Color theme or color palette can deeply influence the quality and the feeling of a photograph or a graphical design. Although color palettes may come from different sources such as online crowd-sourcing, photographs and graphical designs, in this paper, we consider color palettes extracted from fine art collections, which we believe to be an abundant source of stylistic and unique color themes....

I propose a model for predicting the total reflectance of color halftones printed on paper incorporating fluorescent brighteners. The total reflectance is modeled as the additive superposition of the relative fluorescent emission and the pure reflectance of the color print. The fluorescent emission prediction model accounts for both the attenuation of light by the halftone within the excitation...

Infants show spontaneous looking preferences among isoluminant chromatic stimuli [Adams, R. J. (1987). An evaluation of color preferences in early infancy. Infant Behavior and Development, 10, 143-150; Bornstein, M. H. (1975). Qualities of color vision in infancy. Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, 19 (3), 401-419.]. These differences in preference have often been called "hue" or "color...

A stereo similarity function based on local multi-model monogenic image feature descriptors LMFD is proposed to match interest points and estimate disparity map for stereo images. Local multi-model monogenic image features include local orientation and instantaneous phase of the gray monogenic signal, local color phase of the color monogenic signal, and local mean colors in the multiscale color...

Color features are among the most important features used in image database retrieval. Due to its compact representation and low complexity, direct histogram comparison is the most commonly used technique in measuring color similarity of images. However, it has many serious drawbacks, including a high degree of dependency on color codebook design, sensitivity to quantization boundaries, and ine...

Abstract The perceived color interactions between geometrical objects presented on a computer screen were investigated. Colors of small patches with a colored background were used. Six observation colors and three interaction colors for each observed color were presented to ten observers, who performed a matching task. The object with a color assumed to interact with its background was compared...

We use measurements of the projected galaxy correlation function wp(rp) and galaxy void statistics to test whether the galaxy content of halos of fixed mass is systematically different in low density environments. We present new measurements of the void probability function (VPF) and underdensity probability function (UPF) from Data Release Four of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), as well a...

PURPOSE To measure the optical density of the crystalline lens and macular pigments in a group of patients with diabetes mellitus and compare the results with those in a group of control subjects. METHODS Color matches were performed using a Wright tristimulus colorimeter. The reference wavelength used was 490 nm, desaturated with 650 nm. Lens optical density was measured by mixing spectral p...
