Color quantization is an important operation with many applications in graphics and image processing. Clustering algorithms have been extensively applied to this problem. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective color quantization method based on divisive hierarchical clustering. Our method utilizes the commonly used binary splitting strategy along with several carefully selected heuristics...
Color quantization is an important operation with many applications in graphics and image processing. Most quantization methods are essentially based on data clustering algorithms. Recent studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of hard c-means (k-means) clustering algorithm in this domain. Other studies reported similar findings pertaining to the fuzzy c-means algorithm. Interestingly, none of...
Reduced ordering based nonlinear vector filters have proved successful in removing long-tailed noise from color images while preserving edges and fine image details. These filters commonly utilize variants of the Minkowski distance to order the color vectors with the aim of distinguishing between noisy and noise-free vectors. In this paper, we review various alternative distance measures and evaluate...
Vector filters based on order-statistics have proved successful in removing impulsive noise from color images while preserving edges and fine image details. Among these filters, the ones that involve the cosine distance function (directional filters) have particularly high computational requirements, which limits their use in time critical applications. In this paper, we introduce two methods to speed...
