The present study investigated how children learn the meanings of basic color words and are immersed into the language-specific system of the color lexicon. The study examined how children discover the boundaries of color names by having 3-, 4-, and 5year-old children produce names for 93 color patches. We found that even 3-year-olds children can map color words to its typical referents. At the...

Basic features of color superconductivity are reviewed, focusing on the regime of “moderate densities”, which is not accessible by perturbation theory. We discuss the standard picture of twoand three flavor color superconductors and study the color-flavor unlocking phase transition within an NJL-type model.

Color which is one of the basic features of the image is widely used in image processing. The choice of color space is a primary issue for the color image segmentation based on color features. In this paper, giant pandas are chosen as the research objects. In order to achieve good segmentation results, different color spaces and the corresponding algorithms are chosen for image segmentation acc...

This contribution describes using fuzzy c-means clustering method in image segmentation. Segmentation method is based on a basic region growing method and uses membership grades’ of pixels to classify pixels into appropriate segments. Images were in RGB color space, as feature space was used L*u*v* color space. Results were obtained on five color test images by experimental simulations in Matlab.

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...

Image retrieval can be dealt by combining standard descriptors, such as those of MPEG-7, which are defined independently for each visual cue (e.g. SCD or CLD for Color, HTD for texture or EHD for edges). A common problem is to combine similarities coming from descriptors representing different concepts in different spaces. In this paper we propose a color texture description that bypasses this ...

Causality visualization is an important tool for many scientific domains that involve complex interactions between multiple entities (examples include parallel and distributed systems in computer science). However, traditional visualization techniques such as Hasse diagrams are not well-suited to large system executions, and users often have difficulties answering even basic questions using the...
