Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel colour segmentation algorithm based on the derived inherent properties of RGB colour space. The proposed colour segmentation algorithm operates directly on RGB colour space without the need of colour space transformation and it is very robust to various illumination conditions. Furthermore, our approach has the benefits of being insensitive to rotation, scaling, and translation. In addition, the system can be applied to different applications, for example, colour segmentation for fruits (vegetables) quality control by merely changing the values of the parameters (α, β1, β2, γ1, γ2). Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of our proposed approach in colour segmentation.
