THE PROJECT OVERVIEW
Project
title
Colour Image Processing
The idea of the project is a research based assignment in which students will be required to explore
the using of different algorithms and features as (texture, colors, shapes , ………) to be able to
differentiate objects based on colors.
2.0
OBJECTIVES OF THIS PROJECT:

Equip students with theoretical and practical knowledge about the different algorithms
applied on image processing and pattern recognition to solve dedicated problem as
identifying objects in a scenario based on the colors and appropriate selection of the color
models.
3.0
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
At the end of this project, the students should be able to:

Explain the operation of a range of imaging and special effects techniques and software.

Construct a software artefact that processes images to provide a solution within a given
problem domain.

Demonstrate the application of appropriate image processing algorithms in the
implementation of a solution for a given problem

PROJECT REQUIREMENTS:
The given assignment must satisfy the following requirements:
Color based object detection
Objects present in a scene may be identified by understanding various features such
as size, shape, contours, color etc. Colors could fundamentally be an effective
method to segment objects from the background. Several different color models
have been proposed in literature to date. In this assignment, it is required to explore
the existing literature on the color models to gain an understanding on how objects
can be segmented using color information.
A simple program should be written to implement the object detection via color
space. Your goal is to be able to differentiate multiple objects within images using a
color space of your choice. A sample illustration is shown below.

A supporting document is needed to reflect the knowledge gained from the literature review
and the choice of the color space made to solve the given problem. The documentation should
include the appropriate justification for the choice of the color models and other essential image
processing operations performed to obtain the results.
