En este trabajo dos nuevos espacios de color se describen para especificación de colores y procesamiento de imágenes utilizando la forma cilíndrica del espacio de color YIQ. Los espacios de colores clásicos tales como HSL y HSV no toman en cuenta la visión humana y son perceptualmente inexactos. Los espacios de colores perceptualmente uniformes como CIELAB y CIELUV son muy costosos computacionalmente para aplicaciones interactivas de tiempo real y son difíciles de implementar. Las alternativas propuestas, por otro lado, tienen un balance entre uniformidad perceptual, desempeño y simplicidad de cálculo. Estos espacios modelan colores de forma más exacta y son rápidos de calcular. Los resultados experimentales en este trabajo comparan espacios de colores clásicos con los propuestos en términos de uniformidad, riqueza de colores y desempeño, incluyendo numerosas pruebas de rapidez en procesadores de varios núcleos y sistemas móviles tales como ultra portátiles y los tablets tipo iPad. Los resultados evidencian que los espacios de colores propuestos son mejores alternativas para la industria de computación donde actualmente se utilicen los espacios de colores clásicos. Abstract. Two novel color spaces are described for color specification and image processing using cylindrical variants of YIQ color space. The classical color spaces HSL and HSV do not take human perception into account and are perceptually inaccurate. Perceptually uniform color spaces such as CIELAB and CIELUV are computationally expensive for real-time interactive applications and are difficult to implement. Proposed alternatives in this work provide a reasonable balance between perceptual uniformity, performance and calculation simplicity. They model colors more accurately are fast to compute. Experimental results are provided, where the classical color spaces are compared to the proposed ones in terms of perceptual uniformity, color richness and performance, including numerous benchmarks on multi-core processors and mobile systems such as ultraportable computers and tablets such as iPad. The results provide evidence that the proposed color spaces are better alternatives for computer industry where classical color spaces are currently being used.

These color spaces are so compute the color components in these popular that they made their way into CSS3 spaces from the red, green and blue specification [1]. The HSV and HSL color values, such as the primaries specifying the spaces were originally proposed by A. R. RGB color space and white point Smith back in 1978 [2]. They have an coordinates [6], [7]. Other candidates for elegant way of color specification – using perceptually uniform color spaces include hue, saturation and lightness (or value in Guth’s ATD95 Color Model [8] and DIN99 HSV). This specification makes it easy to color space [9], [10]. All these color spaces define colors both numerically and visually share several characteristics – having the using sliders, rings and so on. The values advantage of being more perceptually of hue, saturation and lightness can be uniform with the major drawback of being directly calculated from the red, green and cumbersome to compute and difficult to blue components. The conversion process implement. The mathematical complexity of was initially described by A. R. Smith [2] the aforementioned color spaces makes and can be found in popular books [3], [4]. them a very expensive alternative for real- However, the main drawback of the HSV time processing, especially in mobile and HSL color spaces is that they do not applications such as those running on model colors as they are seen by the ultraportable PCs, smartphones and tablets human eye. According to Charles Poynton such as iPad. Another drawback is that the [5], these color spaces are ―useless for chroma component in the aforementioned conveyance of accurate color information‖, models has range of values that varies suggesting that they should be abandoned. depending on other values. This makes it In his works [5], [6], Charles Poynton difficult, if not impossible, to display the describes HSV and HSL models as flawed color wheel given a specific value of in respect to color vision and that they do brightness because some areas of the color not define the color objectively. The major wheel will have invalid colors, being either drawback of the HSL color space is the out of range or not visible by the human eye lightness (or similarly value in HSV) at all. component does not take into account the An alternative color space inspired by HSV perception of the color brightness as it is and HSL called HCL Color Space has been perceived by the human eye. recently introduced by M. Sarifuddin and R. Missaoui [11]. The authors have taken into Color spaces YCH and YScH for color specification and image processing in multi-core computing and mobile systems 14 account the fact that the human eye reacts in a logarithmic manner to color intensity, making the color model more closely related to color perception. However, the HCL color space shares the drawbacks with Fig. 1. Colors plotted in the HCL color space with L=34 (a), L=68 (b) and L=101 (c). Bright gray indicates that the HSL and CIELAB color spaces and the resulting RGB values are out of the valid range. none of their advantages. The ―luminance‖ It can be seen on the Fig. 1 that HCL color (marked in quotes because according to space looks similar to HSV, where different Poynton the term luminance is commonly hue shades have different perceived misused [6]) component L in the HCL color brightness.

For a maximum RGB values, similarly to how it is reference, the colors in the CIELUV space done in HSL color space, making it [7], [13] are displayed in Fig. 2 for the same inherently perceptually incorrect. The percentages of the maximum value of chroma component C has a non-normalized luminance L*. variable range, depending on the given ―luminance‖ L, making its selection unintuitive. Last but not least, the conversion between RGB and HCL is cumbersome with some parameters not explained in sufficient detail (such as the Fig. 2.

Bright gray origin of Y0 parameter and the tuning of indicates that the resulting color is outside of sRGB parameter γ). color gamut. The colors in the HCL color space plotted at The above figures show that different constant values of L, namely 25%, 50% and shades of color like green versus blue 75% of maximum value, are illustrated on produce colors with similar perceived Fig. 1.

This problem occurs also in HSV and HSL color spaces, but not in CIELAB, CIELUV and DIN99, and their cylindrical variants. However, the range of chroma C* in these color spaces (the distance from the center to any point on 15 Yuriy Kotsarenko, Fernando Ramos diagram) varies a lot – that is, with the As shown previously on Fig. 2 the specific values of chroma C* and luminance cylindrical version of CIELUV uses terms of L*, different values of H* may produce chroma and hue based on the angle colors either inside or outside the sRGB between u and v.

  • Color Space Conversion
    L Technical Color Space Information Conversion The role of color space conversion in the process of scanning and reproduc- ing a color image begins the moment an image is captured by a scanner and continues through the point at which it is output on film. For the purpose of this article we will discuss conversions between three types of color systems: RGB, CIE, and CMYK. The RGB (Red, Green, & Blue) and CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, & Black) color models have been described in greater detail in the Linotype-Hell Technical information piece entitled Color in Printing. For some background information on the CIE (Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage), please refer to Color Spaces and PostScript Level 2. CIE as a reference color space Most scanners acquire color in the form of RGB data. The majority of non- photographic printing methods employ CMYK inks or toners. In a closed sys- tem, where the characteristics of both the scanner and the printing method are well-defined, conversions may be made from RGB to CMYK through tables that maintain a reasonable level of color consistency. The process becomes somewhat more difficult as you add monitors, other scanners, proofing devices or printing processes that have different characteristics. It becomes critical to have a consistent yardstick, if you will, a means of con- verting between different color systems (and back again) without a loss in color fidelity. This is what CIE provides. Let’s start with some background on CIE, and then we will look at how it can be applied in an open system. Measuring color Light reflected off of, or transmitted through a colored object can be mea- sured by the wavelengths of light that are reflected or transmitted.

Resumen. En este trabajo varias formulas están introducidas que permiten calcular la medir la diferencia entre colores de forma perceptible, utilizando el espacio de colores YIQ. Las formulas clásicas y sus derivados que utilizan los espacios CIELAB y CIELUV requieren muchas transformaciones aritméticas de valores entrantes definidos comúnmente con los componentes de rojo, verde y azul, y por lo tanto son muy pesadas para su implementación en dispositivos móviles. Las formulas alternativas propuestas en este trabajo basadas en espacio de colores YIQ son sencillas y se calculan rápidamente, incluso en tiempo real. La comparación está incluida en este trabajo entre las formulas clásicas y las propuestas utilizando dos diferentes grupos de experimentos. El primer grupo de experimentos se enfoca en evaluar la diferencia perceptible utilizando diferentes formulas, mientras el segundo grupo de experimentos permite determinar el desempeño de cada una de las formulas para determinar su velocidad cuando se procesan imágenes. Los resultados experimentales indican que las formulas propuestas en este trabajo son muy cercanas en términos perceptibles a las de CIELAB y CIELUV, pero son significativamente más rápidas, lo que los hace buenos candidatos para la medición de las diferencias de colores en dispositivos móviles y aplicaciones en tiempo real.

    Colors in Snap! -bh proposal, draft, do not distribute Your computer monitor can display millions of colors, but you probably can’t distinguish that many. For example, here’s red 57, green 180, blue 200: And here’s red 57, green 182, blue 200: You might be able to tell them apart if you see them side by side: … but maybe not even then. Color space—the collection of all possible colors—is three-dimensional, but there are many ways to choose the dimensions. RGB (red-green-blue), the one most commonly used, matches the way TVs and displays produce color. Behind every dot on the screen are three tiny lights: a red one, a green one, and a blue one. But if you want to print colors on paper, your printer probably uses a different set of three colors: CMY (cyan-magenta-yellow). You may have seen the abbreviation CMYK, which represents the common technique of adding black ink to the collection. (Mixing cyan, magenta, and yellow in equal amounts is supposed to result in black ink, but typically it comes out a not-very-intense gray instead.) Other systems that try to mimic human perception are HSL (hue-saturation-lightness) and HSV (hue-saturation-value). If you are a color professional—a printer, a web designer, a graphic designer, an artist—then you need to understand all this. It can also be interesting to learn about. For example, there are colors that you can see but your computer display can’t generate. If that intrigues you, look up color theory in Wikipedia.

    PRECISE COLOR COMMUNICATION COLOR CONTROL FROM PERCEPTION TO INSTRUMENTATION Knowing color. Knowing by color. In any environment, color attracts attention. An infinite number of colors surround us in our everyday lives. We all take color pretty much for granted, but it has a wide range of roles in our daily lives: not only does it influence our tastes in food and other purchases, the color of a person’s face can also tell us about that person’s health. Even though colors affect us so much and their importance continues to grow, our knowledge of color and its control is often insufficient, leading to a variety of problems in deciding product color or in business transactions involving color. Since judgement is often performed according to a person’s impression or experience, it is impossible for everyone to visually control color accurately using common, uniform standards. Is there a way in which we can express a given color* accurately, describe that color to another person, and have that person correctly reproduce the color we perceive? How can color communication between all fields of industry and study be performed smoothly? Clearly, we need more information and knowledge about color. *In this booklet, color will be used as referring to the color of an object.
