in this paper, the performance of 11 different distances for image retrieval and classification, based on color, shape and texture, is evaluated. the precision-recall measure and the correct classification rate of the k-nn classifier are used to evaluate retrieval and classification performances, respectively. the experimental results for a database of 1000 images from 10 different semantic gro...

The objectives of this study were to investigate color patterns of shell and mantle edge pigmentation of a Pacific oyster, C. gigas, and to estimate variance components of the two colors. A sample of 240 F0 oysters was collected from six aquaculture farms in Tongyeong, Korea to measure shell color and mantle edge pigmentation. Among the F0s, male and female individuals with black (white) shell ...

We describe a new color edge detection scheme and a related diffusion process based on hyperbolic coordinates in color space. We derive intensity, hue and saturation based edge detectors and show that the intensity and hue based diffusion processes are governed by the heat equation familiar from conventional scale space theory. A qualitatively new differential equation is derived for the satura...

Edge detection has been a popular practice in image processing and computer vision applications. Many image processing applications require the discovery of edge details in the gray or color images as a beginning stage of an image processing, vision and understanding. Generally, edge detection on grayscale images is not affluent enough to explain intensity changes. Therefore, we can use color e...

Segmentation based on color, instead of intensity only, provides an easier distinction between materials, on the condition that robustness against irrelevant parameters is achieved, such as illumination source, shadows, geometry and camera sensitivities. Modeling the physical process of the image formation provides insight into the effect of different parameters on object color. In this paper, ...

In color TV broadcasting standards, such as NTSC and PAL, the limited bandwidth of the chrominance signals produces relatively slow chrominance transitions, causing smeared color edges in the received images. In this paper, we present an adaptive color transient improvement algorithm for enhancing color edge transition of images. By using a local image feature dependent gain control function to...

An interval edge t-coloring of a graph G is a proper edge coloring of G with colors 1,2...,t such that at least one edge of G is colored by color i,i=1,2...,t, and the edges incident with each vertex x are colored by d_{G}(x) consecutive colors, where d_{G}(x) is the degree of the vertex x in G. For Mobius ladders the existence of this coloring is proved and all possible numbers of colors in su...

A method is proposed whereby a color image is treated as a vector field and the edge information carried directly by the vectors is exploited. A class of color edge detectors is defined as the minimum over the magnitudes of linear combinations of the sorted vector samples. From this class, a specific edge detector is obtained and its performance characteristics studied. Results of a quantitativ...

In this paper, we present an edge detection approach in color image using neighborhood hypergraph. The edge structure is detected by a structural model. The Color Image Neighborhood Hypergraph (CINH) representation is first computed using a perceptual color distance, then the hyperedges of CINH are classified into noise, edge or others based on hypergraph properties. To evaluate the algorithm p...
