GUEST EDITORS
THEO GEVERS
GRAHAM FINLAYSON
RAIMONDO SCHETTINI
OBJECTIVE
With the growth of the Internet and developments in imaging
technology, very large digital image archives have been created and
used in numerous applications. Together with the increase in the
number of pictorial archives, demands are also growing for
methodologies and techniques to store and retrieve pictorial entities
from large image archives. It is known that colour provides powerful
information for data analysis, recognition and visualization. As a
consequence, colour has become a center of interest as a powerful
tool in content-based image retrieval, opening many new directions of
research and technology.
TOPICS
In this special issue, we focus on the use of colour in the
exploration of image data repositories for the purpose of
content-based image access. As long as the primary focus is on
colour, the special issue will include the following topics:
+ Colour feature extraction
+ Colour image filtering
+ Colour image segmentation
+ Colour models and spaces
+ Colour-texture models
+ Combining colour and shape information
+ Colour invariance and colour constancy
+ Chromatic adaptation
+ Handling shadows and illumination
+ Physics-based matching
+ Perceptual-based indexing and retrieval
+ Compression of colour image content
+ Colour image indexing
+ Colour image classification
+ Colour-based feature selection
+ Applications (face, trademark, flowers etc.)
