Many color vision systems require a first step of classifying pixels in a given image into a discrete set of color classes. In this paper we describe a human perceptionbased approach to pixel color segmentation. Fuzzy sets are defined on the H, S and V components of the HSV color space and provide a fuzzy logic model that aims to follow the human intuition of color classification. Experiments s...

Color is one of the main visual cues and has been frequently used in image processing, analysis and retrieval. The extraction of highlevel color descriptors is an increasingly important problem, as these descriptions often provide link to image content. When combined with image segmentation color naming can be used to select objects by color, describe the appearance of the image and even genera...
