BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE A cross-polarized diffuse reflectance (CDR) color imaging system was developed for quantitative evaluation of port wine stain (PWS) response to laser therapy. To obtain calibrated Commission International de l'Eclairage (CIE) color space images from RGB (red, green, and blue) images, it was necessary to derive an optimized conversion matrix specific to our imaging syste...

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 ...

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...

A review of technical papers on the subject of the accuracy of RGB to CIELAB conversion is provided. In general, these papers concentrate on a single limiting factor, the spectral response of the camera. Even with the assumption that all other parts of the system contribute insignificantly to the error, the accuracy reported is still considerably worse than one would like from a color measureme...

A large scale psychophysical experiment was carried out to judge the perception of image quality of the photographic images. Two types of experiments, pair comparison and categorical judgment, were conducted for evaluating image difference and absolute quality respectively. Test images were generated by rendering the eight selected original images according to the change of lightness, chroma, c...
