Aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD) was used for the first time in the preparation of thin-film electrochromic nickel(II) oxide (NiO). The as-deposited films were cubic NiO, with an octahedral-like grain structure, and an optical band gap that decreased from 3.61 to 3.48 eV on increase in film thickness (in the range 500-1000 nm). On oxidative voltammetric cycling in aqueous KOH ...

Digital watermarking is the field of digital image processing which deals with hiding information in a digital content. In this paper, performance analysis of DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) based digital image watermarking using color spaces is done. Mostly, images that are taken for digital watermarking experiments are in RGB (Red, Green and Blue) color space. Eight different color spaces are...

We focus on a recently proposed regression framework termed lattice regression, as applied to the construction of multidimensional color management look-up tables from empirical measurements. The key idea of lattice regression is that the construction of a look-up table should take into account the interpolation function used in its final implementation. Lattice regression solves for the look-u...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE A cross-polarized diffuse reflectance (CDR) color imaging system was developed for quantitative evaluation of port wine stain (PWS) response to laser therapy. To obtain calibrated Commission International de l'Eclairage (CIE) color space images from RGB (red, green, and blue) images, it was necessary to derive an optimized conversion matrix specific to our imaging syste...

Two methods for colorimetric characterization of color scanner are proposed based on the measures of perceptual color difference error. The first method is used to minimize the total color differences between the actual and predicted color samples. The second one, which is a generalization of the existing cubic-root preprocessing technique, derives the mapping between the p’th root of scanner r...

An ecological approach has been obtained by using natural dyes and mordant for dyeing process. Fabrics dyed using myrobalan extract as natural mordants and green dye. A red color were obtained by using theses mordants. The color of dyed fabrics was investigated in CIELab L, a and b and K/S values. Finally, all dyed fabrics were tested for wash and light fastness properties as per ISO standard t...

The effect of two anti-fungal treatments (metrafenone and boscalid + kresoxim-methyl) on the color and phenolic profile of Tempranillo and Graciano red wines has been studied. To evaluate possible modifications in color and phenolic composition of wines, control and wines elaborated with treated grapes under good agricultural practices were analyzed. Color was assessed by Glories and CIELab par...

Color is one of the most effective visual variables since it can be combined with other mappings and encode information without using any additional space on the display. An important example where expressing additional visual dimensions is direly needed is the analysis of high-dimensional data. The property of perceptual linearity is desirable in this application, because the user intuitively ...

We propose a method for the colorimetric characterization of a printer which can also be applied to any other type of digital image reproduction device. The method is based on a computational geometry approach. It uses a 3D triangulation technique to build a tetrahedral partition of the printer color gamut volume and it generates a surrounding structure enclosing the definition domain. The char...
