A simple, rapid and eco-friendly method has long been needed for evaluating the compost stability because application of unstable compost in agricultural field causes phytotoxicity. Thus, the CIELAB variables L*, a*, b*, a* x b*, a* / b*, 2000a* / (L* x b*), 1000a* / (L* + b*), chroma (C*ab), hue (hab) and color difference (∆E00) in dried (70oC) and ground composting materials (particle size ≤ ...

This paper describes a method for constructing a lookup table relating a three-dimensional CMY coordinate system to CMYK colorant amounts in a way that maximizes the utilization of the printer gamut volume. The method is based on an assumption, satisfied by most printers, that adding a black colorant to any combination of CMY colorants does not result in a color with more chroma. Therefore the ...

The CMC, BFD, and CIE94 color-difference formulas have been compared throughout their weighting functions to the CIELAB components DL*, DC*, DH*, and from their performance with respect to several wide datasets from old and recent literature. Predicting the magnitude of perceived color differences, a statistically significant improvement upon CIELAB should be recognized for these three formulas...

A vehicle license plate recognition system extracts plate information from a digital image through image processing technology. License plate extraction (LPE) is the premise and key concept of license plate recognition systems. In China, two-row license plates are yellow and dirty. Thus, a novel license plate extraction method based on CIELab color space is proposed in this paper. The method in...

A measure is developed for comparing complex scenes produced by single-chip digital color cameras. The proposed measure is based on the CIELAB color space with appropriate considerations to the sensitivity of the Human Visual System (HVS) when viewing a complex scene. For comparison purposes, the error measures proposed have been implemented using the , and the recently recommended color differ...

The RIT-DuPont data set is used to investigate the Euclidean color-difference formulas DIN99d, DIN99o and IPT. The coordinates of the metrics as well as the metrics themselves are transformed to the CIELAB color space, the latter by means of the Jacobians of the coordinate transformations. The RIT-DuPont ellipsoids in the CIELAB space are compared to the Euclidean metrics using two different me...

In recent years, various color difference formulas were developed for the CIELAB space, such as CMC, CIE94 and CIEDE2000. Although these formulas have achieved greater accuracy in perceptual measurement between colors, many applications cannot take advantage of this greater precision, because the Euclidean distances in CIELAB are not isometric in accordance with these new formulas. Thus, applic...
