TERMINOLOGY: WHAT’S IN A NAME? We all heard it before: Look-up tables, 8 to 10 bits, 1024 simultaneous shades of gray. In the jargon and figures describing grayscale resolution, it is easy to get lost. One may assume that the higher the numbers are, the better the image quality will be. But is this really so? The answer to this question is more subtle. In fact, the highest numbers do not always yield the best image quality. The purpose of this white paper is to make technically as well as non-technically trained people understand what the figures and specifications mean and what to watch for when specifying display systems for medical imaging applications. 1.1 Look-up tables explained A good understanding of the concept and technical capabilities of Look-up tables1 (LUT) is essential for an in depth discussion of grayscale resolution. Look-up tables come in a large variety and are a key component defining what the final grayscale or color capabilities of a display system will be. A LUT is a piece of memory inserted between the video memory, located on the graphic board or display controller, and the display. As every memory, the LUT has address lines defining which memory location we want to address. The address lines is called the input to the LUT and is connected to the video memory. Thus, the pixel content stored in the video memory is defining where to point in the memory block of the LUT. The output of the LUT is formed by the contents of the memory cell itself, in general terms called data. The output of a LUT is connected to the display input. In analog systems, the digital output of the LUT is first converted to an analog value before feeding it to an analog display. In case of digital displays - LCD2 displays are typically driven using digital signals – the digital LUT output is fed directly to the display. The situation of a digital display is illustrated in Fig. 1 below. 1 LUT: Look-Up Table 2 LCD: Liquid Crystal Displays Paul Matthijs Final Version 26/11/2003, Page 5 www.barcomedi cal.com Barco white paper: Grayscale resolution - Company Confidential LUT (8 to 8 bit example) DIGITAL DISPLAY 0 b7........b2.b1.b0 1 b7........b2.b1.b0 2 b7........b2.b1.b0 Pixel 3 b7........b2.b1.b0 Pixel Input Value Output Value 4 b7........b2.b1.b0 VIDEO MEMORY 8 bits wide 8 bits wide From video to memory display 255 b7........b2.b1.b0 GRAPHICS ADDRESS DATA PROCESSOR Display Controller located in workstation Host System PCI BUS Fig. 1 Situating the LUT in the display system In this particular case, the video memory is 8 bits wide, meaning that every video memory location contains pixel values of 8 bits wide. The data output of the video memory is connected to the address lines of the LUT, that in its turn, has 8 bits wide memory locations. The data output of the LUT is then connected to the digital display. This scheme is reproduced for every color Red (R), Green (G) and Blue (B) in case of a color display system. In case of a grayscale display system, the scheme is only reproduced once describing the intensity values of the image. The LUT in the case of Fig. 1 is said to be an 8 to 8 bit LUT3 since both input and output are 8 bits wide. Other options for LUT input and output widths will be discussed further in this paper. It should be clear that the LUT scheme does nothing else than a transformation of the pixel values into other pixel values, as defined by the content of the LUT. This transformation capability of a LUT is mostly used to define an arbitrary conversion from pixel values as stored in the video memory – sometimes called p-values - into display values to be fed to the display. This conversion may be required to compensate for the physical behavior of the display converting digital values into luminance values. This is illustrated in Fig. 2 below. The LUT content can be changed on the fly, without interrupting the image to the display. Thanks to that possibility, LUTs are also intensively used to change the image representation dynamically, e.g. enhance contrast, or apply window and leveling functions in medical applications. Yet another application for LUTS is situated in color display applications to change the color palette available to the application. 3 8 to 8 bit LUT: LUT having 8 bits wide address (= LUT input) and 8 bits wide data (= LUT output) Paul Matthijs Final Version 26/11/2003, Page 6 www.barcomedi cal.com Barco white paper: Grayscale resolution - Company Confidential LUT Output 255 Display Response Curve LUT Response Curve LUT Input 0 255 Fig. 2 LUT response compensating display transfer curve to obtain linear relationship 1.2 LUT Characteristics translated to image quality parameters The physical characteristics have a dramatic impact on the color and grayscale capabilities of the display system. The input as well as the output resolution of LUTs are each related to different image properties. We refer to Fig. 1 above and Fig. 3 below.

This means that both the input as well as the output resolution of the LUT were 8 bits wide, yielding 256 possibilities at each side. Other set-ups are possible. As is illustrated in the Fig. 3, it is possible to have the LUT output be of different width than the input. To the left of the figure, an 8 to 10 bit LUT is illustrated. The input values fed from the video memory to the LUT input are 8 bits wide. This means that at any given time, there are not more than 256 discrete and simultaneous possibilities to describe a pixel value in the image.

  • Color Combinations and Contrasts
    COLOR COMBINATIONS AND CONTRASTS Full Value Color Combinations Above are 18 color combinations tested for visibility, using primary and secondary colors, of full hue and value. Visibility is ranked in the sequence shown, with 1 being the most visible and 18 being the least visible. Readability It is essential that outdoor designs are easy to read. Choose colors with high contrast in both hue and value. Contrasting colors are viewed well from great distances, while colors with low contrast will blend together and obscure a message. In fact, research demonstrates that high color contrast can improve outdoor advertising recall by 38 percent. A standard color wheel clearly illustrates the importance of contrast, hue and value. Opposite colors on the wheel are complementary. An example is red and green (as shown above). They respresent a good contrast in hue, but their values are similar. It is difficult for the human eye to process the wavelength variations associated with complementary colors. Therefore, a quivering or optical distortion is sometimes detected when two complemen- tary colors are used in tandem. Adjacent colors, such as blue and green, make especially poor combinations since their contrast is similar in both hue and value. As a result, adjacent colors create contrast that is hard to discern. Alternating colors, such as blue and yellow, produce the best combinations since they have good contrast in both hue and value. Black contrasts well with any color of light value and white is a good contrast with colors of dark value. For example, yellow and black are dissimilar in the contrast of both hue and value.

  • Rethinking Color Cameras
    Rethinking Color Cameras Ayan Chakrabarti William T. Freeman Todd Zickler Harvard University Massachusetts Institute of Technology Harvard University Cambridge, MA Cambridge, MA Cambridge, MA [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Digital color cameras make sub-sampled measurements of color at alternating pixel locations, and then “demo- saick” these measurements to create full color images by up-sampling. This allows traditional cameras with re- stricted processing hardware to produce color images from a single shot, but it requires blocking a majority of the in- cident light and is prone to aliasing artifacts. In this paper, we introduce a computational approach to color photogra- phy, where the sampling pattern and reconstruction process are co-designed to enhance sharpness and photographic speed. The pattern is made predominantly panchromatic, thus avoiding excessive loss of light and aliasing of high spatial-frequency intensity variations. Color is sampled at a very sparse set of locations and then propagated through- out the image with guidance from the un-aliased luminance channel. Experimental results show that this approach often leads to significant reductions in noise and aliasing arti- facts, especially in low-light conditions. Figure 1. A computational color camera.

  • OSHER Color 2021
    OSHER Color 2021 Presentation 1 Mysteries of Color Color Foundation Q: Why is color? A: Color is a perception that arises from the responses of our visual systems to light in the environment. We probably have evolved with color vision to help us in finding good food and healthy mates. One of the fundamental truths about color that's important to understand is that color is something we humans impose on the world. The world isn't colored; we just see it that way. A reasonable working definition of color is that it's our human response to different wavelengths of light. The color isn't really in the light: We create the color as a response to that light Remember: The different wavelengths of light aren't really colored; they're simply waves of electromagnetic energy with a known length and a known amount of energy. OSHER Color 2021 It's our perceptual system that gives them the attribute of color. Our eyes contain two types of sensors -- rods and cones -- that are sensitive to light. The rods are essentially monochromatic, they contribute to peripheral vision and allow us to see in relatively dark conditions, but they don't contribute to color vision. (You've probably noticed that on a dark night, even though you can see shapes and movement, you see very little color.) The sensation of color comes from the second set of photoreceptors in our eyes -- the cones. We have 3 different types of cones cones are sensitive to light of long wavelength, medium wavelength, and short wavelength.

  • High Resolution Gray Scale Medical Displays - Technical Developments and Actual Products
    LCDs High Resolution Gray Scale Medical Displays - Technical Developments and Actual Products MIYAMOTO Tsuneo, HAYASHIDA Katsumi, MATSUI Seiji, MORI Kengo Abstract The trend in improvements to the brightness and contrast of LCD panels is accelerating the shift in medical displays from CRT to LCD panels. In the field of medical displays a precise relative image evaluation between multiple displays is an essential function. However, the alignment of the white points across multiple LCD panels and the deviation of white points caused by deterioration with age are tend to result in a significant increase in the costs and service expenses. The newly developed displays introduced below employ a “new backlight system (called X-Light®)” with a white point adjustment capability that enables long hours of use with stable white points and brightness. Other features that allow the new displays to support accurate medical image diagnoses include the SA-SFT LCD panel that features high brightness and contrast, 11.5-bit gamma circuitry and an integral calibration system.

  • Grayscale and Color Generation with SLA/MLA Products
    Grayscale and Color Generation with SLA/MLA products Basically, monochrome STN panel is only able to display black and white (On or Off). It is not inherently able to display gray shades or gray scales. Therefore, some driving methods have been developed in order to achieve grayscale and color display. Dithering and Frame Rate Control (FRC) are the two commons driving methods to generate grayscale in STN LCD Panel. Dithering Dithering is achieved by alternately driving some pixels black and some pixels white in a checkerboard type pattern. When using this method, the pattern should be produced in a random order to create the perception of a gray shade. Dithering is performed using a regular or repeating pattern, grayscale effect can then be detected by our human eyes. Here is an example for dithering driving method of using a pattern with 4(2x2) pixels to generate 5 grayscale levels, Visual Grayscale Effect (2 x 2) Unit Pixel Dithering Driving Method Commonly, more advance dithering methods will be adopted in order to generate a better grayscale display. For example, different checkerboard patterns and random “NO” pixel in a pattern may be used to avoid any visual side effects. Frame Rate Control (FRC) Frame Rate Control is achieved by tuning pixels on and off over several frame periods. With sufficient frame refreshing frequency, our human eyes will average out the darkness of a pixel so that the individual pixel will show as gray. Here is an example of using 4 FRC to generate 5 grayscale levels, Frame Visual Grayscale 1st 2nd 3rd 4th Effect + + + = + + + = + + + = + + + = + + + = FRC Driving Method Commonly, FRC is an easier driving method for implementing grayscale.

Yet, using Ccolor on the Web can be difficult because of the limitations of today’s browser technology. Color reproduction is far from perfect, and the effect of Web colors on users may not always be what was intended. Apart from correct reproduction, there are other factors that affect the usability of color on the Web. For instance, a misunderstanding of the cultural significance of certain colors may cause a negative feeling in the user. In this chapter, color technology and usage on the Web will be covered, while the following chapter will focus on the use of images online. Color Basics Before discussing the technology of Web color, let’s quickly review color terms and theory. In traditional color theory, there are three primary colors: blue, red, and yellow. By mixing the primary colors you get three secondary colors: green, orange, and purple. Finally, by mixing these colors we get the tertiary colors: yellow-orange, red-orange, red-purple, blue-purple, blue-green, and yellow-green.

  • Color Calibration Guide
    WHITE PAPER www.baslerweb.com Color Calibration of Basler Cameras 1. What is Color? When talking about a specific color it often happens that it is described differently by different people. The color perception is created by the brain and the human eye together. For this reason, the subjective perception may vary. By effectively correcting the human sense of sight by means of effective methods, this effect can even be observed for the same person. Physical color sensations are created by electromagnetic waves of wavelengths between 380 and 780 nm. In our eyes, these waves stimulate receptors for three different Content color sensitivities. Their signals are processed in our brains to form a color sensation. 1. What is Color? ......................................................................... 1 2.
