Guest Editorial: Special Issue on Applied Color Image Processing

摘要

Color image processing has established itself as a very important research area primarily due to the rapid development of image sensors, digital imaging and visual communication technologies, image databases, and video and multimedia systems. Extraordinary growth in the technologies and applications for color image processing has allowed for many interesting results concerning filtering, enhancement, restoration, edge detection, analysis, compression, manipulation, and evaluation of color images. The proliferation of digital cameras, image-enabled consumer electronics, color displays and printers has further underscored the importance of conducting systematic research in the field of color image processing.
