Kansei Impression and Automated Color Image Arrangement Methods (incl. erratum)

This paper proposes a new color image arrangement method using an elastic transform on some kinds of axes. In this paper, we present the principle of our method using HMGD (Histogram Matching based on Gaussian Distribution). And we describe that the automated method applies the HMGD to input color image only when the image has single-peakedness in its histogram on the focused axis. And we describe about HPA-HMGD (Histogram Peakedness Adaptive HMGD) as improvement HMGD. We also show that the method gives a good Kansei effect in the case of applying the HMGD onto Brightness axis. Moreover, we compare processing results of the HPA- HMGD and HMGD, we show that HPA-HMGD is better.
