A paper I wrote three years ago, as a result of my masters research, has been finally sent to print. This is a non-technical introduction to the issue. Read the whole paper here: pdf or html. This is quoted from here.

This is a work I did a long while ago, during my masters. The aim of this research was to capitalize on the concept of principal colors, suggested by us, and exploit it in order to carry out image processing tasks on color images.

In short, having collected a set of images which correspond to the same material, for example a set of skin images as shown below, we proposed a method for extracting the principal color related to this material, through intersecting the corresponding cylindrical representations.

This approach then leads to color image segmentation, as one application.

For extensive discussion of the topic, please refer to the paper “Principal Color and Its Application to Color Image Segmentation“, or its html compilation.
