Computational RYB Color Model and Its Applications
IIEEJ Transactions on Image Electronics and Visual Computing Vol.5 No.2 （2017） -- Special Issue on Application-Based Image Processing Technologies -- Computational RYB Color Model and its Applications Junichi SUGITA† (Member), Tokiichiro TAKAHASHI†† (Member) †Tokyo Healthcare University, ††Tokyo Denki University/UEI Research <Summary> The red-yellow-blue (RYB) color model is a subtractive model based on pigment color mixing and is widely used in art education. 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.

PANTONE color is used in physical applications whenever possible to reinforce the visual brand identity. CMYK designation is used for physical applications as an alternative to PANTONE (with the exception of any Microsoft Office documents, which use RGB). RGB values are used for any digital communications (excluding websites and e-communications), and all Microsoft Office documents (physical or digital). HEX values are used for any digital communications (excluding websites and e-communications). The value is an exact match to RGB. WEB HEX values are designated so websites and e-communica- tions can meet accessibility requirements. This compliance will ensure that people with disabilities can use Brandeis IBS online communications. For more about accessibility, visit http://www.brandeis.edu/acserv/disabilities/index.html.

PRIMARY-CONSISTENT SOFT-DECISION COLOR DEMOSAIC for DIGITAL CAMERAS (Patent Pending)
PRIMARY-CONSISTENT SOFT-DECISION COLOR DEMOSAIC FOR DIGITAL CAMERAS (Patent Pending) Xiaolin Wu and Ning Zhang Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario L8S 4M2 [email protected] ABSTRACT Another drawback of the existing color demosaic algorithms is that they interpolate missing color components at a Bayer color mosaic sampling scheme is widely used in digital pixel independently of the color interpolations at neighboring cameras. Given the resolution of CCD sensor arrays, the image pixels. The interpolation decision is made on a hypothesis on quality of digital cameras using Bayer sampling mosaic largely the local gradient direction. But these algorithms do not validate depends on the performance of the color demosaic process. A the underlying hypothesis after the color interpolation is done. common and serious weakness shared by all existing color The verification of the hypothesis is difficult if the pixels are demosaic algorithms is an inconsistency of sample treated individually. To overcome this drawback we introduce a interpolations in different primary color components, which is new notion of soft-decision color demosaic. At each pixel, the culprit for the most objectionable color artifacts. To cure the instead of forcing a decision on the gradient with insufficient problem we propose a primary-consistent color demosaic information to guide the interpolation, we make multiple algorithm. The performance of this algorithm is further hypotheses and interpolate missing color components for each enhanced by a soft-decision sample interpolation scheme. of the hypotheses. Then we examine the interpolation results Experiments demonstrate that the proposed framework of under different hypotheses in a window of the pixel in question, primary-consistent soft-decision color demosaic can and choose the one whose underlying hypothesis agrees with the significantly improve the image quality of digital cameras.

Color and False-Color Films for Aerial Photography

ABSTRACT: Color reproduction by the photographic process using three primary colors is discussed, and the 11se of these photographic and optical principles for false-color reproduction is explained. The characteristics of two new aerial films-Kodak Ektachrome Aero Film (Process E-3) and a false-color type, Kodak Ektachrome Infrared Aero Film (Process E-3)-are compared with those of the older products they replace. The new films have higher speed, im proved definition, and less granularity.

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.

No single color model can explain all aspects of color, so we make use of different models to help describe the different perceived characteristics of color. 15-1. PROPERTIES OF LIGHT Light is a narrow frequency band within the electromagnetic system. Other frequency bands within this spectrum are called radio waves, micro waves, infrared waves and x-rays. The below figure shows the frequency ranges for some of the electromagnetic bands. Each frequency value within the visible band corresponds to a distinct color. 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. Since light is an electromagnetic wave, the various colors are described in terms of either the frequency for the wave length λ of the wave. The wavelength and frequency of the monochromatic wave is inversely proportional to each other, with the proportionality constants as the speed of light C where C = λ f.
