Fuzzy Color Space Segmentation to Identify the Same Dominant Colors as Users.
Jose C. Amante, Manuel J. Fonseca · Distributed Multimedia Systems · 2012
In this paper we propose a solution for the identification of the dominant colors in pictures taking into account the way people perceive them. To that end we developed an algorithm based on a reduced palette of 12 colors and on a non-uniform segmentation of the HSV color space using fuzzy membership functions. Experimental results from an evaluation with users, showed that our algorithm based on the fuzzy histogram is able to identify the same three dominant colors as users in 50% of the cases, while the classic histogram is only able to identify 43%.
