  • Abstract
    This paper presents a new color-conversion method that offers users an intuitive, one-click interface for style conversion. So, rather than having to supply a reference image, users simply select a color mood with a mouse click. To address the color-transfer quality problem, we associate each color mood with a set of up to 10 images from our image database. After selecting their color mood, users choose one associated image. Our histogram matching algorithm then uses the selected image to determine the input image´s color distribution. We thereby achieve more accurate and justifiable color conversion results, while also preserving spatial coherence. Here, we further describe our solutions and their results and compare them to existing approaches.
