چکیده

Color quantization is wildly applied especially in the fields of computer graphics and image processing. After studying the solutions of color clustering, a new approach based on ant colony clustering algorithm applied in color image quantization is proposed in the paper. According to the picking up— dropping theory, a promoted ant algorithm is applied to group colors into certain clusters in RGB space. It finishes color quantization after colors mapping of every pixel. Our experiment shows that the algorithm proposed in this paper has rather good performance with excellent robustness, less time consumption, and simple realization .

کاهش رنگ تصاویر با شبکه‌های عصبی خودسامانده چندمرحله‌ای و ویژگی‌های افزونه

Reducing the number of colors in an image while preserving its quality, is of importance in many applications such as image analysis and compression. It also decreases memory and transmission bandwidth requirements. Moreover, classification of image colors is applicable in image segmentation and object detection and separation, as well as producing pseudo-color images. In this paper, the Kohene...

Split, Merge and Grouping : a New Approach for Color Image Quantization

Color image quantization has been widely studied for the last fteen years. In this paper we present a method to improve existing algorithms. Used with a uniform partition of the color space this method provides a fast and eecient quantization algorithm. Moreover the method provides an eecient way to control the time/quality ratio.

On Spatial Quantization of Color Images

Image quantization and digital halftoning, two fundamental image processing problems, are generally performed sequentially and, in most cases, independent of each other. Color reduction with a pixel-wise defined distortion measure and the halftoning process with its local averaging neighborhood typically optimize different quality criteria or, frequently, follow a heuristic approach without ref...

An Evolutionary Approach to Color Image Quantization

In order to visualize true color images on graphic displays with reduced color resolution, a color quantization process is required. Since color quantization is an NP-hard optimization problem, several suboptimal heuristic approaches, with quite di erent objectives and results, have been proposed. In this paper we present a new hybrid approach in which an evolutionary algorithm is combined with...

A Hybrid Approach for Color Image Quantization Using K-means and Firefly Algorithms

Color Image quantization (CQ) is an important problem in computer graphics, image and processing. The aim of quantization is to reduce colors in an image with minimum distortion. Clustering is a widely used technique for color quantization; all colors in an image are grouped to small clusters. In this paper, we proposed a new hybrid approach for color quantization using firefly algorithm (FA) a...
