In most of the initial applications of digital TV telemetry the video source signal is monochrome (typically RS-170 standard). However color TV is now employed extensively in many of the government test ranges, and it is likely that it will be required to digitally transmit the NTSC color TV signal for security and other reasons. It is also likely that the bit rates which will be employed for t...

BACKGROUND Extracting features from the colonoscopic images is essential for getting the features, which characterizes the properties of the colon. The features are employed in the computer-assisted diagnosis of colonoscopic images to assist the physician in detecting the colon status. METHODS Endoscopic images contain rich texture and color information. Novel schemes are developed to extract...

This paper proposes a content-based image retrieval (CBIR) method based on color histograms and the discrete cosine transform (DCT). Color histogram characterizes an image by its color distribution, but the drawback of a global histogram representation is that spatial information (such as object location, shape, and texture) is discarded. In our approach, each image is first transformed into th...

This paper describes a method of estimating the color vectors of the body and the interface reflection component of glossy woven fabrics based on the color histogram analysis of a local region. We choose the homogenous colored polyester satin as objective glossy fabrics. We fix woven fabrics on the surface of a side of cylinder and acquire images, which consist of both regions with highlights a...

The Joint Photographic Experts Group's image compression algorithm has been shown to be a very efficient and powerful method of compressing images. However, there is litde substantive information about which color space should be utilized when implementing the JPEG algorithm. Currendy, the JPEG algorithm is set up for use with any three component color space. The objective of this research was ...

We investigated whether the absence of one item in a regularly spaced visual array (gap cue) captures attention in a task-set-independent fashion. Participants searched for a large target among medium-size distractors (size task) or a red target among gray distractors (color task). Target arrays were preceded by uninformative cue arrays that contained a color singleton or a gap cue. The N2pc co...

The use of color in image processing is motivated by two principal factors; First color is a powerful descriptor that often simplifies object identification and extraction from a scene. Second, human can discern thousands of color shades and intensities, compared to about only two dozen shades of gray. In RGB model, each color appears in its primary spectral components of red, green and blue. T...

This paper presents a novel approach for earmarking retinal changes in a sequence of digital color fundus photographs, using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and a temporal color-coded scheme so as to improve the representation of the global effect of these changes — its aim is to assist graders in detecting alterations on digital color photographic follow-up time-sequences of the human retin...

The color correction is needed because the spectral sensitivity of the CMOS image sensor (CIS) in each color is neither the same color component for most standard colors nor the appropriate color representation for any output devices. In the conventional method, a color correction is empirically obtained by a large number of iterative experiments, but the result is not so satisfied. In this pap...

Grapheme-color synesthesia is a unique neurological condition in which affected individuals report experiencing strong and consistent associations between specific colors and graphemes (letters or numbers). The current study used electroencephalography (EEG) neuroimaging techniques to address two primary research questions: 1. Does the brain activity of grapheme-color synesthetes reflect the ne...
