Exploring and editing colors in images is a common task in graphic design and photography. However, allowing for interactive recoloring while preserving smooth color blends in the image remains a challenging problem. We present LayerBuilder, an algorithm that decomposes an image or video into a linear combination of colored layers to facilitate color-editing applications. These layers provide a...

Color has a profound effect on the perception of odors. For example, strawberry flavored drinks smell more pleasant when colored red than green and descriptions of the “nose” of a wine are dramatically influenced by its color. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) we demonstrate a neurophysiological correlate of these crossmodal visual influences on olfactory perception. Subjects w...

In color theory and perceptual practice, two color naming combinations are forbidden-reddish greens and bluish yellows-however, when multicolored images are stabilized on the retina, their borders fade and filling-in mechanisms can create forbidden colors. The sole report of such events found that only some observers saw forbidden colors, while others saw illusory multicolored patterns. We foun...

UNLABELLED This article reviews common methods for two-dimensional display of registered multimodality brain images and describes a software package for presentation of merged MRI and PET images that runs on a workstation with an eight-bit color display. The software package displays merged brain images from multiple modalities in a way that is readily manipulated, visually pleasing and easy to...

This paper presents a novel color face recognition algorithm by means of fusing color and local information. The proposed algorithm fuses the multiple features derived from different color spaces. Multiorientation and multiscale information relating to the color face features are extracted by applying Steerable Pyramid Transform (SPT) to the local face regions. In this paper, the new three hybr...

application of atoxigenic strains of aspergillus flavus to reduce aflatoxin levels is the most successful strategy applied in some agricultural crops. the role of ammonium hydroxide for preliminary screening of the competitiveness of atoxigenic a. flavus isolates to interfere with aflatoxin production by highly toxigenic isolates were evaluated. out of 270 a. flavus isolates, 17 were detected a...

Figures of Merit (FOMs) are presented that quantify the relative range, color-based contrast, and color fidelity of color image intensified (night vision) systems. These FOMs allow for objective comparisons of differing color camera systems and are particularly useful for designing and optimizing True-Color Image-Intensified (TC-I2) cameras and associated color mixing and image processing algor...

This research work is carried out within the framework of cognitive-discursive paradigm and devoted to analysis features semantics adjectives color in natural language identification translation problems that translators may face. Description units allows you reproduce how colors are understood Russian English worldview. The subject study peculiarities designation possible characterizing color:...
