Color Space and Color Image Processing
Color Space and Color Image Processing
• color space means the use of a specific color model or system which turns
colors into numbers. each color model is a method of creating many colors
from a group of primary colors.
• Color spaces are different types of color modes. these are used in image
processing , signals and systems for various purposes.
COLOR MODELS
• A color model is a system that helps us to define and describe colors through
numerical values. There are many types of color models that use different
mathematical systems to represent colors, although most color models
typically use a combination of three or four values or color components.
• Some popular color models used across the design industry are:
• RGB (Red, Green, Blue)
• CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black)
• HSI (hue, saturation, intensity)

• Most color models in use today are either based on hardware (color camera,
printer) or on applications involving color manipulation (computer graphics,
animation). •
• In image processing, the hardware based color models mainly used are: RGB,
CMYK, and HSI.
• The RGB (red, green, blue) color system is used mainly in color monitors and
video cameras.
• The CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) color system is used in printing
devices.
• The HSI (hue, saturation, intensity) is based on the way humans describe and
interpret color. It also helps in separating the color and grayscale information in an
image.
