1 IFSA-EUSFLAT 009 New Fuzzy Color Clusterig Algorithm Based o hsl Similarity Vasile Ptracu Departmet of Iformatics Techology Tarom Compay Bucharest Romaia patrascu.v@gmail.com Abstract I this paper oe presets a fuzzy color clusterig algorithm that is based o a ew measure of similarity. This ew measure of color similarity is defied o a perceptual color system called hsl. Keywords Color similarity fuzzy color clusterig hsl perceptual color system. 1 Itroductio The color clusterig algorithms play a importat role i image aalysis. The obtaied results are very depedet o the coordiate system ad similarity/dissimilarity fuctios used for color separatio [1] [4] [5] ad [6]. I this paper oe proposes the use of a perceptual system hsl. I the framework of this system a ew measure is proposed for the color similarity. I the followig sectios the paper is thus orgaized: sectio presets the system hsl for color represetatio based o ew measures of lumiosity L ad saturatio S ; sectio 3 presets distaces ad similarities for each compoet of the hsl system; sectio 4 presets the ew color similarity; sectio 5 presets the color clusterig algorithm based o the proposed similarity; sectio 6 presets the experimetal results ad coclusios are i sectio 7. The perceptual color system hsl The most part of the color images are represeted by the RGB color system. Image aalysis is doe i the perceptual coordiate systems. Oe of them is the hsl system h is the hue ad a agular value; S is the saturatio ad lastly L is the lumiosity. I this paper we will use the followig formulae for the defiitio of the hsl compoets: M L 1 M m ( M m S (1 1 M 0.5 m 0.5 B G R B G h ata 6 : M max( R G B m mi( R G B We suppose that R G B [01]. Accordig to the cosidered formulae for the defiitio of the compoets hsl it results that L S [01] ad h ( ]. I order to have a uitary cosideratio for the three color compoets hsl we will scale the lumiosity L ad the saturatio S from [ 01] to 0 by formulae: l L ( s S Thus ay color q from RGB space will have the followig represetatio i the hsl space: M l 1 M m M m s 1 M 0.5 m 0.5 B G R B G h ata 6 3 Distaces ad similarities for the values hsl We kow that for two agular values a good measure for distace is based o the si fuctio amely: (3 d ( si (4 Thus for the hue the distace is give by the fuctio: h1 h d h ( h1 h si (5 Usig the formula (4 for the saturatio s ad lumiosity l we obtai their values i the iterval 1 0 because l s 0. Cosequetly we will multiply the formula (4 with the factor ad thus we will obtai the values i 48

2 IFSA-EUSFLAT 009 the whole iterval [ 01]. I this way the distaces for lumiosity ad saturatio will be defied by: l1 l d l ( l1 l si (6 s1 s d s ( s1 s si (7 I this paper we will take ito accout that the square of distace is a good measure of dissimilarity ad the egatio of dissimilarity is a good measure of similarity. I other words if d is the distace ad is the similarity the the followig relatio exists betwee them: 1 d (8 Havig the distace defiitios we will the defie the similarity fuctio for lumiosity ad saturatio l ( l1 l 1 dl ( l1 l cos( l1 l s ( s1 s 1 d s ( s1 s cos( s1 s ad ext for the hue: h1 h h ( h1 h 1 d h ( h1 h cos (10 4 The hsl color similarity We will iitially defie the chromaticity c ad the achromaticity a for a color havig as saturatio the value s : c si( s a cos( s (9 (11 The followig relatio betwee these two defied parameters is obvious: a c 1 (1 We will cosider two colors q 1 defied by parameters ( h 1 s1 l1( h s l. We will add to these parameters the chromaticity coefficiets c 1 c ad achromaticity coefficiets a 1 a computed by formulae (11. Now we defie the similarity betwee two colors by formula: ( q1 c1c h ( h1 h a1a l ( l1 l (13 Seeig the formula (13 oe remarks that this ew color similarity measure is a liear ad adaptive combiatio betwee the hues similarity ad lumiosities similarity. Thus for two chromatic colors the mai compoet is give by the hues similarity ad for two achromatic colors the mai compoet is give by the lumiosities similarity. We ca see that whe a color is chromatic ad the other is achromatic the similarity has small values. This is othig else tha the two cosidered colors are quite o-similar. Also we ca see that i formula (13 the saturatios similarity does ot appear directly but it exists some i backgroud. The formula (13 has the followig equivalet form: h1 h ( q1 si( s1 si( s cos cos( s1 cos( s cos( l1 l Takig ito accout that: h1 h cos 1 cos( l1 l 1 it results from (14 this iequality: amely ( q1 si( s1 si( s cos( s1 cos( s ad fially we obtai that: ( q1 cos( s1 s (14 (15 ( q1 s ( s1 s (16 The formula (16 shows that if the saturatios of the two colors have a low similarity the the two colors have a low similarity too ad if the two colors are strogly similar the their saturatios are strogly similar as well. Also from (15 ad (16 it results the followig implicatios: q q 1 ( 1 h ( h1 h 1 l ( l1 l 1 s ( s1 s 1 h1 h l1 l s1 s Usig the formula (8 we ca defie the distace betwee two colors i the hsl space as: d( q1 1 ( q1 (17 We ca state that formula (17 defies a metric because it verifies the followig three metric properties: d ( q1 0 q1 d( q1 d( q1 d( q1 d( q3 d( q1 q3 A detailed proof of these three properties is ot a subject of this paper ad thus ot cosidered here. 49
