Perceiving a color difference is different from identifying the colors causing the difference. The former is a subtask of the latter that involves the tasks of color identification and color difference perception. In this raper, a technique capable of detecting specific color edges in an image is proposed. Instead of developing an efficient algorithm for detecting edges caused by specific colors, we prefer a process that can be effectively implemented in hardware. The proposed process first calculates the differences of the individual color components of each pixel. Next, the colors causing the differences are identified by analyzing the calculated differences of color components. An architecture realizing the process using an FPGA-based SOPC is detailed. The architecture is readily parallelizable and allows users to specify the colors that form the edges to be located.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
