Optical data storage 12.1 Theory of color RGB additive color model B B Blue Magenta (0.6, 0.2, 1) (0,0,1) (1,0,1) Gray shades Cyan (g,g,g) (0,1,1) White (1,1,1) (0.6, 1, 0.7) R R Black Red (0,0,0) (1,0,0) G Green (0,1,0) (1, 0.7, 0.1) Yellow (1,1,0) G The RGB color model converts the additive color mixing system into a digital system, in which any color is represented by a point in a color tridimensional space and thus by a three coordinates vector. The coordinates are composed of the respective proportions of the primary light colors (Red, Green, Blue). The RGB model is often used by software as it requires no conversion in order to display colors on a computer screen. 169 CMY subtractive color model Y Y Yellow Green (0, 0.3, 0.9) (0,0,1) (1,0,1) Gray shades Red (g,g,g) (0,1,1) Black (1,1,1) C (0.4, 0, 0.3) C White Cyan (0,0,0) (1,0,0) M Magenta (0,1,0) (0.4, 0.8, 0) Blue (1,1,0) M The CMY color model corresponds to the subtractive color mixing system. The coordinates of a point in this color space are composed of the respective proportions of the primary filter colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow). The CMY model is used whenever a colored document is printed. The conversion RGB and CMY models can be written as follows: For the orange point, for example: 170 HSV color model V Green Yellow 120° 60° (37°, 0.9, 1) White H 1.0 S Cyan Red 180° 0° V Blue Magenta 240° 300° Hue is given in polar coordinate. The Saturation is the radius from the V- H axis and describes the vividness of S Black the color. The Value along the V-axis 0.0 describes the brightness. Compared to the RGB and CMY, the HSV color model has the advantage that the colors correspond more closely to our subjective description. It is, therefore, easier to make a specific color selection. This color model uses three parameters: Hue, Saturation, and Value. By projecting the RGB unit cube along the diagonal from white (1,1,1) to black (0,0,0), we get the basic hexagon of the HSV pyramid. 171 LAB color model White +b* L=100 hue Green Red –a* +a* –a* +a* Black L=0 –b* LAB color model is commonly used in graphic arts and in the textile industry. Originally proposed by the "Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage" (CIE), it is also referred to CIELAB model. It uses L, a*, b* coordinates. L is the Lightness contrast, similar to the brightness Value of the HSV model, except that L values scales from 0 (black) to 100 (white). Hue and Saturation polar coordinates of the HSV model are here converted into cartesian coordinates a*, b*, which values vary from –100 to +100. The color space can then be represented by an ideal sphere. 172 Chromaticity diagram A convenient way of visually representing all L colors in a two-dimensional space is the use of y "observer" a cut view of the La*b* sphere along an observer plane plane described by L = a* = b*. The obtained x figure is called chromaticity diagram (CIE 1931). –a* This 2-D space has two axes x and y. b* –b* 0.9 0.8 spectral locus 0.7 a* color temperature 0.6 T [K] The curved line in this diagram shows where the colours of the spectrum lie 0.5 2,500 y 3,000 and is called spectral locus; the 0.4 4,000 wavelengths are indicated in nanometres 1,500 6,000 along the curve. The straight line on the 0.3 10,000 ∞ bottom connects the chromaticity co- 0.2 ordinates of extreme red and blue, 0.1 purple line called purple boundary. The area enclosed by the spectrum locus and the 0.0 0.0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 purple boundary cover the domain of all x visible colours. 173 Practical color space and gamut The three primary colors are not available in practice as pure colors, Visible color gamut but are dirtied by a certain pro- "Pantone" gamut portion of the other primary colors. RGB color gamut The result is that it is not possible to CMY color gamut create pure white (in the additive color model) or pure black (in the subtractive model). The number of color shades that can be displayed or printed in practice with a three color system is limited to a color gamut smaller than the ideal color space seen by the human eye. Color gamut of a The use of additional primitive colors typical CRT TV screen allow in certain cases to extend the color gamut. Printing uses an additional blacK ink (CMYK quadri- chromy). Textile printing is even more demanding and often employs an additional orange dye and two more blue dyes and, thus, a total of 6 primitive colors (hexachromy). 174 Numerical color processing In theory it is possible to create every Number of bit / Number of graduations Number of shade using the RGB or CMY color primary color Red Green Blue colors models.

This means 3 x 8 bits = 24 bits are necessary for each color shade. The number of bits used to represent the color of a single pixel in an image is called the color depth. When the number of available graduations is not sufficient, as in most printers, a halftoning technique has to be used to simulate light color shades, obviously at the detriment of Examples of color halftoning with CMYK spatial resolution.

In the RYB color model, red, yellow, and blue are defined as the primary colors. In this study, we apply this model to computers by formulating a conversion between the red-green-blue (RGB) and RYB color spaces. In addition, we present a class of compositing methods in the RYB color space. Moreover, we prescribe the appropriate uses of these compo- siting methods in different situations. By using RYB color compositing, paint-like compositing can be easily achieved. We also verified the effectiveness of our proposed method by using several experiments and demonstrated its application on the basis of RYB color compositing.

  • Fabrication of Rainbow Holograms Using SEM Based E-Beam Lithography
    Fabrication of digital rainbow holograms and 3- D imaging using SEM based e-beam lithography An. Firsov,1,2,* A. Firsov,2 B. Loechel,1 A. Erko,1 A. Svintsov2 and S. Zaitsev2 1Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie (HZB), Albert-Einstein-Str. 15, 12489 Berlin, Germany 2Institute of Microelectronics Technology and High Purity Materials RAS, 142432 Chernogolovka, Moscow region, Russia * [email protected] Abstract: Here we present an approach for creating full-color digital rainbow holograms based on mixing three basic colors. Much like in a color TV with three luminescent points per single screen pixel, each color pixel of initial image is presented by three (R, G, B) distinct diffractive gratings in a hologram structure. Change of either duty cycle or area of the gratings are used to provide proper R, G, B intensities. Special algorithms allow one to design rather complicated 3D images (that might even be replacing each other with hologram rotation). The software developed (“RainBow”) provides stability of colorization of rotated image by means of equalizing of angular blur from gratings responsible for R, G, B basic colors. The approach based on R, G, B color synthesis allows one to fabricate gray-tone rainbow hologram containing white color what is hardly possible in traditional dot-matrix technology. Budgetary electron beam lithography based on SEM column was used to fabricate practical examples of digital rainbow hologram. The results of fabrication of large rainbow holograms from design to imprinting are presented. Advantages of the EBL in comparison to traditional optical (dot-matrix) technology is considered.

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of frequencies (the spectrum) of electromagnetic radiation and their respective wavelengths and photon energies. Spectral colors range from the reds through orange and yellow at the low-frequency end to greens, blues and violet at the high end.

One of them is thermography. It is a safe and non-invasive method of diagnostic. Fault diagnostic method of incipient states of Direct Current motor was described in the article. Thermographic images of the commutator of Direct Current motor were used in an analysis. Two kinds of thermographic images were analysed: thermographic image of commutator of healthy DC motor, thermographic image of commutator of DC motor with shorted rotor coils. The analysis was carried out for image processing methods such as: extraction of magenta colour, binarization, sum of vertical pixels and sum of all pixels in the image. Classification was conducted for K-Nearest Neighbour classifier. The results of analysis show that the proposed method is efficient. It can be also used for diagnostic purposes in industrial plants.

  • Color Management the Basics Simply Explained
    How-to: AccurioPro Flux Color management The basics simply explained In this How-to, we explain why color management is necessary and what happens in the background. AccurioPro Flux | Color management: The basics simply explained The colors in a print job can come from different sources: Images from cameras or scanners, as well as graphics, text and layout from various applications. In each source, color can be defined differently. Also the output of each printer is a little different. One printer can print many colors, another only a few. Even printers of the same type and manufacturer always print colors a little differently. In addition, the color rendering is influenced by the toner used and the selected paper. With good color management, it is possible to control the colors in the print job and set up a color-constant printing process. The aim is to achieve a constant color rendering across the various printers and papers according to a predefined standard. If you print a job on different printers with the same paper, you get consistent color rendering. If a customer orders a print job at a later date, they receive an output in the same colors as for the initial order. A few basics in advance for a better understanding: What is a color space A color space includes all the colors that a device or medium can display. The larger a color space is, the more colors can be displayed. Each printer and monitor has its own color space. These color spaces vary in size so that different monitors and printers can display different numbers of colors.

  • Human Skin Detection Using RGB, HSV and Ycbcr Color Models
    Human Skin Detection Using RGB, HSV and YCbCr Color Models S. Kolkur1, D. Kalbande2, P. Shimpi2, C. Bapat2, and J. Jatakia2 1 Department of Computer Engineering, Thadomal Shahani Engineering College, Bandra,Mumbai, India 2 Department of Computer Engineering, Sardar Patel Institute of Technology, Andheri,Mumbai, India { [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]} Abstract. Human Skin detection deals with the recognition of skin-colored pixels and regions in a given image. Skin color is often used in human skin detection because it is invariant to orientation and size and is fast to pro- cess. A new human skin detection algorithm is proposed in this paper. The three main parameters for recogniz- ing a skin pixel are RGB (Red, Green, Blue), HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) and YCbCr (Luminance, Chromi- nance) color models. The objective of proposed algorithm is to improve the recognition of skin pixels in given images. The algorithm not only considers individual ranges of the three color parameters but also takes into ac- count combinational ranges which provide greater accuracy in recognizing the skin area in a given image. Keywords: Skin Detection, Color Models, Image Processing, Classifier 1 Introduction Skin detection is the process of finding skin-colored pixels and regions in an image or a video. This process is typically used as a preprocessing step to find regions that potentially have human faces and limbs in images [2]. Skin image recognition is used in a wide range of image processing applications like face recognition, skin dis- ease detection, gesture tracking and human-computer interaction [1].
