The Rochester Institute of Technology-Dupont dataset [Color Res. Appl. 16, 297-316 (1991)] has been used to analyze the uniformity of seven color metrics, developed after CIELUV and CIELAB, with methods similar to those previously applied to several other classical datasets [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 9, 1247-1253 (1992)]. Significant performance improvements over CIELAB were found with several CIELAB-...

A color visual difference model (CVDM) was developed to predict the image quality difference of two images. The model is an extension of the two previously published models: The monochromatic Visible Difference Predictor (VDP) by Scott Daly and the color Spatial-CIELAB (SCIELAB) model by Zhang et al. The CVDM consists of color space conversion, modulation by contrast sensitivity functions, visu...

Traditional color spaces have been widely used in a variety of applications including digital color imaging, color image quality, and color management. These spaces, however, were designed for the domain of color stimuli typically encountered with reflecting objects and image displays of such objects. This means the domain of stimuli with luminance levels from slightly above zero to that of a p...

Color constancy is something we take for granted. An apple appears red despite monumental changes in the intensity and spectral balance of illumination. There are many components to human visual system that make this illusion possible. Nonetheless, imperfect. Objects will change apparent color under different The CIELAB space allows computation values any illuminant. will, general, as illuminan...

The sizes for the perceptible or acceptable color difference measured with instruments vary by factors such as instrument, material, and color-difference formula. To compensate for disagreement of the CIELAB color difference ( E*ab) with the human observer, the CIEDE2000 formula was developed. However, since this formula has no uniform color space (UCS), DIN99 UCS may be an alternative UCS at p...

Color gamut characterization is an essential step in the ICC profile generation for imaging devices. It is also needed as part of evaluation and comparison of image quality achievable by different imaging systems. A novel technique is presented for characterizing the color gamut of an imaging device via ray tracing in the CIELAB color space. Initially, the convex hull of the set of measurement ...

objective: propolis is a resinous material produced by honeybees that has recently gained fame as an antimicrobial agent. this study sought to assess the effects of propolis as an intra-canal medicament on tooth discoloration. the effect of its application technique on the degree of discoloration was investigated as well. methods: this experimental study was conducted on 40 intact anterior huma...

color match between fiber-reinforced composite (frc) restorations and teeth is an imperative factor in esthetic dentistry. the purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of veneering composites and fibers on the color change of frc restorations.glass and polyethylene fibers were used to reinforce a direct microhybrid composite (z250, 3m espe) and a microfilled composite (gradia indirect...

CIELAB is commonly used in design as it provides a simple method for approximating color difference. However, these approximations model color perception under laboratory conditions, with correctly calibrated displays and carefully constrained viewing environments that are not reflective of complexity of viewing conditions encountered in the real world. In this paper, we present a data-driven e...
