Multiple Color Model Image Display System
Display system providing the capability to encode multiparameter images using several color models
We have developed a multiple color model image display system that provides the capability to encode multiparameter images using several color models. This system allows interactive comparison and exloration of the potential merits of different color models for coding multiparameter image data into integrated displays. We also developed the color icon, which subsumes standard color coding techniques and retains their power, but escapes their limitation to three parameters. The color icon uses three human perception channels: color, texture and shape. Initial evaluations have demonstrated the power of this approach, which currently has the capability to encode up to 24 parameters.

FBI Homicide dataset of the age of the victim (x axis) versus the age of the offender (y axis). There is a clear trend in the pattern, stretching from the left lower corner to the right top corner.

Figure 3. Color Icons Displaying Brain Tumor Regions from MRI Images.

The color icon can enhance the differences among different regions of the brain, as seen in this case. The following MRI images show a large tumor, of lighter color than the rest of the brain.
