Abstract

The paper mainly deals with the segmentation of the color image; the algorithm used is nearest neighbor segmentation algorithm. The working principle of the algorithm is highly suitable for the L*A*B* color space. With the help of this method it’s possible to distinguish the objects based on the color. The concept of the paper can may be applicable to some practical applications such as fake note detection, damaged cells detection in medical fields and defect detection in metal industry etc. Along with the color identification, the paper gives an idea how to calculate the amount of different colors present in an image.
