Optimal Transform in Perceptually Uniform Color Space and Its Application in Image Coding
نویسندگان
چکیده
To find an appropriate color transform is necessary and helpful for the applications of color images. In this paper, we proposed a new scheme to find color transforms close to the optimal transform and agree with human vision system for comparison. We first apply the perceptually uniform color space transform to convert RGB components into uniform CIE LAB components, and then use principal components analysis (PCA) in the uniform space to find the image-dependent optimal color transforms (KLT) for each test image group and for all the images in all the groups. With the KLTs, an approximate but image-independent transform in CIE LAB space is presented, namely LAR, which is just the LAB space rotated and has an elegant and simple form. Finally, we apply it to image compression, and our experiment shows that LAR performs better (PSNR about 4dB higher) than the default color transform in JPEG 2000.

Fractal Color Compression in the L*a*b* Uniform Color Space
We present comparative results obtained in the context of 24-bit true color image encoding by using searchless vs. search-based fractal compression techniques in a perceptually uniform color space. A pixel in the color space is represented as a vector with each component corresponding to a color channel. The least squares approximation of an image block by an Iterated Function System (IFS) is a...
متن کاملPerceptually Optimal Image Coding Based on Human Visual System Characteristics and Uniform Color Space
Aim of this work is to envisage an image coding technique capable to deliver a perceptually optimal output to be fed into a traditional loss-less compression algorithm such as Portable Network Graphics. The main advantage of this two steps compression method, over lossy compression algorithms such as JPG, is that the amount of information that is discarded can be trimmed in order to meet the re...

* * * b a L is a perceptually uniform color space and HSV approximately perceptually uniform space for representing color. But commonly used color space is RGB, which is not perceptually uniform. In this work we compare these three-color spaces for rotation invariant color texture classification. The inclusion of color aspects of texture in image processing is increasing rapidly. Gabor wavelets...

A new wavelet image coding algorithm was designed for color image compression in this paper. This algorithm utilizes multiary symbol set to represent the meaningful coefficients in the wavelet transform domain which are necessary for the image reconstruction in the respective color channel. The scheme works first by color space conversion, followed by raster scanning the individual subband for ...
متن کاملAn Analytical Approach for Sampling the RGB Color Space Considering Physiological Limitations of Human Vision and its Application for Color Image Analysis
Most of the color image processing algorithms do not consider the non-linearity of human vision, and the limitations of the human vision likecapability to discriminate between two similar colors and maximum number of colors human vision can respond to. In this paper, the nonlinearity and physiological limitations of human vision have been used for sampling the RGB color space. The large redunda...
