Abstract

In spite of the ever increasing prevalence of low-cost, color printing devices, gray-scale printing devices remain in widespread use. Authors producing documents with color images must account for the possibility that color images might be reduced to gray scale before they are viewed, and that the standard reduction used by gray scale printers--map color to luminance--might fail to preserve important image detail. This article suggests a new transformation for color to gray scale that preserves image detail by maintaining distance ratios during the reduction. An extension of the new transformation that reduces 3D color space to a 2D surface is also suggested. Such reductions are important for color-deficient observers.

Abstract
In underwater, light attenuation causes non-uniform illumination that degrades underwater image. To enhance the degraded image, we propose an underwater image enhancement method that includes color correction, color constancy, multi-...

Temporal Color Consistency-Based Video Reproduction for Dichromats

In this paper, a video re-coloring algorithm for dichromats is presented. Different from image re-coloring schemes, reproducing a video for dichromats requires maintaining temporal color consistency between frames, i.e., the same color in different ...
