A fuzzy approach to real-time digital color reproduction of clothing with 3D camera

Digital color reproduction[1][2] is a technique that can change the color appearance of objects shown in an image or video. The technique is utilized in various aspects and scenarios including projection-based appearances editing[3], medical imaging[4] and discrimination improvement for dichromats or anomalous trichromats[5][6]. However, traditional object color reproduction has high computational complexity due to color space transform, temporal color consistency handling and object boundary decision, which makes real-time processing for videos impossible without additional computing power such as GPGPU acceleration[7]. In this paper, a real-time high quality fuzzy rule-based(FRB) color reproduction system for clothing with Intel^® RealSense^TM SDK and 3D Camera is proposed. By virtue of the SDK and 3D camera, depth image can be used to accelerate the user foreground extraction and clothing boundary decision, which not only provides a high quality reproduction result with better boundary fidelity, but also speeds up the computation to achieve real-time processing capability.
