Figure 15

Illustration of the histograms for b* channel. (a) the histogram of the b* channel for the original image in Figure 10(a); (b) the histogram of the b* channel for the corrected image that is displayed in Figure 14(a) using Lab mode; (c) the histogram of the b* channel for the corrected image that is displayed in Figure 14(a) using RGB mode. This figure is displayed to reveal the variations before and after the correction in CIE LAB and RGB color models regarding the b* channel. Note that the center of the histogram for RGB model is moved to the left whereas the center of histogram for CIE LAB is not changed regarding the histogram of the original image.
