RESUMO

Inspired on the techniques used by painters to overlap layers of various hues of paint to create oil paintings, and also on observations of the distribution of cones in human retina for the interpretation of these colors, this thesis proposes an image processing technique based on color mixing. This is a static color quantization method that expresses the mixture of black, blue, green, cyan, red, magenta, yellow and white colors quantified by the binary weight of the color that makes up the pixels of an RGB image with 8 bits per channel. The mixture histogram, called a mixturegram, generates planes that intersect the RGB color space, defining the HSM (Hue, Saturation and Mixture) color space. The position of these planes inside the RGB cube is modeled by the distribution of cones sensitive to the short (S), middle (M) and long (L) wave lengths of the human retina. To demonstrate the applicability of the HSM color space, this thesis proposes the segmentation of the pixels of a digital image of human skin or non-skin using this new approach. The performance of the color mixture is analyzed by implementing a traditional method in the RGB color space and by a Gaussian distribution in the HSV and HSM color spaces. The results demonstrate the potential of the proposed technique for color image segmentation. It was also noted that, based only on the most significant layer of the colors mixture, it is possible generates the face sketch image. The results show the performance of the face sketch image in CBIR applications.
