The analysis of color image sequence is very heavy if the analysis is carried out for each image. But, in many practical cases, there is no need to know the precise motion and shape. In other words, the rough estimation of motion and shape is sometimes practically enough to understand image sequence. To achieve this rough estimation of motion and shape speedily, a method using color multiplex i...

introduction: there has been an increasing interest in studies dealing with the relationship between mental disorders and color preference. this study was tailored to evaluate color preference or rejection in schizophrenic and normal subjects. materials and method: color preference and rejection of 58 patients with dsm-iv diagnosis of schizophrenia were compared with those of 52 normal subjects...

among the different classes of physical properties of foods, color is considered the most important visual attribute in quality perception. consumers tend to associate color with quality due to its good correlation with physical, chemical and sensorial evaluations of food quality. this study used an inexpensive method to predict sweet cherries color parameters by combining image processing and ...

In image search based on chromatic similarity, the e.ectiveness of retrieval can be improved by taking into account the spatial arrangement of colors. This can serve both to distinguish images with the same colors in di.erent arrangement, and to capture the similarity between images with di.erent colors but similar arrangements. We propose a model of representation and comparison which attains ...

This paper proposes an algorithm to extract a target region from a color image. The algorithm utilizes the active net for stable target extraction. In order t o extend the original active net for color image analysis, the image energy function of the net is defined by the function, called the Ratio Histogram, of the histogram backprojection method. Since ratio histogram is computed from both co...

Amethod for transforming an image s 3D colour histogram to make it accurately match a predetermined target state is described here. This method involves colour quantisation, clustering and the EMD histogram difference metric to provide a transformation LUT between original and target histograms. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

A research presentation integrates slides and speech. If these two aspects do not represent the same intention, the presentation will probably fail to effectively explain the presenter’s intention. This paper focuses on the representation of the critical contents in a presentation. In an effective speech, the speaker adds more intonation and stress to emphasize the importance of the slide conte...
