A color extraction algorithm by segmentation
Abstract
Abstract The segmentation and extraction on color features can provide useful information for many different application domains. However, most of the existing image processing algorithms on feature extraction are gray image-based and consider only one-dimensional parameters. In order to carry out a fast and accurate color feature extraction, this paper proposes a color extraction algorithm by segmentation that is called a color extraction algorithm This algorithm is compared under different color distribution situations, and the extraction effect on color is also shown by the combination of the segmentation and feature extraction algorithms. Experimental results show that such segmentation algorithm has some advantages for color segmentation. In the fuzzy color image preprocessing, this paper gives the location method of region of interest. Moreover, compared with other existing extraction algorithms, the presented segmentation extraction algorithm in this paper not only has higher accuracy, shorter extraction time and stronger anti-interference ability, but also has better effect on more divergent color edge. Experimental evaluation of the proposed color extraction algorithm demonstrates dominance over existing algorithms for feature extraction. These researches in this paper provide a new way of thinking for color feature extraction by segmentation, which has an important theoretical references and practical significance.
