This paper presents a system that helps users by suggesting appropriate colors for inserting text and symbols into an image. The color distribution in the image regions surrounding the annotation area determines the colors that make a good choice – i.e. capture a viewer’s attention, while remaining legible. Each point in the color-space is assigned a distance-map value, where colors with higher...

One example of color constancy is color transparency: when a surface is seen both in plain view and through a transparent overlay, the visual system still identifies it as a single surface. Previous studies suggest that color changes across a region of an image that can be described as translations and/or convergences in a linear trichromatic color space lead to the perception of transparency, ...

The correction of the effects of color-weakness is difficult if not impossible. One of the reasons is that are no objective criterions available to evaluate corrections since it is difficult to quantify the color perception of an individual. Also the degree and the character of color-weakness vary widely among individuals and different color stimuli. In this paper, we use Riemann geometry to co...

This paper presents a surveillance system that detects and recognizes people in indoor scenes. To distinguish between different people, color histograms on a perceptually uniform color space are used. The goal here is to associate a sequence showing a person leaving a room with the previously recorded sequence showing that same person entering.

This paper introduce an equation to convert from RGB to RYB and the inverse conversion equation as a model of RYB color space. Proposal RYB color model allows paint like compositing easily without complex configuration of parameters such as Kubelka-Munk model. Keywords— RYB; Color; Compositing; Mixing

Until recently I have always used L*a*b* as a very convenient tool to transform color data into a sensible isotropic color space. Since isotropic spaces are uniform in all directions, the space performed the difficult task of making sure that differences in hue, lightness and chroma were all taken into account and that any pair of equal distances between two colors, regardless of their location...
