abstract this study was carried out in japan for evaluation of the relationship between phenolic compounds and skin color indices of 3 apples cultivars including ‘fuji’, ‘jonathan’ and ‘jonagold’, in 2006. in ‘jonathan’, l* (lightness) increased with decreasing red color of skin. in ‘jonagold’, chroma increased with increasing red color. but in ‘fuji’, there was no detectable difference between...

Our contribution relates to lossless compression of pseudo color images (images with a palette). The proposed method is a preprocessing step preceeding actual compression. Indices in the palette are semioptimally permuted during preprocessing. For actual image compression, our own nonlinear predictor based method is used 1 but the proposed invisible palette modiication is relevant to most of ot...

Color is one of the most powerful aspects of a psychological counseling environment. Little scientific research has been conducted on color design and much of the existing literature is based on observational studies. Using design of experiments and response surface methodology, this paper proposes an optimal color design approach for transforming patients' perception into color elements. Six i...

A technique to retrieve images by region matching using a combined feature index based on color, shape, and location is presented within the framework of MPEG-7. Dominant regions within each image are indexed using integrated color, shape, and location features. Various combinations of regions are also indexed. The resulting indices and related metadata are stored in a Hash structure, where sim...

In this paper we address the issue of image database retrieval based on color using various vector distance metrics. Our system is based on color segmentation where only a few representative color vectors are extracted from each image and used as image indices. These vectors are then used with vector distance measures to determine similarity between a query color and a database image. We test n...

Robust watermarking with oblivious detection is essential to practical copyright protection of digital images. Effective exploitation of the characteristics of human visual perception to color stimuli helps to develop the watermarking scheme that fills the requirement. In this paper, an oblivious watermarking scheme that embeds color watermarks in color images is proposed. Through color gamut a...

The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect variation in number and diversity colors, coat pattern, skin color its on longevity etnological indices local goats from Northern Mexico. Two hundred fifty-one adult were chosen. aforementioned variables recorded addition age, live weight (LW), body condition (BC), fifteen zoometric traits. Seventeen calculated. group with two colors different...

PURPOSE Discovery and description of heritable optic nerve head (ONH) phenotypes have been haphazard. In this preliminary study, the authors test the hypothesis that inheritable phenotypes can be discovered and quantified computationally by estimating three-dimensional ONH shape parameters from stereo color photographs from the Twins Eye Study in Tasmania and determining how much of the variabi...
