Image State

Most modern cameras allow captured images to be saved in two color spaces: (1) raw-RGB and (2) standard RGB (sRGB). The raw-RGB image represents a scene-referred sensor image whose RGB values are specific to the color sensitivities of the sensor's color filter array. The sRGB image represents a display-referred image that has been rendered through the camera's image signal processor (ISP). The rendering process involves several camera-specific photo-finishing manipulations intended to make the sRGB image visually pleasing. For applications that want to use a camera for purposes beyond photography, both the raw-RGB and sRGB color spaces are undesirable. For example, because the raw-RGB color space is dependent on the camera's sensor, it is challenging to develop applications that work across multiple cameras. Similarly, the camera-specific photo-finishing operations used to render sRGB images also hinder applications intended to run on different cameras. Interestingly, the ISP camera pipeline includes a colorimetric conversion stage where the raw-RGB images are converted to a device-independent color space. However, this image state is not accessible. In this paper, we advocate for the ability to access the colorimetric image state and recommend that cameras output a third image format that is based on this device-independent colorimetric space. To this end, we perform experiments to demonstrate that image pixel values in a colorimetric space are more similar across different makes and models than sRGB and raw-RGB.

General Method

Modern embedded portable devices usually have to deal with large amounts of video data. Due to massive floating-point multiplications, the color space conversion is inefficient on the embedded processor. Considering the characteristics of RGB to YCbCr color space conversion, this paper proposed a strategy for truncated-based LUT Multiplier (T-LUT Multiplier). On this base, an original approach converting RGB to YCbCr is presented which employs the T-LUT Multiplier and the pipeline-based adder. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can obtain maximum operating frequency of 358MHz, 3.5 times faster than the direct method. Furthermore, the power consumption is less than that of the general method approximately by 15%~27%.

Rgb Color Space

A color space used to create color on a computer monitor or a television screen is RGB color space. However, RGB color space is strongly related to each other, therefore RGB color space is inadequate for adjustment of brightness or contrast. Moreover RGB color space is not suitable for pattern recognition. For this reason, it is needed that color space conversion from RGB to YIQ, YUV or YCrCb. The color space conversion matrix consists of 3 by 3 matrix element that is represented by floating point numbers. However RGB or YUV color space is in integer domain. Therefore these transform lead to lose the least significant bit (LSB) of color space. We propose the simple and fast reversible transform matrix. No lose the least significant bit (LSB) and not required multiplication but shift and addition that provides for real time conversion of huge image.

Thresholding Algorithm

In gesture recognition systems, segmenting gestures from complex background is the hardest and the most critical part. Gesture segmentation is the prerequisite of following image processing, and the result of segmentation has a direct influence on the result of gesture recognition. This paper proposed an algorithm of adaptive threshold gesture segmentation based on skin color. First of all, the image should be transformed from RGB color space to YCbCr color space. After eliminating luminance component Y, similarity graph of skin color will be obtained from the Gaussian model. Then Otsu adaptive threshold algorithm is used to carry out binary processing for the similarity graph of skin color. After the segmentation of skin color regions, the morphology method is used to process binary image for determining the location of hands. Experimental results show that the detailed segmentation of skin color using the dynamic-adaptive threshold can improve noise resistance and can produce better results.

Color space conversion is the process of converting color values in an image from one color space to another. Color space conversion is challenging because different color spaces have different sized gamuts. For example, when converting an image encoded in a medium-sized color gamut (e.g., AdobeRGB or Display-P3) to a small color gamut (e.g., sRGB), color values may need to be compressed in a many-to-one manner (i.e., multiple colors in the source gamut will map to a single color in the target gamut). If we try to convert this sRGB-encoded image back to a wider gamut color encoding, it can be challenging to recover the original colors due to the color fidelity loss. We propose a method to address this problem by embedding wide-gamut metadata inside saved images captured by a camera. Our key insight is that in the camera hardware, a captured image is converted to an intermediate wide-gamut color space (i.e., ProPhoto) as part of the processing pipeline. This wide-gamut image representation is then saved to a display color space and saved in an image format such as JPEG or HEIC. Our method proposes to include a small sub-sampling of the color values from the ProPhoto image state in the camera to the final saved JPEG/HEIC image. We demonstrate that having this additional wide-gamut metadata available during color space conversion greatly assists in constructing a color mapping function to convert between color spaces. Our experiments show our metadata-assisted color mapping method provides a notable improvement (up to 60% in terms of E) over conventional color space methods using perceptual rendering intent. In addition, we show how to extend our approach to perform adaptive color space conversion based spatially over the image for additional improvements.

 Image forgery or manipulation by using the multimedia technology is becoming a challenging issue. The most common type of image forgery is copy-move forgery where some part of one image is copied and spliced in the other image. In this article, first the images in RGB color space is converted into YCbCr color space and the four-level discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is implemented to detect image forgery. The output of the DWT is further processed by using the image gradient technique for the edge detection of spliced objects. Morphological operation and Wiener filtering are applied for locating the tempered region in the forged image. Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy calculated for spliced images of CASIA datasets are obtained 89%, 86% and 88% respectively.

Since there are a number of color spaces, it has always been a big question to choose one for watermarking. The aim of this work is to find out better color space, among the frequently used one, under the same condition. Comparative performance analysis of color image watermarking technique in color channels of RGB, YUV, YCbCrcolor spaces was studied. For this purpose, color channels were watermarked using single level discrete wavelet transform-singular value decomposition (DWT-SVD). PSNR, and SSIM were used to test the imperceptibility of watermarked images. PSNR and NCC were used to measure the similarity of extracted and original watermarks.The maximum recorded PSNR value is 62.372 for R channel of RGB color space with SSIM value equal to 0.9709. Color channels of YCbCr color space were observed to be more robust and transparent as watermark image is best recovered from YCbCr color space with NCC values in the range 0.86 to 0.877 and SSIM values in the range 0.546to 0.554 under various geometric attacks.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/njst.v15i2.12130Nepal Journal of Science and Technology Vol. 15, No.2 (2014) 133-140

In this paper, we propose a quantized YCbCr color space (QYCbCr) technique which is employed in standard JPEG. The objective of this work is to accelerate computational time of the standard JPEG image compression algorithm. This is a development of the standard JPEG which is named QYCBCr algorithm. It merges two processes i.e., YCbCr color space conversion and Q quantization in which in the standar JPEG they were performed separately. The merger forms a new single integrated process of color conversion which is employed prior to DCT process by subsequently eliminating the quantization process. The equation formula of QYCbCr color coversion is built based on the chrominance and luminance properties of the human visual system which derived from quatization matrices. Experiment results performed on images of different sizes show that the computational running time of QYCbCr algorithm gives 4 up to 8 times faster than JPEG standard, and also provides higher compression ratio and better image quality.
