Color quantization of images

Orchard, M.T., Bouman, C.A.·1991·IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing

Abstract

The authors develop algorithms for the design of hierarchical tree structured color palettes incorporating performance criteria which reflect subjective evaluations of image quality. Tree structured color palettes greatly reduce the computational requirements of the palette design and pixel mapping tasks, while allowing colors to be properly allocated to densely populated areas of the color space. The algorithms produce higher-quality displayed images and require fewer computations than previously proposed methods. Error diffusion techniques are commonly used for displaying images which have been quantized to very few levels. Problems related to the application of error diffusion techniques to the display of color images are discussed. A modified error diffusion technique is shown to be easily implemented using the tree structured color palettes developed earlier.>

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
