Take a look at <a href="http://gemident.com/">GEMIdent</a>. This is more of a special purpose package (so maybe not the best choice for your needs) but their docs and presentations are easy to follow and explain in general terms how their software works. </p> http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/topic/how-to-analyze-record-cielab-or-munsell-notations-of-colors-in-digital-images#post-1495 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 19:05:51 +0000 materialculture 1495@http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/ <p><em>Replying to @Anupam Basu's <a href="http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/topic/how-to-analyze-record-cielab-or-munsell-notations-of-colors-in-digital-images#post-1484">post</a>:</em></p> <p><em>Replying to @Arno Bosse's <a href="http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/topic/how-to-analyze-record-cielab-or-munsell-notations-of-colors-in-digital-images#post-1483">post</a>:</em></p> <p>Thank you both for your replies. I'm not nearly so savvy as to actually *understand* what you've suggested, so I'm going to take your ideas to our programmer and hopefully will be able to get the color reading job done for our image database. Many thanks! </p> http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/topic/how-to-analyze-record-cielab-or-munsell-notations-of-colors-in-digital-images#post-1484 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 00:10:25 +0000 Anupam Basu 1484@http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/ <p>ImageJ should have a plugin. It can also be done in Python with PIL (which has a dependency on numPy, I believe). </p> http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/topic/how-to-analyze-record-cielab-or-munsell-notations-of-colors-in-digital-images#post-1483 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 22:43:14 +0000 Arno Bosse 1483@http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/ <p>I'm pretty sure that there are ImageJ (<a href="http://rsbweb.nih.gov/ij/features.html" rel="nofollow">http://rsbweb.nih.gov/ij/features.html</a>) segmentation plugins that should be able to handle this. Actually, rather than ImageJ I recommend you use Fiji (<a href="http://fiji.sc/wiki/index.php/Fiji" rel="nofollow">http://fiji.sc/wiki/index.php/Fiji</a>) instead. As they say on their site, "Fiji compares to ImageJ as Ubuntu compares to Linux." </p> http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/topic/how-to-analyze-record-cielab-or-munsell-notations-of-colors-in-digital-images#post-1482 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 22:28:26 +0000 materialculture 1482@http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/ <p>I know photo editing software can analyze color and display CIELAB and Munsell color identification notations for selected image areas. Is there a tool (preferably open source) that will analyze and identify the colors in a digital image, and create an output file recording those colors in CIELAB or Munsell notation? </p>
