Abstract:

The color of the blends of pre-colored fibers depends on the ratio of each fiber in the blends. Some theories have been introduced for color matching of blends of pre-colored fibers. Most however, are restricted in scope and accuracy. Kubelka and Munk presented the most applicable theory, which is still used in industry. In this work, the classical Kubelka-Munk method for color prediction of a series of grays, prepared from different ratio of black and white is compared with new technique, which apply neural networks. Thirteen different blends with different ratio of virgin and black fibers were prepared. The reflection of samples was measured and then a two layers network was designed. The modified back-propagation learning strategy was applied. The Sum of Squares Error was calculated for evaluation of methods. Results showed better prediction for networks in comparison to Kubelka-Munk algorithm.

Capturing the Color of Black and White

One of the first and iconic imaging targets to be developed for color photography was described by McCamy, Marcus, and Davidson. That was more than thirty years ago and, for better or for worse, the Macbeth ColorCheckerTM continues to be a de-facto target standard in imaging circles. The target was designed to simulate the spectral nature of critical or problematic colors for consumer photograp...

extracting, recognizing, and counting white blood cells from microscopic figures by using complex-valued neural networks

in this paper we present a method related to extracting white blood cells (wbcs) from blood microscopic figures and recognizing them and counting each kind of wbcs. in this method, first we extract the white blood cells from other blood cells by rgb color system's help. in continuance, by using the features of each kind of globules and their color scheme, we extract a normalized feature vector,...

Color matching of fabric blends: hybrid Kubelka-Munk + artificial neural network based method

Color matching of fabric blends is a key issue for the textile industry, mainly due to the rising need to create high-quality products for the fashion market. The process of mixing together differently colored fibers to match a desired color is usually performed by using some historical recipes, skillfully managed by company colorists. More often than desired, the first attempt in creating a bl...

Color for Black-and-White Cartoons

This poster introduces a novel semi-automatic colorization framework which is suitable for cartoons originally shot in blackand-white on classical celluloid films. More specifically we focus especially on the cel or paper based cartoon making technology. In this case usually the background layer is a static image and only the dynamic foreground needs to be colorized frame-by-frame. We also assu...

Black-white Reflective Liquid Crystal Display Prepared with Two Color Reflective Layers

Reflective cholesteric liquid crystal displays (Ch-LCD) with bistability are very attractive because of their excellent readability, low power consumption with image memory, high reflectivity, high contrast ratio at a wide viewing angle, and a low manufacturing cost[1]. Cholesteric liquid crystal displays have several unique features suitable for mobile displays, public information displays, si...
