• Abstract: For many years, channels of a color image have been processed individually, or the image has been converted to grayscale one with respect to color image processing. Pure quaternion representation of color images solves this issue as it allows images to be processed in a holistic space. Nevertheless, it brings additional costs due to the extra fourth dimension. In this paper, we propose an approach for representing color images with full quaternion numbers that enables us to process color images holistically without additional cost in time, space and computation. With taking auto- and cross-correlation of color channels into account, an autoencoder neural network is used to generate a global model for transforming a color image into a full quaternion matrix. To evaluate the model, we use UCID dataset, and the results indicate that the model has an acceptable performance on color images. Moreover, we propose a compression method based on the generated model and QSVD as a case study. The method is compared with the same compression method using pure quaternion representation and is assessed with UCID dataset. The results demonstrate that the compression method using the proposed full quaternion representation fares better than the other in terms of time, quality, and size of compressed files.

  We present Language-based video colorization for Creative and Consistent Colors (L-C4) Our model is built upon a pre-trained cross-modality generative model.

  Cross-channel deblurring problem in color image processing is difficult to solve due to complex coupling and structural blurring of color pixels. We present a novel cross-space total variation (CSTV) regularization model for color image deblurring.

  We propose a novel learnable context-aware 4-dimensional lookup table (4D LUT) It achieves content-dependent enhancement of different contents in each image via adaptively learning of photo context. Compared with traditional 3D LUT, i.e., RGB mapping to RGB, 4D LUT enables finer control of color transformations for pixels with different content in each image.

  We propose a novel image retouching method by modeling the retouching process as performing a sequence of newly introduced trainable neural color operators. The neural color operator mimics the behavior of traditional color operators and learns pixelwise color transformation while its strength is controlled by a scalar. Our method consistently achieves the best results compared with SOTA methods in both quantitative measures and visual qualities.

  We propose a color quantization network, ColorCNN, which learns to structure the images from the classification loss in an end-to-end manner. With only a 1-bit color space (i.e., two colors), the proposed network achieves 82.1% top-1 accuracy on the CIFAR10 dataset. For applications, when encoded with PNG, the proposed color quantization shows superiority over other image compression methods in the extremely low bit-rate regime.
