The term “color” can be used in two different ways. One way is to describe the subjective appearance of an object or a light source. The second way is to describe the physical characteristics of the stimulus. Throughout the last century attempts have been made to bridge these two domains with some, but not complete success. Perhaps a consequence of our inability to satisfactorily make this brid...

automatic road extraction from aerial images can be very helpful in traffic control and vehicle guidance systems. most of the road detection approaches are based on image segmentation algorithms. color-based segmentation is very sensitive to light changes and consequently the change of weather condition affects the recognition rate of road detection systems. in order to reduce the light change ...

the rotation curves of a sample of 46 low- and high-surface brightness galaxies are considered in the context of milgrom's modi_ed dynamics (mond) to test a new interpolating function proposed by zhao et al. (2010) [1] and compare with the results of simple interpolating function. the predicted rotation curves are calculated from the total baryonic matter based on the b-band surface photometry,...

Eye detection is an integral part of eye-tracking for without it there would be no eye-tracking at all. Most eye-trackers utilize infrared lights and cameras to find the eyes; however, while being quick to find a person’s eyes they can be inaccurate due to false positives caused by light reflection. Interestingly there exist multiple methods of color based eye detection that are able to find a ...

Light and color are ubiquitous environmental factors which have an influence on the human being. Hence, light and color issues have to be considered especially significant in human-computer interaction (HCI) and fundamental in affective computing. Affective computing is an interdisciplinary research field which aims to integrate issues dealing with emotions and computers. As a consequence, it s...

background : some characteristics of lighting sources such as color properties and ultraviolet emissions have important roles on visual and non-visual health effects of lighting. this study aimed to investigate the light emissions of some compact fluorescent lamps (cfls) and incandescent lamps commercially available to the iranian consumers. methods: sixty lamps included 48 single envelope cfls...

We present a quantum manipulation of a traveling light pulse using double atomic coherence for two-color stationary light and quantum frequency conversion. The quantum frequency conversion rate of the traveling light achieved by the two-color stationary light phenomenon is near unity. We theoretically discuss the two-color stationary light for the frequency conversion process in terms of pulse ...

The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display has recently become popular in the consumer electronics market. Compared with current LCD display technology, OLED is an emerging display technology that emits light by the pixels themselves and does not need an external back light as the illumination source. In this paper, we offer an approach to reduce power consumption on OLED displays for sequ...

Computational color constancy aims to estimate the color of the light source. The performance of many vision tasks, such as object detection and scene understanding, may benefit from color constancy by using the corrected object colors. Since traditional color constancy methods are based on specific assumptions, none of those methods can be used as a universal predictor. Further, shallow learni...
