Conversion from digital black-white image to colour image

Abstract

Conversion of digital black white image into colour image is a conversion that still under the research and has no the exact solution nowadays. This project was proposed by Panasonic Singapore Laboratories Pte. Ltd. This technology may help in producing a useful and convenient conversion product to people who needs, like artists. In this project, the focus is mainly on the programming software such as MATLAB in order to investigate the pattern and way of the conversion. The conceptual code written for trying to convert the grayscale image into colour image, which can be found in the Internet, is also needed to be studied. Also, it is necessary to study the way of how artists colour the grayscale image into colour image by their way. The colour models need to focus on the way of expresses the colour into coordinate with abstract mathematical way. The results obtained from the programming are expected will not have the exact solution, but the research studied from this project may be a great help for the next project to proceed for further investigation.
