture classification. The inclusion of color aspects of texture in image processing is increasing rapidly. Gabor wavelets...
متن کاملSegmentation and histogram generation using the HSV color space for image retrieval
We have analyzed the properties of the HSV (Hue, Saturation and Value) color space with emphasis on the visual perception of the variation in Hue, Saturation and Intensity values of an image pixel. We extract pixel features by either choosing the Hue or the Intensity as the dominant property based on the Saturation value of a pixel. The feature extraction method has been applied for both image ...
متن کاملColor Difference Histogram for Feature Extraction in Video Retrieval
Content Based Video retrieval is another facet of Content Based Retrieval systems. It is to be noted that videos are far more complex than images as they are a sequence of changing images and audio tracks. Here the content of the videos itself is matched with the query of the user. Video retrieval consists of a series of steps such as segmentation, frame selection, feature extraction and simila...
