This study investigated whether people experience a correspondence between color hue-tone and the main characters' emotions in the 2012 British musical drama film, Les $Mis\grave{e}rables$ through three practical experiments. Six screen images, which represent the characters' different emotions (Parrot's six primary types including love, joy, surprise, anger, sadness, and fear) were selected. For each screen image, participants were asked to judge the degree of the character's dominant emotions evoked from 17 varied screen images, which consisted of original chromatic and achromatized images as well as 15 color-filtered images (5 hues X 3 tones of the IRI color system). These tasks revealed that a chromatic color scheme is more effective to deliver the characters' positive emotions (i.e. love and joy) than an achromatic one. In addition, they proved that the hue and tone dimensions partially influence the relationships between the character emotions and colors.

Color selection plays a vitally important role in creating impressions of individuals or companies. This is largely because colors have sensibility aspects, which relate, in part, to images and, in part, to associations. Based on theories of color harmony and sensibility ergonomics, we have developed quantitative and systematic metrics for color images. In this paper, we suggest a color coordinate system that supports color analysis and color harmony functions using color images, which can be captured by corresponding adjectival words. We focus on a prototype system for graphical logo design to exemplify our concepts. The system can be applied to a wide variety of design domains.

Robust and perceptually-adaptive image watermarking algorithms have mainly targeted gray-scale images either at the modeling or embedding levels despite the widespread availability of color images. Only few of the existing algorithms are specifically designed for color images where color correlation and perception are constructively exploited. In this paper, a new perceptual and high-capacity color image watermarking solution is proposed based on the extension of Tsui et al. algorithm. The $CIEL^*a^*b^*$ space and the spatio-chromatic Fourier transform (SCFT) are combined along with a perceptual model to hide watermarks in color images where the embedding process reconciles between the conflicting requirements of digital watermarking. The perceptual model, based on an emerging color image model, exploits the non-uniform just-noticeable color difference (NUJNCD) thresholds of the $CIEL^*a^*b^*$ space. Also, spread-spectrum techniques and semi-random low-density parity check codes (SR-LDPC) are used to boost the watermark robustness and capacity. Unlike, existing color-based models, the data hiding capacity of our scheme relies on a game-theoretic model where upper bounds for watermark embedding are derived. Finally, the proposed watermarking solution outperforms existing color-based watermarking schemes in terms of robustness to standard image/color attacks, hiding capacity and imperceptibility.

This paper proposes a new color feature and a corresponding distance measure for content-based retrieval of design images such as trade marks, pattens, logos, textile images, and icons. Simulation results with textile images show that the proposed method outperforms the traditional color-based retrieval methods which was originally proposed fer content-based retrieval of natural images.

A segmentation is a prior processing for medical image analysis and 3D reconstruction. This Paper provides the method to segment 3D Visible Human color images. Firstly, the reference images that have a initial curve are segmented using Balloon and the results are propagated to the adjacent images. In the propagation processing, the result of the adjacent slice is modified by Edge-limited SRG Finally, the 3D Balloon improves the segmentation results of each 2D slice. the proposed method's performance was verified through the experiments to segment thigh muscles of Visible Human color images.

The rainbow has been considered as a perfect representative of color harmony in nature. In this study rainbow's colors include seven spectral colors and changeable colors according to observational angle. This study performed a bibliographical inquiry into rainbow colors and the survey research for classification of rainbow color images in fashion design. First, a bibliographical inquiry includes the definition of rainbow colors, physical formation principles of the rainbow, and its aesthetical attributes and symbolism. Second, this survey classifies rainbow color images in fashion design. The results of this study are as follows: 1. The rainbow was the religious and symbolic object before 17th century, and after that period, the rainbow became an aesthetical object. The main symbolic meanings are similar in eastern and western culture: temporary bridge between two world, divine nature, hope/beauty/richness, war/ death/flood/drought. 2. This survey shows that 6 main factors of rainbow color images in fashion design are 'vigorous', 'colorful'. 'fairy', 'fresh', 'mysterious', 'brilliant'. Rainbow color image in fashion design shows past and futuristic image at the same time. The purpose of this study is to systematized the images theoretical bases which are applied to color expression and of rainbow colors and to find out the development about rainbow theme by designers.

디지털 워터마킹은 복제되어 배포된 디지털 미디어의 저작권을 확인할 수 있는 전자적인 수단을 제공한다. 이미지에 관한 디지털 워터마킹 연구 분야에서는 그레이스케일 이미지에 대한 많은 연구 성과를 바탕으로 최근에는 실생활에서 광범위하게 사용되고 있는 컬러 이미지에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 컬러 이미지는 그레이스케일 이미지에 비하여 각각이 그레이스케일 이미지에 대응될 수 있는 다수의 채널을 가지고 있다. 단순하게 그레이스케일 이미지에 적용되던 기법을 컬러 이미지의 한 채널에 적용하는 연구들도 많은데, 이 채널들 간에는 상관관계가 존재한다는 특성이 고려되지 못하고 있다. 이 논문에서는 DCT 도메인 상에서 컬러 이미지의 두 채널을 비교하여 생성한 특징(이미지 의존 워터마크)을 스크램블링 처리된 저작권 워터마크와 결합하여 워터마크 키를 생성하는 기법을 제시한다. 이 방법은 이미지에 어떤 변경도 하지 않는 제로-워터마킹의 일종으로서, 생성된 키는 워터마크를 호스트 이미지에 삽입하는 워터마킹 기법과 달리 이미지 왜곡이 없다는 장점이 있으며, 샤프닝, 블러링, JPEG 손실 압축, 축소/확대, 잘라내기 등을 이용한 공격에도 강인함을 보여준다.

영상의 화질을 향상시키기 위하여 콘트라스트(contrast)를 향상시키는 기법이 많이 사용된다. 컬러 영상의 콘트라스트를 향상시키는 경우에 컬러의 saturation이 높은 순수한 색에 대해서는 과도한 콘트라스트 향상으로 인한 색 포화 현상이 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 HSI 컬러 공간에서 saturation 성분을 이용하여 순수한 색에 대한 과도한 콘트라스트 향상으로 발생할 수 있는 색 포화 현상을 방지할 수 있는 기법과 YCbCr 컬러 공간에서도 동일한 효과를 보이는 컬러 영상 화질 향상 기법을 제안한다. 다양한 영상에 대한 실험 결과 제안하는 기법이 기존의 방법에 비하여 좋은 화질의 영상을 생성하는 것을 보인다.

The performance of edge detection often relies on its ability to correctly determine the dissimilarities of connected pixels. For grayscale images, the dissimilarity of two pixels is estimated by a scalar difference of their intensities and for color images, this is done by using the vector difference (color distance) of the three-color components. The Euclidean distance in the RGB color space typically measures a color distance. However, the RGB space is not suitable for edge detection since its color components do not coincide with the information human perception uses to separate objects from backgrounds. In this paper, we propose a novel method for color edge detection by taking advantage of the HSV color space and the Mahalanobis distance. The HSV space models colors in a manner similar to human perception. The Mahalanobis distance independently considers the hue, saturation, and lightness and gives them different degrees of contribution for the measurement of color distances. Therefore, our method is robust against the change of lightness as compared to previous approaches. Furthermore, we will introduce a noise-resistant technique for determining image gradients. Various experiments on simulated and real-world images show that our approach outperforms several existing methods, especially when the images vary in lightness or are corrupted by noise.

이미지의 유사성을 결정하는 요인을 톤(tone), 즉 명도와 채도로 결정하여 정보 엔트로피를 계산하여 상관 계수를 계산하였다. 이미지의 톤을 알아보기 위해 영상정보의 색 공간을 RGB color space에서 HSI color space로 전환하였다. 이후 유사성을 판단하기 위해 이미지의 전체 픽셀수가 아닌 엔트로피 값의 범위에 따라 전체 70%의 픽셀 또는 이미지를 가장 많이 구성하는 세 가지 톤의 픽셀 수에 의해 결정되었다. 'Romantic'이라는 인간의 감성으로 판단된 18개의 영상정보를 선정하여 위의 모델을 적용, 이미지 유사성을 판단하였다.
