The three components of the color images enhance the images directly in the RGB color space, will cause distortion of the image. So our paper will convert true color image from RGB space to YIQ space, the holomorphic filtering and histogram equalization are executed on Y component to make the image enhancement, the Y component contains a lot of image information; finally, the image is converted from YIQ color space to RGB color space once again. Experimental results show that the approach which were proposed in the paper, Combined with the method of holomorphic filtering and histogram equalization to overcome the uneven illumination, the image is dark and other shortcomings to achieve satisfactory enhancement.

For the purpose of realizing fast and effective detection of defects of yarn-dyed fabric, and in consideration of the inherent characteristics of texture, i.e., color and structure, an approach for automatic defect detection is proposed in this paper. The image of yarn-dyed fabric to be enhanced is first converted from RGB true color space to L*a*b* color space. Then Log-gabor filters filter chromatic and brightness channels, and energy feature images are acquired after energy is fused between chromatic and brightness. Finally defects of yarn-dyed fabrics can be detected on the energy feature images using local binary patterns. The proposed method can detect colored and structural flaws. Experimental results for the defect detection from six kinds of yarn-dyed fabrics indicate that a high detection rate is achieved for the proposed method. It is fast enough to be possible for real-time application.

This paper proposes a method for improving saturation in the context of hue-preserving color image enhancement. The proposed method handles colors in an RGB color space, which has the form of a cube, and enhances the contrast of a given image by histogram manipulation, such as histogram equalization and histogram specification, of the intensity image. Then, the color corresponding to a target intensity is determined in a hue-preserving manner, where a gamut problem should be taken into account. We first project any color onto a surface in the RGB color space, which bisects the RGB color cube, to increase the saturation without a gamut problem. Then, we adjust the intensity of the saturation-enhanced color to the target intensity given by the histogram manipulation. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves higher saturation than that given by related methods for hue-preserving color image enhancement.
