Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Merlot grapes were processed with prefermentative cold soak (CS) for 5 days followed by a short maceration time of (CS + 5d), or long 10 10d). CS did not affect the basic chemistry wines, nor improved anthocyanins, polymeric pigments total phenolics relative to Control wines (10 maceration). Wine tannins lowered in 5d 71 % (Cabernet Sauvignon) 29 (Merlot). CIELab ...

We propose a numerical method to determine a transformation of a color space into a hue linear color space with a maximum degree of perceptual uniformity. In a first step, a transformation of the initial color space into a nearly perceptually uniform space is computed using multigrid optimization. In a second step, a hue correction is applied to the resulting color space while preserving the pe...

The most used full reference image quality assessments are error-based methods. Thus, these measures are performed by pixel based difference metrics like Delta E ( E), MSE, PSNR, etc. Therefore, a local fidelity of the color is defined. However, these metrics does not correlate well with the perceived image quality. Indeed, they omit the properties of the HVS. Thus, they cannot be a reliable pr...

Ten colour emotional scales, namely, "Warm Cool", "Active-Passive", "Like-Dislike", "Clean-Dirty", "Fresh-Stale", "Modern-Classical", "Heavy-Light", "Hard- Soft", "Tense-Relaxed", and "Masculine-Feminine"are investigated for single-colour stimuli in CIELAB colour space within a psychophysical experiment by forty observers. The relationships between Iranian colour emotional responses and CIELAB ...

We propose a complete methodology for the control of the color responses of the input/output devices for color facsimile. An initial calibration of both scanner and printer is done offline. The color response of each device is then modelized by 3D non-linear transformations linking their specific RGB/YMC color space with the standard CIELAB color space. These transformations are then quickly ca...

Dispoto, Eric Hoarau, I-Jong Lin, Jun Zeng HP Laboratories HPL-2010-144 printing, digital printing, commercial printing, commercial print automation, workflow Before ICC profiles, a device-independent page description document would encode all color in a device independent CIE space like CIELAB. When the document was t...

The evaluation of visual quality of color images has become very important and challenging task due to explosion of multimedia and graphics content on internet. An image exhibits loss in color information due to introduction of noise, blur, blocking artefacts, channel distortion and also during lossy compression. The primary goal of Image Quality Metric (IQM) is to measure emergence of such dis...

The main objective of this work was to test the performance of major formulas for assessment of small suprathreshold color differences in the blue region. The models examined include CIELAB color space based equations, including CIELAB, CIE94, CIEDE2000, CMC (l:c), BFD (l:c), and formulas based on more uniform color spaces, such as DIN99d, CAM02-SCD, CAM02-UCS, OSA-GP, and OSA-Eu in comparison ...
