The objectives of this paper is to develop a Sino-color dictionary system by using computer technology. We investigate Sino-colors by using Chinese intuition from different subjects, such as Chinese architecture, clothing, opera, custom, painting, etc. These Sino-color samples are stored into computers by using a scanner or digital camera. The SOM neural network model is used to classify these colors into different clusters. According to these clusters' information, a 3D Sino-color feature map will, then, be drawn on a computer. Finally, color experts will define the representative Sino-colors through the distribution appearing in the resulting feature map. The notation translation between RGB and other color systems, such as Sino-color notation, CIELab and Munsell, is required since most computer systems represent color using RGB model. After a set of Sino-colors being determinated, we develop a multi-medium database to store these knowledge, along with other richful image information. The system includes a friendly user interface which allows users to retrieve the information by using color chips, color notations, color names, color images, and utilization cases. We hope the system can assist designers in creating their products and improving their products quality. |
