  • Measuring Perceived Color Difference Using YIQ NTSC Transmission Color Space in Mobile Applications
    Programación Matemática y Software (2010) Vol.2. Num. 2. Dirección de Reservas de Derecho: 04-2009-011611475800-102 Measuring perceived color difference using YIQ NTSC transmission color space in mobile applications Yuriy Kotsarenko, Fernando Ramos TECNOLÓGICO DE DE MONTERREY, CAMPUS CUERNAVACA. 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. Abstract. An alternative color difference formulas are presented for measuring the perceived difference between two color samples defined in YIQ color space.

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.

Coombes Guy Brock Zachary B. Abrams The Ohio State University The Ohio State University The Ohio State University Lynne V. Abruzzo The Ohio State University Abstract Although R includes numerous tools for creating color palettes to display continuous data, facilities for displaying categorical data primarily use the RColorBrewer package, which is, by default, limited to 12 colors. The colorspace package can produce more colors, but it is not immediately clear how to use it to produce colors that can be reliably distingushed in different kinds of plots. However, applications to genomics would be enhanced by the ability to display at least the 24 human chromosomes in distinct colors, as is common in technologies like spectral karyotyping. In this article, we describe the Polychrome package, which can be used to construct palettes with at least 24 colors that can be distinguished by most people with normal color vision. Polychrome includes a variety of visualization methods allowing users to evaluate the proposed palettes. In addition, we review the history of attempts to construct qualitative color palettes with many colors. Keywords: color, palette, categorical data, spectral karyotyping, R.

  • Quality Measurement of Existing Color Metrics Using Hexagonal Color Fields Yuriy Kotsarenko1, Fernando Ramos1
    Quality Measurement of Existing Color Metrics using Hexagonal Color Fields Yuriy Kotsarenko1, Fernando Ramos1 1 Instituto Tecnológico de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey Abstract. In the area of colorimetry there are many color metrics developed, such as those based on the CIELAB color space, which measure the perceptual difference between two colors. However, in software applications the typical images contain hundreds of different colors. In the case where many colors are seen by human eye, the perceived result might be different than if looking at only two of these colors at once. This work presents an alternative approach for measuring the perceived quality of color metrics by comparing several neighboring colors at once. The colors are arranged in a two dimensional board using hexagonal shapes, for every new element its color is compared to all currently available neighbors and the closest match is used. The board elements are filled from the palette with specific color set. The overall result can be judged visually on any monitor where output is sRGB compliant. Keywords: color metric, perceptual quality, color neighbors, quality estimation. 1. Introduction In the software applications there are applications where several colors need to be compared in order to determine the color that better matches the given sample. For instance, in stereo vision the colors from two separate cameras are compared to determine the visible depth. In image compression algorithms the colors of neighboring pixels are compared to determine what information should be discarded or preserved. Another example is color dithering – an approach, where color pixels are accommodated in special way to improve the overall look of the image.

  • Transforming Thermal Images to Visible Spectrum Images Using Deep Learning
    Master of Science Thesis in Electrical Engineering Department of Electrical Engineering, Linköping University, 2018 Transforming Thermal Images to Visible Spectrum Images using Deep Learning Adam Nyberg Master of Science Thesis in Electrical Engineering Transforming Thermal Images to Visible Spectrum Images using Deep Learning Adam Nyberg LiTH-ISY-EX–18/5167–SE Supervisor: Abdelrahman Eldesokey isy, Linköpings universitet David Gustafsson FOI Examiner: Per-Erik Forssén isy, Linköpings universitet Computer Vision Laboratory Department of Electrical Engineering Linköping University SE-581 83 Linköping, Sweden Copyright © 2018 Adam Nyberg Abstract Thermal spectrum cameras are gaining interest in many applications due to their long wavelength which allows them to operate under low light and harsh weather conditions. One disadvantage of thermal cameras is their limited visual inter- pretability for humans, which limits the scope of their applications. In this the- sis, we try to address this problem by investigating the possibility of transforming thermal infrared (TIR) images to perceptually realistic visible spectrum (VIS) im- ages by using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Existing state-of-the-art colorization CNNs fail to provide the desired output as they were trained to map grayscale VIS images to color VIS images. Instead, we utilize an auto-encoder ar- chitecture to perform cross-spectral transformation between TIR and VIS images. This architecture was shown to quantitatively perform very well on the problem while producing perceptually realistic images. We show that the quantitative differences are insignificant when training this architecture using different color spaces, while there exist clear qualitative differences depending on the choice of color space. Finally, we found that a CNN trained from day time examples generalizes well on tests from night time.

We address the challenge of color-mapping multivariate data. While a number of methods can map low-dimensional data to color, for example, using bilinear or barycentric interpolation for two or three variables, these methods do not scale to higher data dimensions.

Most figures are contain- (A.1) (B.1) ing colors. The Red-Green-Blue (RGB) based color palettes provided as default by most common software packages can lead to various problems. An alternative is the Hue-Chroma-Luminance (HCL) color space. The HCL color space is based on how we perceive colors. Based on HCL palettes one can strongly improve the visual output with barely no additional effort and help the end-user to gather complex data as easy as possible. (A.2) (B.2) HOW COLORS SHOULD BE natural & simpel: no highly-saturated colors; manageable number of colors (A.3) (B.3) guiding: help the reader to gather the information; guide to most important parts supportive: lead the reader; reproduce well-known patterns (e.g. water is blue) appealing & relaxing: if not: reader can get lost, very strenuous for the eye customized: who has to interpret the image? regarding visual constraints?

When this involves the shading of areas (and not only points or lines)— e.g., as in bar plots, pie charts, mosaic displays or heatmaps—it is important that the colors are perceptually based and do not introduce optical illusions or systematic bias. Here, we discuss how the perceptually-based Hue-Chroma-Luminance (HCL) color space can be used for deriving suitable color palettes for coding categorical data (qualitative palettes) and numerical variables (sequential and diverging palettes). Keywords: qualitative palette, sequential palette, diverging palette, HCL colors, HSV colors, perceptually-based color space.
