Abstract

In this paper a new algorithm for color quantization of color digital image is presented. The method is based on finding homogeneous regions of colors with a level of tolerance depending on the CIE2000 metric. A consequence obtained from the results obtained with other quantization methods is that the number of final colors depends very importantly on the characteristics of the image. In this paper is demonstrated that the proposed method of color quantization have better behavior than the Median-Cut and the Principal Component's algorithms.
