Improved Posterized Color Images based on Color Quantization and Contrast Enhancement
A conventional image posterization method
occasionally fails to preserve the shape and color of objects due to the
uneffective color reduction. This paper proposes a new image
posterizartion method by using modified color quantization for
preserving the shape and color of objects and color contrast
enhancement for improving lightness contrast and saturation.
Experiment results show that our proposed method can provide
visually more satisfactory posterization result than that of the
conventional method.
