Method and device for use in converting a colour image into a grayscale image

總結
It introduces new technology to convert color image into grayscale image with high contrast for publishing, printing or medical imaging. In the conventional method, only luminance is used for the conversion of color images to grayscale images. Visual contrasts that are visible in color images become invisible in the converted grayscale images and significant information may be lost. Also, such methods employ multidimensional scaling and involve a large number of variables which are time and resource intensive, and therefore unsuitable for real-time applications such as printing. This new invention relates to a technique and device that can generate high quality grayscale images in real time, by combining luminance component and the principal chromatic component of a color image in CIELAB color spaces together to form a grayscale image.
技術優勢

Title: Method and device for use in converting a colour image into a grayscale image
Usefulness: Method and device for use in converting a colour image into a grayscale image
Summary: Method for converting color image data into grayscale image data by a computerized device (claimed). Uses include but are not limited to a desktop computer, laptop computer, personal digital assistant (PDA), printer, photocopier, scanner, facsimile device, universal serial bus (USB) device and dongle.
Novelty: Method for converting color image data into grayscale image data by e.g. computerized device, involves generating grayscale value by subtracting chromatic component from chromatic information if correlation value is less than zero
