In this paper, we present a new and effective color image retrieval scheme for combining all the three i.e. color, texture and shape information, which achieved higher retrieval efficiency. Firstly, the image is predetermined by using fast color quantization algorithm with clusters merging, and then a small number of dominant colors and their percentages can be obtained. Secondly, the spatial t...

In Computer Vision, the sky color is used for lighting correction, image color enhancement, horizon alignment, image indexing, and outdoor image classification and in many other applications. In this article, for robust color based sky segmentation and detection, usage of lighting correction for sky color detection is investigated. As such, the impact of color constancy on sky color detection a...

Reducing noise from the color images is a very active research scope in image processing. In this paper, a modified fuzzy based image filtering algorithm is proposed for reducing impulse noise. This paper presents a new fuzzy filter for the removal Impulse noise in color images. For dealing with the Impulse noise, an algorithm is developed to search for a set of uncorrupted pixels in the neighb...

Digital image sensor outputs usually must be transformed to suit the human visual system. This color correction amplifies noise, thus reducing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the image. In subdiffraction-limit (SDL) pixels, where optical and carrier cross talk can be substantial, this problem can become significant when conventional color filter arrays (CFAs) such as the Bayer patterns (RGB ...

We present techniques for spectral image acquisition. The spectral domain of the images is represented by a lowdimensional component image set, which is used to obtain an efficient compression of the high-dimensional spectral data. First, computational techniques to design color filters with a constraint of positive spectral values is described. Then, we present two prototypes of our spectral i...

In computer vision, measurement of image properties such as color or texture is essential. In this paper, we propose a solid framework for the local measurement of texture in color images. We give a physical basis for the integration of the well-known Gabor filters with the measurement of color. Our method implies that the colortexture is measured in the wavelength-Fourier domain. The measureme...
