Study Notes
Digital Image Processing (DIP)
- Digital Image Processing (DIP) is a field studying image manipulation.
- A website for learning about ImProc is available at https://moodle.eurecom.fr/course/view.php?id=415
- An introduction to Colorimetry was presented on November 13, 2024.
- The website confirmed that the dress is blue and black.
Color Illusions
- Dress images caused an internet discussion about color perception.
- The dress was initially posted on Tumblr.
- The original image caused many people to interpret the colors as white and gold, and some as blue and black.
- The perceived color difference is due to lighting conditions and differences in individual color perception.
Color Perception
- Color perception depends on the source of illumination.
- The characteristics of the object (absorptions, wavelengths).
- Characteristics of the human eye (example: cones).
- The human brain's color interpretation.
Light
- Light is electromagnetic radiation.
- The human eye registers a limited spectrum of electromagnetic radiation (between 780nm and 380nm, which is less than 1% of the total emitted by the sun).
- Wavelength determines color and amplitude determines brightness.
Light Sources
- Light comes from various sources, and the light source affects how colors are perceived.
- Common light sources include incandescent light (sunlight, candles, light bulbs), gas discharge (sodium, mercury, xenon lamps), photoluminescence (fluorescent lighting), and chemical reactions.
Illuminants
- Light sources, or illuminants, are defined by color temperature and spectral power distribution.
- Different light sources have different spectral power distributions.
- Color temperature is a measure of the color of a light source.
Human Eye
- The retina is the membrane in the eyeball that receives images from the lens, which changes the image into nerve impulses.
- The fovea is the central part of the retina, with high visual acuity and many cone cells.
Photosensitive Cells
- Two types of photosensitive cells are in the retina.
- Rods are sensitive to brightness and luminance (scotopic vision). The number of rods is approximately 120 million.
- Cones are sensitive to color and frequency (photopic vision). The number of cones is approximately 5 million.
- Cones are more concentrated in the fovea.
- Rods predominantly occur in the periphery of vision.
Cone Facts
- Color vision comes from three types of cones, each responding to different colors; red (L), green (M), and blue (S).
- The sensitivity peaks in the green range.
- Red cones account for 64% of overall absorption, green for 32%, and blue for 4% (although blue cone density is not present in the center of the retina).
- The perception of a spectrum of colors is produced by stimulating these cones in different ways.
- Metamers differ by light spectrum but produce the same color perception.
Color Illusions
- Color illusions involve visual perception that differs from reality.
- Lightness contrast: surrounding dark colors make parts of the image appear lighter than they are, and vice-versa.
- Saturation contrast: a strong color stands out more against a neutral background.
- Hue contrast is similar to lightness contrast.
- Complementary contrast is described when a color appears much brighter against its complementary color.
Color Blindness
- Color blindness is a deficiency in color vision.
- Various types of color blindness exist.
- Anomalous Trichromacy is a condition of color perception where one of the cones has lost some ability to distinguish colors (6.3% of males, 0.37% of females).
- Protanomaly is a type of anomalous Trichromacy.
- Deuteranomaly is a type of anomalous Trichromacy.
- Tritanomaly is a type of anomalous Trichromacy.
- Dichromacy is a general term for a color vision defect where one type of cone is missing.
- Protanopia has missing L-cones (1.3% of males, 0.02% of females).
- Deuteranopia has missing M-cones (1.2% of males, 0.01% of females).
- Tritanopia has missing S-cones (0.001% of males, 0.03% of females).
- Rod monochromacy has missing cones, and only rods (0.00001% of males, 0.00001% of females).
Ishihara Test
- The Ishihara test is used to detect color blindness.
- The test includes figures with various colors and patterns.
Color Naming
- Color naming is attaching labels like black or red to colors.
- Perceptual categories are constructed through language.
- Culture colors (Berlin & Kay, 1969): black, white, red, green, yellow, blue, brown, purple, pink, orange, gray.
Additive Color Mixing
- Primary colors: red, green, and blue.
- Secondary colors: magenta, yellow, and cyan.
- Starting with a black background, adding colored lights produces color.
- Used in television, cameras, computer graphics, etc.
Additive Color Mixing Rules
-
Grassman's laws describe how colors are combined.
- Law 1: any color can be matched by combining primary colors linearly.
- Law 2: a mixture of two colors can be matched by linearly adding their combined components.
- Law 3: proportionality.
Subtractive Color Mixing
- Primary colors: yellow, cyan, magenta.
- Secondary colors: red, green, and blue.
- Colors are created by subtracting colors from white.
- Used in printing and photography.
White Balance, Bayer Interpolation
- A white object will have equal reflectance values for each primary color (R=G=B).
- Bayer interpolation is a method to create a color image using a monochrome image sensor.
- Each sensor, in the Bayer array, only measures one color value within the image.
- R or B value interpolations are conducted from neighboring pixels of the same color.
Color Models
- Color models are systems to categorize and define colors based on attributes like hue, saturation/chroma, and lightness/value.
- Examples include: Munsell, Chevreul, Ostwald, RGB, HSV, CIE XYZ, CIE Lab, and CIE Luv.
RGB Color Model
- RGB is a color model that uses red, green, and blue light intensities to reproduce color.
- The color space can be represented as a cube.
Problems with RGB
- The perceived range of colors in RGB is small.
- Calculating the correct combination of colors is difficult.
- The model is not perceptually linear (distance apart does not necessarily imply a similar difference in perception.)
Color Making Attributes
- Hue: A color's distinctive quality, like red, orange, or blue.
- Lightness/Value: The quantity of light reflected by a color, influencing how light or dark it appears.
- Chroma/Saturation: A color's intensity or purity; a highly saturated color is bright while a less saturated color is dull.
Munsell Color System
- Munsell created a system for describing colors using decimal notation.
- The system, modeled as an orb, uses a central column representing the value of colors, each arm representing color hue, and each segment's length denoting saturation.
HSV/HLS Color Models
- HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value): A color model that describes colors in a simpler, more intuitive way for designers/artists. The model describes colored lights in comparison to their respective intensities, rather than mixing multiple colored lights.
- HLS (Hue, Lightness, Saturation): A similar model to HSV, based on brightness more than color intensity.
CIE XYZ Color Model
- Defined in 1931, described the full space of perceptible color.
- Uses hypothetical primary colors to replace red, green, and blue.
- Mathematical representation of colors, but not physically attainable.
Color Matching
- Some colors aren't achievable by simply combining primary colors.
- A solution is to add light from the other side.
CIE xyY Color Space
- uses x, y, and Y for representing chromaticity coordinates and brightness.
Dominant Wavelength
- Describes the color of light that will form a given color.
- The purity (saturation) of a color is the ratio of distance between a given point in color space (that is, the color in question).
Complementary Wavelength
- Complimentary colors are colors that produce white light when mixed.
- Colors located opposite each other in a color model (like a circle) are complementary.
- Colors that create white light when mixed.
Perceptual Uniform Color Model
- Distance between colors in the model closely matches perceived distances.
Non-perceptually Uniform Color Models
- Colors in some models are not perceived to have a distance in color space that matches the Euclidean distance. (a measure of distance often calculated from points on a graph)
CIE Lab Color Space
- Developed in 1976.
- A perceptually uniform color space, meaning distance in the model correlates with the perceived distance between colors.
- Uses three variables: L (luminance), a (red-green axis), and b (blue-yellow axis).
YIQ Color Model
- Used in US commercial color TV broadcasting.
- Y encodes luminance (brightness).
- I and Q encode color differences.
- YIQ is more used for broadcast signals due to signal bandwidth needs.
YCrCb Color Model
- For analog video, now used in digital video.
- Y represents luminance.
- Cr and Cb represent color differences.
True Color Image
- A true color image uses 24 bits to represent a color.
Look-Up Table
- A table that maps pixel values (numbers) to colors.
- Used to define colors for images with fewer colors.
Color FAQ
- A common resource listing questions and answers about color.
Anaglyphs
- Images using red-cyan filters to give the appearance of stereo vision.
