The Height of Chitinous Ridges Alone Produces the Entire Structural Color Palette

Hemant Kumar Raut

The colorful wings of butterflies result from the interaction between light and the intricate chitinous nanostructures on butterflies’ scales. This study demonstrates that just by reproducing the chitinous ridges present in butterfly scales (i.e., without ...

Effect of Indoor Temperature and Glazing with Saturated Color on Visual Perception of Daylight

Marilyne Andersen, Giorgia Chinazzo, Jan Wienold

This paper presents the combined effect of indoor temperature (19 degrees C, 22 degrees C, and 26 degrees C) and colored glazing (blue, orange, and neutral) on visual perception of daylight. Experiments were performed in an office-like test room, in which ...

Wide Gamut Spectral Upsampling with Fluorescence

Wenzel Alban Jakob

Physically based spectral rendering has become increasingly important in recent years. However, asset textures in such systems are usually still drawn or acquired as RGB tristimulus values. While a number of RGB to spectrum upsampling techniques are availa ...

Context-based Quality of Experience in Immersive Multimedia

Anne-Flore Nicole Marie Perrin

Since 1895, when the Lumière brothers came out with the projected cinematograph, motion pictures and more generally multimedia contents have considerably improved and are still experiencing a very dynamic development. Advances involved improving various mo ...

A Low-Dimensional Function Space for Efficient Spectral Upsampling

Wenzel Alban Jakob

We present a versatile technique to convert textures with tristimulus colors into the spectral domain, allowing such content to be used in modern rendering systems. Our method is based on the observation that suitable reflectance spectra can be represented ...

Color Image Segmentation Using a Fuzzy Inference System

Matin Macktoobian

A novel method is proposed in the scope of image segmentation that solves this problem by breaking it into two main blocks. The first block's functionality is a method to anticipate the color basis of each segment in segmented images. One of the challenges ...

Angular Color Prediction Model for Anisotropic Halftone Prints on a Metallic Substrate

Roger Hersch, Petar Pjanic, Lin Yang

Under specular reflection, non-isotropic halftones such as line halftones printed on an ink-receiving plastic layer superposed with a metallic layer change their colors upon in-plane rotation of the print. This color change is due to the orientation-depend ...

Image reproduction with compensation of luminance adaptation

Mahmut Sami Arpa

We introduce an image reproduction model that retargets colors for printing purposes to ensure similar luminance perception under photopic and scotopic vision. Our model is based on the physiological functioning of the rod and cone cells in the retina in v ...

Color changing effects with cross-halftone prints

Roger Hersch, Petar Pjanic

We propose new methods for creating color varying prints with classical cyan, magenta, yellow inks on a metallic specularly reflecting or on a white diffusely reflecting substrate. We use a special cross-line halftone with optimized surface coverages of th ...

Color Changing Prints on a Metallic Substrate

Petar Pjanic

Printing on a flat metallic substrate has gained popularity in recent years. The reflection of light on a specularly reflecting metallic substrate differs strongly from the reflection of light on a diffusely reflecting medium such as paper. Direct prints o ...

Evaluation of Color Mapping Algorithms in Different Color Spaces

Touradj Ebrahimi

The color gamut supported by current commercial displays is only a subset of the full spectrum of colors visible by the human eye. In High-Definition (HD) television technology, the scope of the supported colors covers 35.9% of the full visible gamut. For ...
