The first step in many techniques for processing intensity and saturation in color images keeping hue unaltered is the transformation of the image data from RGB space to other color spaces such as LHS, HSI, YIQ, HSV, etc. Transforming from one space to another and processing in these spaces usually generate a gamut problem, i.e., the values of the variables may not be in their respective interv...

living with for the past several decades is, today, standardized as “Rec. 709” 1 (in the video industry) or “sRGB” 2 (in the computer industry). These systems share the same primaries. The gamut of Rec. 709/sRGB is bounded in 3-space by the triangle, depicted in Fig. 1, formed from the chromaticity coordinates of the primaries (see the sidebar, “Chronology of Display Primary Standards,” for a r...

Color gamuts of acrylic paints generated by paint mixing and varnishing is introduced. A colorant data including unit k, unit s, and Saunderson coefficients, K1 and K2, are optimized. The simulation result of paint gamut rendering contradicts a belief of color mixing theory that yellow, blue, and red primaries produces any green. In addition, a statistic gloss model shows that varnishing makes ...

In this research, we proposed a new image quality evaluation index Color Distribution Index (CDI). It considers color gamut, contrast ratio, maximum luminance, electro-optical characteristics such as gamma, bit depth and JND as human visual system to evaluate the ability for reproducing visually smooth gradation. When the CDI cell was defined, we verified JND from fundamental matter such as JND...

Image enhancement is aimed to improve image quality by maximizing the information content in the input image. In this article a PSO based hue preserving color image enhancement technique is proposed. The process is as follows. Image enhancement is considered as an optimization problem and particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used to solve it. The quality of the intensity image is improved by a ...

An in-depth systematic tongue color analysis system for medical applications is proposed. Using the tongue color gamut, tongue foreground pixels are first extracted and assigned to one of 12 colors representing this gamut. The ratio of each color for the entire image is calculated and forms a tongue color feature vector. Experimenting on a large dataset consisting of 143 Healthy and 902 Disease...

We report a systematic photometric study of LCD based on quantum dot (QD) backlight, and find the optimal emission spectrum combination in terms of system efficiency and wide color gamut. A QD-based LCD has potential to achieve 120% AdobeRGB color gamut in CIE 1931 and 140% in CIE 1976 color space, while keeping the same energy efficiency as conventional backlights. Moreover, we present a trans...

New emerging technologies in the field of multimedia, such as high dynamic range and wide color gamut, challenge the performance of existing image and video data processing algorithms, especially in terms of visual data compression and its faithful representation. High dynamic range and wide color gamut offer to capture and to represent a scene with extended amount of details in both, luminance...
