Nowadays, although an increased number of people tend to use high-quality images for their daily activities, there are some applications where it is useful to have a reduced number of colors in our images. In this article, a color reduction approach is presented based on Cellular Automata (CA). More specifically, we exploit the inherent properties of CA, in order to locally detect the dominant ...

We present a method for frame coherent texturing and hatching of 3D models with a discrete set of colors. Our technique is inspired by various artistic styles that use a limited set of colors to convey surface shape and texture. In previous research discrete color shading was produced by modifying smooth shading with a threshold function. We extend this approach and specify threshold values wit...

This paper presents a system that helps users by suggesting appropriate colors for inserting text and symbols into an image. The color distribution in the image regions surrounding the annotation area determines the colors that make a good choice – i.e. capture a viewer’s attention, while remaining legible. Each point in the color-space is assigned a distance-map value, where colors with higher...

Identification of linear parameter-varying systems in an input-output setting is investigated, focusing on the case when the noise part of the data generating system is an additive colored noise. In the Box-Jenkins and output-error cases, it is shown that the currently available linear regression and instrumental variable methods from the literature are far from being optimal in terms of bias a...

This paper describes a physiologically based toxicokinetic model for 1,3-butadiene uptake, distribution, and metabolic clearance in mice. Model parameters for metabolic activity were estimated from the correspondence between computer simulation studies and experimental results as published in the literature. The parameterized model was validated with independent literature data. With the result...

colors influence mood and mental state of human beings and since manis constantly in touch with colors, great important will be attached to thecolors. exercise is also associated with different colors and is performed inan environment full of different colors. also, one of the important factorsaffecting athletes' success is response to the stimulus. considering theimportance of color and r...
