Color transfer between images uses the statistics information of image effectively. We present a novel approach of local color transfer between images based on the simple statistics and locally linear embedding. A sketching interface is proposed for quickly and easily specifying the color correspondences between target and source image. The user can specify the correspondences of local region u...

Interest in the digital images has increased a lot over the last few years, but the process of locating a desired image in such a large and diverse image collection becomes very difficult. Traditionally text in different languages is used for efficient retrieval of images; it has several drawbacks such as language constraint and subjectivity of human perception. Content-based image retrieval is...

Our study deals with color synthesis of a three-dimensional object in an image; i.e., given a single image, a target color can be accurately mapped onto the object such that the color appearance of the synthesized object closely resembles that of the actual one. As it is almost impossible to acquire the complete geometric description of the surfaces of an object in an image, this study attempte...

Most of the color image processing algorithms do not consider the non-linearity of human vision, and the limitations of the human vision likecapability to discriminate between two similar colors and maximum number of colors human vision can respond to. In this paper, the nonlinearity and physiological limitations of human vision have been used for sampling the RGB color space. The large redunda...

In this paper we present a face detection algorithm for color images with complex background. We include color information into a face detection approach based on principal components analysis (PCA). A skin color probability image is generated by doing a color analysis and the PCA is performed on this new image instead of the luminance image. Experiments show that color information improves the...

Color features widely used in content-based image technologies for image indexing and retrieval are global, which means they are computed over the entire image. Since the features of partial images are included in those of other complete images, the major problem in partial image retrieval using a global feature is that the feature cannot be a discriminant for a small portion of an image. This ...

Chromatic aberration distortions such as wavelength-dependent blur are caused by imperfections in photographic lenses. These distortions are much more severe in the case of color and near-infrared joint acquisition, as a wider band of wavelengths is captured. In this paper, we consider a scenario where the color image is in focus, and the NIR image captured with the same lens and same focus set...

The use of local features has demonstrated its effectiveness for many visual applications. However, local features are often extracted with gray images. This ignores the useful information within different color channels which eventually hinders the final performance, especially for fine-grained image classification. Besides, the semantic information of local features is too weak to be applied ...

application of additives is one of the proper solutions in quality enhancement in bakery products such as gluten matrix promotion, softness and unity of the texture and delay in staling which are effectives on shelf life and marketability of the bread. so the aim of this study was to investigate the synergistic effect of datem, ssl and e471 as an emulsifier in level of 0.2% and 0.5% humectants ...

Construction progress monitoring has been recognized as one of the key elements that lead to the success of a construction project. The first requirement for effective progress monitoring is the collection and analysis of construction progress information. Through the use of image retrieval, progress information about structural components can be derived from the construction site image. In thi...
