Abstract

In this paper, we propose the method which transfers the color style of a source image into an arbitrary given reference image. Misidentification problem of color cause wrong indexing in low saturation. Therefore, the proposed method does indexing after image separating chromatic and achromatic color from saturation. The proposed method is composed of the following four steps. In the first step, using threshold, pixels in image are separated chromatic and achromatic color components from saturation. In the second step, separated pixels are indexed using cylindrical metric. In the third step, the number and positional dispersion of pixel decide the order of priority for each index color. And average and standard deviation of each index color be calculated. In the final step, color be transferred in Lab color space, and post processing to removal noise and pseudo-contour. Experimental results show that the proposed method is effective on indexing and color transfer.
