Color features are among the most important features used in image database retrieval, especially in cases where no additional semantic information is available. Due to its compact representation and low complexity, direct histogram comparison is the most commonly used technique in comparing color similarity of images. However, it has many serious drawbacks, including a high degree of dependenc...

The proposed algorithm suggests a new method for determination of K/S value of primaries based on linear least Squares Technique. By applying the matrix pseudoinverse, a modification is introduced to eliminate the limitation on the numbers of applied dyes in one – constant Kubelka-Munk theory. The selection of dyes for tristimulus matching are also done on the basis of the initial spectrophotom...

Using a novel paradigm to engage the long-term mappings between object names and the prototypical colors for objects, we investigated the retrieval of object-color knowledge as indexed by long-term priming (the benefit in performance from a prior encounter with the same or a similar stimulus); a process about which little is known. We examined priming from object naming on a lexical-semantic ma...

Hung-Shing Chen Shih-Han Chen Abstract — Owing to the fast developments of computer networks and color imaging technologies, there is a tendency towards remote proofing in the printing or textile industries. More cases such as cross-display color matching will occur in the future information society. The problems of color mismatching we usually find in cross-display devices have been widely dis...

This article presents methods for estimating Munsell reflectance spectra, measured physically with a spectrophotometer, from psychophysically derived color-matching functions. The method is general and may also be used to estimate the reflectance spectra from human cone photoreceptor sensitivities. The color-matching functions and the cone sensitivities were found to contain almost identical in...

By far, many stereo-matching techniques have been successfully proposed and applied in digital aerial photogrammetry. However, due to some problems such as large parallaxes, occlusions, geometric deformations, and repetitive patterns in convergent close range images, these methods may not be applicable to the same level of success as that of aerial imagery. In order to overcome these shortcomin...

Models of stereoscopic depth perception for both natural and random-dot images have focused mainly on the matching of achromatic features of binocular images. Recently, a growing body of research has investigated whether chromatic features can also contribute to the construction of stereoscopic depth. Here we present experiments yielding color-contingent depth aftereffects comparable in magnitu...

Estimating individual cone sensitivities on the basis of their corresponding individual color matching functions is a classic problem of color vision. To solve the problem one has, in effect, to postulate constraints on the shape of the cone sensitivities. For example, Logvinenko applied a linear matching method (originally proposed by Bongard and Smirnov [4]) which excludes all but one primary...
