Color is difficult to distinguish by human vision and is described by keywords, resulting in low efficiency of wool fabric retrieval in factories at present. To obtain the process sheets of existing products and reduce the work of color measurement in sample analysis, this paper proposes an effective method based on dominant colors (DCs) and color moments (CMs) for wool fabric image retrieval. Firstly, the image was scaled to reduce computational time. Then, the hue, saturation, value color space was divided into 128 parts by the fast color quantization algorithm to extract the DCs of the image. Meanwhile, the CMs based on image partition were calculated in CIE L* a* b* color space to describe the spatial color information. Subsequently, different similarity measure methods were carried out based on the DC feature and CM feature. Finally, experiments were conducted on a wool fabric image database with 20,000 images for parameter optimization and verification. The average precision and recall were up to 87% and 44%, respectively. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme can retrieve images with the same or similar colors quickly and effectively and it outperformed other methods, providing referential assistance for the factory worker when retrieving wool fabrics.

An efficient non-uniform color quantization and similarity measurement methods are proposed to enhance the content-based image retrieval (CBIR) applications. The HSV color space is selected because it is close to human visual perception system, and a non-uniform color method is proposed to quantize an image into 37 colors. The marker histogram (MH) vector of size 296 values is generated by segmenting the quantized image into 8 regions (multiplication of 45°) and count the occurrences of the quantized colors in their particular angles. To cope with rotated images, an incremental displacement to the MH is applied 7 times. To find similar images, we proposed a new similarity measurement and other 4 existing metrics. A uniform color quantization of related work is implemented too and compared to our quantization method. One-hundred test images are selected from the Corel-1000 images database. Our experimental results conclude high retrieving precision ratios compared to other techniques.

Facing the existing digital image libraries on landscape, researchers need to urgently solve a challenging problem: how to realize rational management and accurate retrieval of landscape images that contain feature information like hierarchy, layout, color system, and color matching. For accurate organization and labeling of landscape Images, this paper presents a novel method for feature extraction and image retrieval of landscape images based on image processing. Firstly, a color quantization process was designed for landscape images, and used to analyze the color composition and color space pattern (CSP) of such images. Next, the existing methods, which are suitable for the extraction of color features from landscape Images, were briefly reviewed, and the basic flows of our improved algorithm and division method of landscape color blocks (LCBs) were explained. Finally, the retrieval performance of landscape images was improved by matching of weighted color blocks of regional landscape, based on the multi-dimensional color eigenvectors of landscape image. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm. The research results shed light on the feature extraction from other types of color images.

Duplicated images cause several problems in online sites, so these demand special attention. To address the disadvantages of frames copy detection, the Hybrid Method of Detecting Duplicate Image by Using Image Retrieval Technique in Data Mining was proposed. We use the new method of eliminating duplicates in this example. To address the disadvantages of frames copy detection, the Hybrid Method of Detecting Duplicate Image by Using Image Retrieval Technique in Data Mining was proposed. The new method of eliminating duplicates in this example has proposed. Using this method, you can get rid of frames that aren't relevant to the video. This makes for more precise and faster video retrieval with fewer duplicates. As a back end, this technique is implemented in C# and SQL. The findings are put to the test and compared to the current SIFT process. The results showed that the output improved accuracy while reducing storage space, computational time, and memory use.

The clasification of ripeness stages of oil palm fresh fruit bunches (FFBs) can be done using color parameters. These parameters are often evaluated by human vision, whose degree of accuracy is subjective which can cause doubt in judgement. Automatic clasifications offreshfruit bunches (FFBs) based on color parameters can be done using computer vision. This method is known as a nondestructive, fast and cost effective method. In this research, a MATLAB computer program has been developed which consists of RGB and HSV GUI which is used to record, display, and process FFB image data. The backpropagation artificial neural network (ANN) program is also developed which is used to classify the oil palm fruit fresh bunches (FFBs). Samples are fresh fruit bunches (FFB) of oil palm varieties of Tenera which comprise of Topaz, Marihat, and Lonsum clones. Each clone composed of three levels of ripeness represented by five fractions. The measurements were started by capturing images of oil palm, extracting RGB and HSV values, calculating weight values from the image database to make anANN program, preparing grid programs for oil palm FFBs, and comparing grading levels of oil palm FFBs using program and by harvester. This program successfully classified oil palm (FFBs) into three categories of ripeness which are unripe (F0 and F1), ripe (F1 and F1) and over ripe (F4 and F5). The RGB and HSV programs successfully classified 79 out of 216 FFBs or 36.57% and 106 out of 216 TBS or 49.07%. Respectively the HSV program is better than RGB program because the representation of HSV color space are more understood by human perception hence can be used in calibration and color comparison.

Aim: The purpose of the present study is to assess the color stability of two calcium silicate-based cements (CSCs) used in regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs). Methods: A total of 40 acrylic single-rooted transparent teeth, with immature apex, were used. Root canals were filled up to 3 mm below the level of the cementoenamel junction, with either saline solution (Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA)/saline and Biodentine/saline) or blood (MTA/blood and Biodentine/blood). Subsequently, ProRoot MTA® or BiodentineTM was placed in the root canal to create a cervical barrier. Color measurement was carried out at four different evaluation periods (3 h, 72 h, 7 days, and 6 months). Shade analysis within the L* a* b* color space was performed and color variation (∆E) calculated. The significance level for statistical analysis was set at p < 0.05. Results: The four groups showed a significant decrease in L* values over time. The ΔE value increased over time for all groups but was not statistically significant for the Biodentine/blood group. Two-way ANOVA showed no interaction between the CSC and treatment (contact with saline solution or blood). CSC used was the factor responsible for ΔE over time, inducing statistically significant color variations from T3H to T7D (p = 0.04) and T3H to T6M (p < 0.01). After 6 months, MTA/saline had 5.08 (p = 0.001) higher ΔE than Biodentine/Saline and the MTA/blood had 3.65 (p = 0.009) higher than Biodentine/blood. Conclusions: After 6 months, regardless of blood exposure, Biodentine exhibits superior color stability compared to MTA. Biodentine might be a suitable alternative to MTA as a cervical barrier material in REPs.
