In many applications of color technology such as spectral color reproduction it is of interest to represent the spectral data with lower dimensions than spectral space’s dimensions. It is more than half of a century that Principal Component Analysis PCA method has been applied to find the number of independent basis vectors of spectral dataset and representing spectral reflectance with lower di...

In this chapter, we propose a pixel adjustment procedure for digital watermarking methods using uniform color space. Many digital watermarking methods use uniform color space due to the convenience of controlling image quality (Yoshiura & Echizen, 2006). However, there is the problem that watermarked RGB integer pixel values in such methods are not quite corresponding to the watermarked real-nu...

Precipitation ofsolid paraffins is one ofthe most common problems in the oil industry, imposing high operating costs. There have been a great many efforts for the prediction <span style="font-size: 10p...

The comparison of color histograms is one of the most widely used techniques for Content-Based Image Retrieval. Before establishing a color histogram in a defined model (RGB, HSV or others), a process of quantization is often used to reduce the number of used colors. In this paper, we present the results of an experimental investigation studying the impact of this process on the accuracy of res...

In synesthesia, certain stimuli ("inducers") may give rise to perceptual experience in additional modalities not normally associated with them ("concurrent"). For example, color-grapheme synesthetes automatically perceive achromatic numbers as colored (e.g., 7 is turquoise). Although synesthetes know when a given color matches the one evoked by a certain number, colors do not automatically give...

We investigate the SM Higgs decays into heavy quarkonia J/ψ and Υ in both color-singlet and color-octet mechanisms. It is found that in J/ψ production the contribution through color-octet processes overwhelm that in color-singlet processes all the intermediate region MZ < MH0 < 2Mw and the fraction ratio is comparatively large, but in Υ production the contribution through color-octet mechanism ...

In this paper, we survey some of the results and open questions regarding colorings of infinite graphs. We first introduce terminology to describe finite and infinite colorings, then offer a proof of the De Bruijn-Erdős Theorem, one of the primary tool for studying the chromatic number of infinite graphs. We show how the De Bruijn-Erdős Theorem allows us to extend results of finite graphs of ar...

The automated defect detection of jacquard fabrics is intuitively appealing to the textile industry but as yet there has been little in-depth research in this field. In this paper, we introduce a defect detection method for use on jacquard fabrics that is based on multiple color-channel analysis. According to the number of color yarns employed, a number of color channels can be extracted from a...

In pseudoisochromatic stimuli the presence of spatial and luminance noise forces the subject to discriminate the target from the background solely on the basis of chromaticity difference. Color-blind subjects may show difficulty to identify the target due to the elimination of borders and brightness clues caused by the luminance and spatial noise. Few studies have fully described the features o...
