In this paper, we endeavour to reduce the computational resources by introducing a hybrid convex hull algorithm, which is able to extract the convex hull vertices directly from a binary image without going through the edge detection process. Bresenham algorithm is embedded within Jarvis March to replace most of the work required in the edge detection process. In this respect, our pre-processing step is simple and detect only four global extreme points' extraction.

Compression of these data is therefore an important problem. A common approach is to use principal components analysis (PCA) as a way of reducing the data requirements as part of a lossy compression strategy. In this paper, we employ the fast MCD (Minimum Covariance Determinant) algorithm, as a highly robust estimator of multivariate mean and covariance, to detect outlier spectra in a multi-spectral image. We then show that by removing the outliers from the main dataset, the performance of PCA in spectral compression significantly increases. However, since outlier spectra are a part of the image, they cannot simply be ignored. Our strategy is to cluster the outliers into a small number of groups and then compress each group separately using its own cluster-specific PCAderived bases. Overall, we show that significantly better compression can be achieved with this approach. Introduction Conventional 3-channel image color imaging devices capture limited spectral information about each scene location. RGB images are device-dependent in that they depend on the spectral sensitivity functions, which may differ from one device to another. In addition, the RGB color information depends on the scene illuminant. A change in illuminant leads to the problems of metamerism. The limitations of 3-channel color imagery, especially when high-fidelity color reproduction is required as, for example, in the reproduction and conservation of fine arts painting, are frequently overcome by moving to multi-spectral image capture [1-4]. The spectral reflectance defines an excellent “fingerprint” of a surface and provides the most useful information for color specification under any illuminant and for any observer. In the last decade, multi-spectral imaging has gained a growing interest in several applications such as color reproduction [4-5], medical imaging [6], art conservation science and digital image archives with high color accuracy [1-4]. Unlike typical digital photography, the multi-spectral imaging systems based on acquiring the spectral reflectance at each pixel of an image provide a device-independent representation that can be rendered as a correct color under any viewing condition. Although the extra information provided by a multispectral imaging device can be very useful, the large amount of data can be a problem in terms of storage and communication requirements. Digital image compression is an important task in image processing and provides efficient solutions for storage of a large volume of image data [7-9]. It is well documented that the spectral reflectance of a non-fluorescent objects is generally a smooth function of wavelength, and therefore can be modeled via dimensionality reduction techniques. In the other words, the smooth spectral reflectances are usually highly correlated and can be represented as a linear combination of a few basis vect","PeriodicalId":252236,"journal":{"name":"Computer Graphics, Imaging and Visualization","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128649490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ID patterns are detected from overlaid markers by splitting an input image in red, green and blue channel image. The overlaid order is estimated with the use of average color in the estimation area of overlaid order. Moreover this marker can estimate the relative degree of rotation angle between markers. To evaluate the performance of the proposed marker, we measured the misalignment which can be permitted when detecting each marker and the accuracy of estimated relative angle of the rotation. Moreover the maximum angle which can detect each marker between camera and marker is measured.","PeriodicalId":252236,"journal":{"name":"Computer Graphics, Imaging and Visualization","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133896127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To demonstrate the framework's strength we apply it to two well known tasks: assessing memory colors and finding the color values for a given color name (color naming). We emphasize that we solve these tasks fully automatic without any psychophysical experiment or human intervention. Further, we outline the potential of our automatic framework and in particular the significance for the imaging community.","PeriodicalId":252236,"journal":{"name":"Computer Graphics, Imaging and Visualization","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130769159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
