We tested the color selectivity of neurons in the inferior temporal (IT) cortex of two awake macaque monkeys. A color stimulus was presented at the center of the visual field while the animal performed a fixation task. The responses of single units to various colors were recorded and were plotted in a color space. The color space was based on the CIE (Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage) c...

Thresholds for detecting changes in color are raised following viewing a field sinusoidally modulated in color over time. This effect is highly selective. For example, thresholds for detecting reddish and greenish changes from white are raised following viewing a field varying in a reddish-greenish direction, but not after viewing one varying in a yellowish-bluish direction. Similarly threshold...

HP and Microsoft propose the addition of support for a standard color space, sRGB, within the Microsoft OS’s, HP products and the Internet. The aim of this color space is to complement the current color management strategies by enabling a third method of handling color in the OS’s and the Internet that utilizes a simple and robust device independent color definition that will provide good quali...

The color of pixels can be represented in different color spaces which respect different properties. Many authors have compared the classification performances reached by these color spaces in order to determine the one which would be the well suited to color texture analysis. However, the synthesis of these works shows that the choice of the color space depends on the considered texture images...

Detecting faces in cluttered backgrounds and real world has remained as an unsolved problem yet. In this paper, by using composition of some kind of independent features and one of the most common appearance based approaches, and multilayered perceptron (MLP) neural networks, not only some questions have been answered, but also the designed system achieved better performance rather than the pre...

gamut mapping, retinex algorithm, calculus of variations, robust reconstruction Gamut mapping is a method to modify a representation of a color image to fit into a constrained color space of a given rendering medium. A laser-jet color printer that attempts to reproduce a color image on a regular paper would have to map the photographed picture colors in a given color range, also known as the im...

A unique color space segmentation method is introduced. It is founded on features of human cognition, where 11 color categories are used in processing color. In two experiments, human subjects were asked to categorize color stimuli into these 11 color categories, which resulted in markers for a Color LookUp Table (CLUT). These CLUT markers are projected on two 2D projections of the HSI color sp...

HIS color space is based on the visual features of our eyes, and uses tone, brightness, saturation to manifest the color. While conducting edge detection on color images, in order to get better effects and consistent with human visual perception, a novel HIS-like color space is defined and it is obtained in the process of the improving HIS color model. Edge detection has been made on image whic...

Color space conversion has become a very important role in the image acquisition, display and the transmission of the color information in the replication. Printers and Image setter express color by CMYK space. But if color is edited and corrected in the CMYK space, it will cause a greater loss of color, and the Computing of computer will also be slowed down. So it often needs to be converted t...

In t,his paper we compared color space models l,ased on hrunan color perception. For this purpose, we made t.wo experinlents to see how human suh-ject,s classify color pixels in color ima.ges. In the first. experiment, subject,^ classify color pixels without seeing the ima.ge. In the second experiment, the subjects segment the images int.0 regions considered t,o I' e of similar colors, seeing t...
