ABSTRACT

A color reproduction technique is a study in which the color information of the reference image is expressed in the input image. Previous studies makes natural color transferred results by allowing the input image to have a distribution of colors with reference images. However, if reference images are used with works by famous artists, their characteristics are not properly expressed. This is because works by famous artists use limited colors, and color harmonized pattern. In this study, we propose novel color reproduction techniques which use artist's work as a reference image and reflects the characteristics of the reference image. Our algorithm consists of two stages. The first step is the reference image analysis phase. For this purpose, the representative colors used in the reference images were extracted using K-means clustering algorithms. And the color harmonization patterns that the work has were analyzed by analyzing what forms are composed between the representative colors of the reference image. The second stage is the color transfer phase using the analysis information. For this, we use image saliency algorithm to extract the most focusing color of the input image. Image saliency is a study that extracts the most visible areas of the image, making it the most visible color of the input images viewed by the area with the highest visibility. The rest of the region applied the color harmonization pattern of the reference image. Our algorithm can easily generate result images that express the color harminized pattern effects of works used as reference images.
