Color Gamut Mapping based on Mahalanobis Distance for Color Reproduction of Electronic Endoscope Image under Different Illuminant
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a color difference is defined instead of the conventional color differences to evaluate gamut-mapping techniques for electronic endoscope images reproduced on CRT under environmental illuminant. This color difference is defined from Mahalanobis distance by using covariance matrices for differences of metric lightness, chroma and hue angle. The covariance matrices for endoscope images were obtained by psychophysical experiments. We compared the resultant matrices with those for natural scenes, and found the color difference was customized for the electronic endoscope images well.

A New Method for Color Gamut Mapping by Genetic Algorithm
To reproduce an image, it is necessary to map out of gamut colors of the image to destination gamut. It is clear that the best color gamut mapping introduces the perceptually closest image to the original one. In this study, a new color gamut mapping is purposed by the aid of Genetic Algorithm (GA). The color difference between the original and mapped images based on S-LAB formula was chosen as...
متن کاملColor Constancy by Derivative-based Gamut Mapping
Color constancy aims to compute object colors despite differences in the color of the light source. Gamut-based approaches are very promising methods to achieve color constancy. In this paper, the gamut mapping approach is extended to incorporate higher-order statistics (derivatives) to estimate the illuminant. A major problem of gamut mapping is that in case of a failure of the diagonal model ...
متن کاملIlluminant Aware Gamut-Based Color Transfer
This paper proposes a new approach for color transfer between two images. Our method is unique in its consideration of the scene illumination and the constraint that the mapped image must be within the color gamut of the target image. Specifically, our approach first performs a white-balance step on both images to remove color casts caused by different illuminations in the source and target ima...
متن کاملPerceptual color difference metric for complex images based on Mahalanobis distance
In this paper, a perceptual color difference is presented as an alternative color difference metric for complex images instead of the conventional color difference equations. This color difference is derived based on Mahalanobis distance by using covariance matrices for differences of each color attributes. The covariance matrices for each class of images can be obtained by psychophysical exper...
متن کاملSpatio-Spectral Gamut Mapping and Separation
Spectral printing aims to achieve an illuminant-invariant match between the original and the reproduction. Due to limited printer spectral gamuts, an errorless spectral reproduction is mostly impossible, and spectral gamut mapping is required to reduce perceptual errors. The recently proposed paramermismatch-based spectral gamut mapping (PMSGM) strategy minimizes such errors. However, due to it...
