Color Transfer Methods Based on Distribution of Color Gradation and KANSEI Evaluation

Abstract

We proposed a new color transfer method using a gradation plate which we defined as features obtained from the color distribution of images before. The method involves such process as moving the gradation plate of a target image close to the gradation plate of the referred image which has the intended tones. Then recognizing that, it is a subject to evaluate the results objectively. To that end, we conduct the sensibility evaluation experiments of this color transfer method, and here we report the results. By this experiment, we show one case that the impression of an object image is suitably close to the impression of a referred image and another case that transferring is not done effectively. We discuss the ways to improve the latter case.
