Abstract

In this paper, we will discuss about why the RGB color space is nowadays always used in color image analysis and how the L*a*b* and the L*H*C* color spaces can be best used in computer processes. Then, we will propose several solutions to digitize these color spaces and to best characterize relevant information on each color histograms.

Keywords : color digitization, color histogram analysis, color space
