Colour Image Processing Techniques

  • 445 Accesses

Abstract

With rapid advancements in computer technology, colour image processing systems are now available at affordable prices. A proper understanding of the colour image processing techniques requires an understanding of the various models for colour representation. Apart from this, one needs to know the spectral response of the colour camera and the light source. The type of colour image processing hardware used for transmission or reflection photoelastic analysis has an influence on the quality of data acquisition. Data interpretation and analysis requires the understanding of the intensity of light transmitted, for various polariscope arrangements, in white light
