The International Color Consortium (ICC) has developed and refined a comprehensive and rigorous system for managing color. The CIE technical committee 8-01 has proposed a color appearance model for imaging applications. This paper describes issues that have to be considered when the CIECAM02 color appearance model is used within the framework of the ICC color management system. They concern dec...

A total of 132 fecal specimens containing verotoxin (VT) were subjected to counter-current immunoelectrophoresis (CIE). Of these, 113 (85.6%) were found to be positive by CIE. Another 71 stool specimens containing E. coli serogroup O157 but with flagellar antigens other than H7 were tested for verotoxin by CIE. These stool specimens were negative for VT on Vero cell monolayers. Of these 71 stoo...

BACKGROUND The NMDA receptor represents a particularly important site of ethanol action in the CNS. We recently reported that NMDA receptor 2B (NR2B) gene expression was persistently up-regulated following chronic intermittent ethanol (CIE) treatment. Increasing evidence that epigenetic mechanisms are involved in dynamic and long-lasting regulation of gene expression in multiple neuroadaptive p...

For dry toner electrophotographic color printers, we present a numerical simulation model describing the color printer response based on a physical characterization of the different electrophotographic process steps. The proposed model introduces a Cross Transfer Efficiency designed to predict the color transmittance spectra of multi-color prints by taking into account the transfer influence of...

We present a new segment-based method for saliency detection based on multi-size superpixels that combines local and global saliency cues. We extract superpixels at several scales and represent each superpixel with a normal distribution in CIE-Lab space estimated from its associated pixels. Global saliency is computed by grouping similar superpixels to estimate the spatial distribution of color...

A quat-silicone micro-emulsion (particle size <40 nm), an amino-silicone macro-emulsion (110 nm), and an alkyl modified silicone macro-emulsion (740 nm) were used to modify Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) sapwood. Treated and uncoated boards were exposed to natural weathering for one year along with water treated controls according to EN 927-3. The treatment with silicone emulsions did not enh...

Purpose: The purpose of the current study was to examine the effect of accelerated aging on color stability of the In-Ceram and Cergogold ceramic materials. Materials and Methods: Ceramic samples with 1.0 mm in diameter and 1.5 mm in thickness were prepared in three commonly used shades. CIE Lab readings were recorded with a spectrophotometer prior to experiments and after 100-hour accelerated ...

Observing colour robustly in images captured with off-theshelf cameras can be a challenge. Particularly if the observation is conducted over a long time, while encountering light changes. Factors playing into using this colour information directly for quantitative reasoning: unknown processing in the camera’s firm ware, unpredictable variations in illumination conditions, and colour descriptors...

Proceedings of the 1998 IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision, Bombay, India Bilateral filtering smooths images while preserving edges, by means of a nonlinear combination of nearby image values. The method is noniterative, local, and simple. It combines gray levels or colors based on both their geometric closeness and their photometric similarity, and prefers near values to distant ...
