Much research on color representation and categorization has assumed that relations among color terms can be proxies for relations among color percepts. We test this assumption by comparing the mapping of color words with color appearances among different observer groups performing cognitive tasks: (1) an invariance of naming task; and (2) triad similarity judgments of color term and color appe...

A novel method of extracting color information on a pixel-by-pixel basis or by the average regions interest (ROIs) from digital images is proposed and demonstrated using newly developed customized image-processing/analysis software (PicMan). For quantitative statistical analyses color, can be used for archive forensic applications in various fields. The differences between unrelated, similar, i...

The study identified 9045 high-quality SNPs employing both genome-wide GBS- and candidate gene-based SNP genotyping assays in 172, including 93 cultivated (desi and kabuli) and 79 wild chickpea accessions. The GWAS in a structured population of 93 sequenced accessions detected 15 major genomic loci exhibiting significant association with seed coat color. Five seed color-associated major genomic...

Introduction: The most important factor affecting the outcome of osteosynthesis is not the degree of displacement, but femoral head perfusion after femoral neck fracture. Classifications based on plane radiography including Garden’s classification cannot reflect perfusion of the femoral head. We estimated femoral head perfusion in patients with femoral neck fracture using dynamic magnetic reson...

ABSTARCT With the advent of digital images the problem of keeping picture visualization uniformity arises because each printing or scanning device has its own color chart. So, universal color profiles are made by ICC to bring uniformity in various types of devices. Keeping that color profile in mind various new color charts are created and calibrated with the help of standard IT8 test charts av...

Color information is usually discarded when converting a color image into a grayscale image. However, it is sometimes desirable to reflect chrominance change where luminance contrast is not obvious. Inspired by tone mapping technique, this paper proposes a similar method for color to grayscale conversion, which in addition takes into account the local chrominance changes. The result shows great...
