Integration of human perception for color texture management

For more than thirty years image processing has used the numerical approach for image filtering and segmentation, and for extracting information by using attributes or features. Recent developments have proposed psycho-visual tests to measure the pattern sensitivity of the human visual system in terms of contrast and spatial frequencies. These contrast sensitivity functions make possible assessing the quality of the perceived image for a high resolution image. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to image processing, namely the use of human perception along common image processing tools towards image interpretation.
