Evaluating colour image difference metrics for gamut-mapped images
نویسندگان
چکیده
The quality of several colour image difference metrics, pixelwise CIELAB DEab, S-CIELAB, iCAM, Structural Similarity Index, Universal Image Quality and the hue-angle algorithm, have been investigated. These results were compared with the results from a psychophysical experiment in which the perceptual image difference was evaluated. Six original images were reproduced using six different colour gamutmapping algorithms. The results of our experiment indicate that perceptual image difference cannot be directly related to colour image difference calculated by current metrics. Therefore, it is currently not possible to evaluate colour gamut mapping quality using colour image difference metrics.

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 کاملPerformance of the Difference of Gaussians Model in Image Difference Metrics
We propose two novel image difference metrics using an extension of the S-CIELAB framework, which are based on the Difference of Gaussians model. The first metric uses the Difference of Gaussians model as a basis for the spatial filtering with the ∆E ab as a color difference formula, while the second uses the same model in association with the ∆EE color difference formula. A dataset with 20 gam...
متن کاملComparison of Colour Difference Methods for Natural Images
Perceptual colour difference in simple colour patches has been extensively studied in the history of colour science. However, these methods are not assumed to be applicable for predicting the perceived colour difference in complex colour patches such as digital images of complex scene. In this work existing metrics that predict the perceived colour difference in digital images of complex scene...
متن کاملColor by Numbers - Quantifying the Quality of Color Reproduction
Quantifying the perceptual difference between original and reproduced (and inevitably modified) color images is currently a key research challenge in the field of color imaging. Such information can be extremely valuable for instance in the development of new equipment and algorithms for color reproduction. While in many research areas it is common practice to obtain quantitative quality inform...
متن کاملEnhancing the SGCK Colour Gamut Mapping Algorithm
The SGCK gamut mapping algorithm suggested by CIE TC8-03 has been enhanced by introducing a two-step procedure. Firstly, SGCK is used for gamut mapping the image onto a convex hull representation of the reproduction gamut. The resulting image is then further mapped onto a more realistic representation of the reproduction gamut using hue-angle preserving minimum ∆E∗ ab clipping. Panel testing wi...
