Hi guysss..

I am working with segmentation now...i need to convert l a b space color values to l a b vector...how its possible..??what is the difference bwn lab values and lab vector??how tp represent lab space vector??

What have you tried? Where are you stuck?
Use the full words not your own made up words ("bwn", "tp", "guysss")

Sorry for that...i can give more detail about pblm...nw i am working with slic super pixel segmentation

As this algorithm says..convert whole image pixel RGB values to CIE LAB..i converted RGB to LAB....nw i have set of LAB values for all the pixels in my image ..

The next step is i should find Gradient of lab vector.this is the equation to to find image gradient in lab color space...

G(x,y)=I(x+1,y)-I(x-1,y)+I(x,y+1)
-I(x,y-1).

here I(x,y) denotes lab vector at x,y position..

then my doubt is as i said i have set of l a b values(in double format)..how will i apply these values in this gradient equation as lab vector.

..expecting u understand it..

Solution 1

This is a plain wrong question, "how differ"? Just learn how this color space works: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lab_color_space[^].

Most questions about "difference" are inherently invalid. If you didn't get it yet, try to tell use the "difference" between apple and Apple. :-)

Wiki is ok for start a 5. I added also bruce lindbloom in Answer 2. He gives a lot of explanations also.

Solution 2

First try to understand what CIELAB means. Than you will find that your "so called" Lab* Values are the components of a Lab* Vector in the Lab* Colorspace

In very short:
Lab* is a (three dimensinal) colour space. The "*" Comes from history to make a clear difference between the CIE-LAB space and others like Hunter Lab.

See wiki:
CIEAB>[^]

Here you can find all the formulas (including explanation) to convert from e.g. sRGB to XYZ etc.

[EDIT]
Sorry for bad layout, I don't know how to do it better ;)

That is simple vector addition/substratction.You do this component whise.
E.g. (and sorry for the bad representation)

       3    // L*
lab_1= 4    // a*
       2    // b*

       7
lab_2= -1
       1
                     3+7       10
than lab_1 + lab_2=  4+(-1)  =  3
                     2+1        3


And in your case you have simply 4 lab vectors from the source picture you need to calculate:
according to G(x,y)= lab_1 - lab_2 + lab_3 - lab_4 to get the Lab* value in your target gradient.

First ...thanks for ur reply..

Sir actually i converted rgb to l a b values.
i have l a b values corresponding each pixel in the image..

.i can give more detail about pblm...nw i am working with slic super pixel segmentation

As this algorithm says..convert whole image pixel RGB values to CIE LAB..i converted RGB to LAB....nw i have set of LAB values for all the pixels in my image ..

The next step is i should find Gradient of lab vector.this is the equation to to find image gradient in lab color space...

G(x,y)=I(x+1,y)-I(x-1,y)+I(x,y+1)
-I(x,y-1).

here I(x,y) denotes lab vector at x,y position..

then my doubt is as i said i have set of l a b values(in double format)..how will i apply these values in this gradient equation as lab vector...???

I tried to explain it, see modified answer. Sorry for bad layout there.

Thank you very much.

silvsten john 16-Sep-15 6:02am

Thank you very much sir

Then How we can view/output cie lab color mode in image..??

[no name] 16-Sep-15 6:09am

You are welcome.
Look at http://www.brucelindbloom.com/[^] how to calculate Lab back to sRGB, that is the easiest way.

silvsten john 16-Sep-15 7:15am

Ok noted....sir then as i said i working on an copy move forge detection scheme project...in that project the preliminary step is to segment the image by super pixel segmentation....that is what i am doing nw..bt i am taking too much tym to do even the first step this slic based superpixel segmentation...

My doubt is should we write our own code for this modules (eg.superpixel segmentation..).or will i get any open source tools to find
Super pixel segmentation in c# .net ..(bec i downloaded slic implementation in vc++ from a site..bt vc++ does not creating dll files thatswhy i couldnot add as reference to my c# project)

You downloaded the c++ source? Complete? If yes maybe simply code it in c# or migrate it to Visual C++ .NET. For the later you can find some Information on MSDN.
