Abstract

Colour quantisation algorithms are essential for displaying true colour images using a limited palette of distinct colours. The choice of a good colour palette is crucial as it directly determines the quality of the resulting image. Colour quantisation can also be seen as a clustering problem where the task is to identify those clusters that best represent the colours in an image. In this paper, we use a rough c-means clustering algorithm for colour quantisation of images. Experimental results on a standard set of images show that this rough image quantisation approach performs significantly better than other, purpose built colour quantisation algorithms.
