Abstract

Color plays an important role in the human perception and interpretation of the visual world. It is therefore not surprising that in many application areas manufacturers and consumers have been losing interest in conventional grayscale imaging and have been turning instead to its information-richer, color-driven counterpart. An explosive growth in the diversity of image and video processing solutions developed in the past decade has resulted, among others, in a number of commercial products for digital imaging and multimedia applications where color provides crucial information for both human observers and data processing machines. Methods for representing and using color for the purpose of image and video acquisition, processing, analysis, storage, displaying, printing, quantitative manipulation and image quality evaluation in such applications are surveyed in this chapter.
