Image-Pro Color The image processing software that provides 24-bit color and multi-spectral imaging. Now images can be analyzed, enhanced and measured in black and white, shades of gray and vivid, true color. Using Media Cybernetics' color technology, Image-Pro Color allows you to perform a variety of operations on true color images without losing color integrity or creating unwanted artifacts. Image-Pro Color's full range of operations can be used in three color models: YIQ used in video and broadcast- ing; HSI, the standard model for image processing; and RGB, the hardware standard. Image-Pro Color gives you full control of your color images with these versatile features: - Chromaticity Operations provide a quick, interactive method to perform photo color correction, hue shifting, and variation of the depth of color saturation useful for publishing applications, or any time enhancement is needed. - Multiband Segmentation Operations let you perform separation of objects from background by specifying ranges of hue, saturation and intensity, thus providing at least three times the precision of conventional methods (based on only intensity). - Channel Processing permits you to perform image analysis and processing of gray-scale and multiband images. Individual bands of image data can be extracted, analyzed and processed then the resulting information can be merged back into the whole image. You can extract any channel in any color model (HST, RGB, YIQ). - Analysis features including the histogram of points, lines or areas of interest are useful aids for deciding what processing functions will give the best results and as a means of post processing evaluation of images. The histogram information is presented on the display in a graphical format and numeric information which comprises the histogram can be saved and printed. - Operations such as compositing, posterization, replica- tion, mathematical and logical functions can be per- formed between channels of image data and also between two images. Other operations include four-point warp- ing, rotation, bilinear scaling, and 24- to 8-bit color compression. - Scanning of large images at full scanner resolution even if image size is larger than the display memory size. Analysis and processing is performed on the display image. - TIFF and TGA file formats - PAL (European standards), NTSC, RS-170 cameras - Multiple resolution configurations up to 1024 x 768 - A wide range of hardware is supported including video digitizers, locator devices, and high resolution output devices.
