A new approach for defining a fuzzy color space

Abstract

In this paper we introduce formal definitions of the concepts of fuzzy color and fuzzy color space. We present an approach to the automatic design of customized fuzzy color spaces on the basis of a collection of crisp colors, each crisp color being fully representative of a certain color term. The approach works on any euclidean crisp space and is based on obtaining a Voronoi diagram having the aforementioned representative crisp colors as centroids. The proposal will be illustrated building fuzzy color spaces on RGB colors on the basis of the ISCC-NBS color naming system.
