Complete with full-color illustrations and two applications chapters, Digital Color Image Processing is the only book that covers the breadth of the subject under one convenient cover. It is written at a level that is accessible for first- and second-year graduate students in electrical and computer engineering and computer science courses, and that is also appropriate for researchers who wish to extend their knowledge in the area of color image processing.
Download or read book Color Medical Image Analysis written by M. Emre Celebi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-16 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 20th century, medical imaging has been dominated by monochrome imaging modalities such as x-ray, computed tomography, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging. As a result, color information has been overlooked in medical image analysis applications. Recently, various medical imaging modalities that involve color information have been introduced. These include cervicography, dermoscopy, fundus photography, gastrointestinal endoscopy, microscopy, and wound photography. However, in comparison to monochrome images, the analysis of color images is a relatively unexplored area. The multivariate nature of color image data presents new challenges for researchers and practitioners as the numerous methods developed for monochrome images are often not directly applicable to multichannel images. The goal of this volume is to summarize the state-of-the-art in the utilization of color information in medical image analysis.

Download or read book Color Space written by Fouad Sabry and published by One Billion Knowledgeable. This book was released on 2024-05-10 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Color Space A color space is a particular arrangement of colors in a given space. In conjunction with color profiling, which is supported by a variety of physical devices, it is capable of supporting repeatable representations of color, regardless of whether such representations involve an analog or a digital representation. It is possible for a color space to be arbitrary, in which case the colors that are physically realized are allocated to a set of physical color swatches that have matching color names, or it can be structured with mathematical precision. The concept of a "color space" is a helpful conceptual tool that may be utilized to gain a knowledge of the color capabilities of a certain digital file or device. In the process of attempting to replicate color on a different device, color spaces can indicate whether or not shadow/highlight detail and color saturation can be preserved, as well as the degree to which either of these aspects will be diminished.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Color Matching Function The color spaces designated by the CIE in 1931 are the first quantitative relationships that have been delineated between the distributions of wavelengths in the electromagnetic visible spectrum and the colors that are physiologically seen by humans in their color vision. When it comes to color management, the mathematical relationships that define these color spaces are key tools. This is especially true when working with color inks, lighted displays, and recording devices like digital cameras. In 1931, the "Commission Internationale de l'éclairage," which is translated into English as the International Commission on Illumination, was the organization that was responsible for designing the system.

Download or read book Illumination and Color in Computer Generated Imagery written by Roy Hall and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a very broad sense the historical development of computer graphics can be considered in three phases, each a giant step down the road towards "realistic" computer generated images. The first, during the late 1960's and early 1970's, can perhaps be characterized as the "wire frame" era. Basically pictures were composed of lines. Considerable em phasis was placed on "real time" interactive manipulation of the model. As models became more complex and as raster technology developed, eliminating the hidden lines or hidden surfaces from the image became critical for visual understanding. This requirement resulted in the second phase of computer graphics, the "hidden surface" era, that developed during the 1970's and early 1980's. The names associated with hidden surface algorithms read like a who's who of computer graphics. The cul mination of the hidden surface era and the beginning of the current and third era in computer graphics, the "rendering" era, was Turner Whitted's incorporation of a global illumination model into the ray trac ing algorithm. Now the goal was not just to generate an image, but to generate a realistic appearing image.

Download or read book Color Profile written by Fouad Sabry and published by One Billion Knowledgeable. This book was released on 2024-04-30 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Color Profile A set of data that, according to the standards that have been adopted by the International Color Consortium (ICC), characterizes a color input or output device or a color space is referred to as an ICC profile. This profile is the basis for color management. By providing a mapping between the device source or target color space and a profile connection space (PCS), profiles are able to provide a description of the color characteristics that are associated with a certain device or viewing requirement. Either CIELAB (L*a*b*) or CIEXYZ is considered to be this PCS. There are two ways to specify mappings: either through the use of tables, which are then subjected to interpolation, or by a sequence of parameters concerning transformations. How you will benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: ICC profile Chapter 2: Color management Chapter 3: RGB color model Chapter 4: CMYK color model Chapter 5: CIELAB color space Chapter 6: Adobe RGB color space Chapter 7: Color space Chapter 8: Prepress Chapter 9: JPEG File Interchange Format Chapter 10: TIFF (II) Answering the public top questions about color profile.
