colour maps

Started by Arvind Raman June 19, 2001
Hi,

I would like to know how one should create a colour
map. Is there any site which suggests how to do so or
lets you download the colour map table.

Thanks and regards
Arvind

Hi Arvind,

u can create a color map for any image by creating a table with the color
values (RGB or gray) in each row, and replace the pixel value in the image
grid with the row number (index) of the corresponding pixel color..
The type of images are called indexed images.

If u have access to Matlab, read the manual for Image Processing Toolbox..

This is generally used to save space in storing the image pixel values
directly and also sometimes for color quantization.

A color map will depend on the colors present in the image for which u
want to create the color map. You cannot download the any "colormap" for
any image. --vinod
