摘要： Systems, devices, and methods performed by program instructions, are provided for color map selection. One method includes instructions which execute to generate a first color map from a set of colors. The instructions execute to generate a second color map from the set of colors and an additional color and to select a color value from between the first color map and the second color map dependent on a presence of the additional color.

摘要： A multi-resolution color image segmentation algorithm which takes advantage of gradient information in an adaptive and progressive framework is described. A gradient-based segmentation method is initiated with a dyadic wavelet decomposition scheme of an arbitrary input image, accompanied by a vector gradient calculation of its color converted counterpart. The resultant gradient map is used to automatically and adaptively generate thresholds for segregating regions of varying gradient densities, at different resolution levels of the input image pyramid. In combination with a confidence map and non-linear spatial filtering techniques, regions of high confidence are passed from one resolution level to another until the final segmentation at highest (original) resolution is achieved.

摘要： A method for segmenting an image receives the image. The image has a number of pixels and a number of color channels. The image is initially segmented into a number of initial regions at least by dynamically selecting a plurality of seeds within the image using a dynamic color gradient threshold and growing the initial regions from the seeds until the initial regions encompass all the pixels of the image. A texture channel of the image is generated at least by applying an entropy filter to each of a plurality of quantized colors of the image. The initial regions into which the image has been initially segmented are multimodal-merged based on the color channels and the texture channel of the image, to yield a number of merged regions corresponding to segmentation of the image.

摘要： Optimally determined halftoning algorithms are applied to tone values by selecting among combinations of at least two algorithms that best address the tradeoff between output quality and rendering performance. Input tone values are scrutinized and matched with the algorithm combination that processes the associated tone values in a manner that increases performance (including data compressibility) without sacrificing output quality. The selection process is computationally simple and fast. Reliability is ensured because the combinations of halftoning algorithms are tabulated as a result of analysis of test samples of the printed output.

摘要： A method for segmenting an image includes computing a color gradient map based on an inputted image and selecting at least one initial seed of at least one pixel based on the color gradient map. The method further includes growing a region of pixels adjacent to the initial seed and merging adjacent regions of pixels using a measure of similarity.

摘要： A method of compressing a set of image data organized into a matrix of pixels includes selecting a multi-pixel block portion of the data, then performing a mathematical function on the multi-pixel block portion to generate a first result. The multi-pixel block portion is divided into at least two segments, and a function is performed on each of the segments to generate a second result and a third result. Based on a comparison of the first, second, and third results, determining whether or not to compress the multi-pixel block portion. The function may be a deviation or mean measurement and serve to determine the noise level and image detail level to determine whether to compress or divide the block into sub blocks. Sub blocks may be recursively analyzed for compression or subdivision until all sub blocks are compressed or divided into single pixels.
