Color is tricky. If we consider gray (r = g = b) to have no color content, how should we define the color content in each component of an arbitrary pixel, as well as the overall color magnitude?
I can think of three ways to define the color content in each component:
(1) Linear. For each component, take the difference from the average
of all three.
(2) Linear. For each component, take the difference from the average
of the other two.
(3) Nonlinear. For each component, take the minimum of the differences
from the other two. How might one choose from among these? Consider two different situations:
(a) r = g = 0, b = 255 {255} /255/
(b) r = 0, g = 127, b = 255 {191} /128/
How much g is in each of these? The three methods above give:
(a) 1: 85 2: 127 3: 0 [85]
(b) 1: 0 2: 0 3: 127 [0]
How much b is in each of these?
(a) 1: 170 2: 255 3: 255 [255]
(b) 1: 127 2: 191 3: 127 [191]
The number I'd "like" to give is in []. (Please don't ask why, it's
just a feeling.So my preferences seem to be somewhere between (1) and (2). (3) is just too "decisive!" Let's pick (2).
We also allow compensation for white imbalance. For each component, we do a linear TRC (gamma = 1.0), where the black point remains at 0 and the white point is given by the input parameter. This is equivalent to doing a global remapping, as with pixGlobalNormRGB(), followed by color content (or magnitude) computation, but without the overhead of first creating the white point normalized image.
Another useful property is the overall color magnitude in the pixel.
For this there are again several choices, such as:
(a) rms deviation from the mean
(b) the average L1 deviation from the mean
(c) the maximum (over components) of one of the color
content measures given above. For now, we will choose two of the methods in (c):
L_MAX_DIFF_FROM_AVERAGE_2
Define the color magnitude as the maximum over components
of the difference between the component value and the
average of the other two. It is easy to show that
this is equivalent to selecting the two component values
that are closest to each other, averaging them, and
using the distance from that average to the third component.
For (a) and (b) above, this value is in {..}.
L_MAX_MIN_DIFF_FROM_2
Define the color magnitude as the maximum over components
of the minimum difference between the component value and the
other two values. It is easy to show that this is equivalent
to selecting the intermediate value of the three differences
between the three components. For (a) and (b) above,
this value is in /../.

Notes:
(1) This returns the color content in each component, which is
a measure of the deviation from gray, and is defined
as the difference between the component and the average of
the other two components. See the discussion at the
top of this file.
(2) The three numbers (rwhite, gwhite and bwhite) can be thought
of as the values in the image corresponding to white.
They are used to compensate for an unbalanced color white point.
They must either be all 0 or all non-zero. To turn this
off, set them all to 0.
(3) If the maximum component after white point correction,
max(r,g,b), is less than mingray, all color components
for that pixel are set to zero.
Use mingray = 0 to turn off this filtering of dark pixels.
(4) Therefore, use 0 for all four input parameters if the color
magnitude is to be calculated without either white balance
correction or dark filtering.

Notes:
(1) This function is asking the question: to what extent does the
image appear to have color? The amount of color a pixel
appears to have depends on both the deviation of the
individual components from their average and on the average
intensity itself. For example, the color will be much more
obvious with a small deviation from white than the same
deviation from black.
(2) Any pixel that meets these three tests is considered a
colorful pixel:
(a) the lightest component must equal or exceed darkthresh
(b) the darkest component must not exceed lightthresh
(c) the max difference between components must equal or
exceed diffthresh.
(3) The dark pixels are removed from consideration because
they don't appear to have color.
(4) The very lightest pixels are removed because if an image
has a lot of "white", the color fraction will be artificially
low, even if all the other pixels are colorful.
(5) If pixfract is very small, there are few pixels that are neither
black nor white. If colorfract is very small, the pixels
that are neither black nor white have very little color
content. The product 'pixfract * colorfract' gives the
fraction of pixels with significant color content.
(6) One use of this function is as a preprocessing step for median
cut quantization (colorquant2.c), which does a very poor job
splitting the color space into rectangular volume elements when
all the pixels are near the diagonal of the color cube. For
octree quantization of an image with only gray values, the
2^(level) octcubes on the diagonal are the only ones
that can be occupied.

Notes:
(1) For an RGB image, a gray pixel is one where all three components
are equal. We define the amount of color in an RGB pixel as
a function depending on the absolute value of the differences
between the three color components. Consider the two largest
of these differences. The pixel component in common to these
two differences is the color farthest from the other two.
The color magnitude in an RGB pixel can be taken as one
of these three definitions:
(a) The average of these two differences. This is the
average distance from the two components that are
nearest to each other to the third component.
(b) The minimum value of these two differences. This is
the intermediate value of the three distances between
component values. Stated otherwise, it is the
maximum over all components of the minimum distance
from that component to the other two components.
(c) The maximum difference between component values.
(2) As an example, suppose that R and G are the closest in
magnitude. Then the color is determined as either:
(a) The average distance of B from these two:
(|B - R| + |B - G|) / 2
(b) The minimum distance of B from these two:
min(|B - R|, |B - G|).
(c) The maximum distance of B from these two:
max(|B - R|, |B - G|)
(3) The three methods for choosing the color magnitude from
the components are selected with these flags:
(a) L_MAX_DIFF_FROM_AVERAGE_2
(b) L_MAX_MIN_DIFF_FROM_2
(c) L_MAX_DIFF
(4) The three numbers (rwhite, gwhite and bwhite) can be thought
of as the values in the image corresponding to white.
They are used to compensate for an unbalanced color white point.
They must either be all 0 or all non-zero. To turn this
off, set them all to 0.

Notes:
(1) This function finds a measure of the number of colors that are
found in low-gradient regions of an image. By its
magnitude relative to some threshold (not specified in
this function), it gives a good indication of whether
quantization will generate posterization. This number
is larger for images with regions of slowly varying
intensity (if 8 bpp) or color (if rgb). Such images, if
quantized, may require dithering to avoid posterization,
and lossless compression is then expected to be poor.
(2) If pixs has a colormap, the number of colors returned is
the number in the colormap.
(3) It is recommended that document images be reduced to a width
of 800 pixels before applying this function. Then it can
be expected that color detection will be fairly accurate
and the number of colors will reflect both the content and
the type of compression to be used. For less than 15 colors,
there is unlikely to be a halftone image, and lossless
quantization should give both a good visual result and
better compression.
(4) When using the default threshold on the gradient (15),
images (both gray and rgb) where ncolors is greater than
about 15 will compress poorly with either lossless
compression or dithered quantization, and they may be
posterized with non-dithered quantization.
(5) For grayscale images, or images without significant color,
this returns the number of significant gray levels in
the low-gradient regions. The actual number of gray levels
can be large due to jpeg compression noise in the background.
(6) Similarly, for color images, the actual number of different
(r,g,b) colors in the low-gradient regions (rather than the
number of occupied level 4 octcubes) can be quite large, e.g.,
due to jpeg compression noise, even for regions that appear
to be of a single color. By quantizing to level 4 octcubes,
most of these superfluous colors are removed from the counting.
(7) The image is tested for color. If there is very little color,
it is thresholded to gray and the number of gray levels in
the low gradient regions is found. If the image has color,
the number of occupied level 4 octcubes is found.
(8) The number of colors in the low-gradient regions increases
monotonically with the threshold thresh on the edge gradient.
(9) Background: grayscale and color quantization is often useful
to achieve highly compressed images with little visible
distortion. However, gray or color washes (regions of
low gradient) can defeat this approach to high compression.
How can one determine if an image is expected to compress
well using gray or color quantization? We use the fact that
* gray washes, when quantized with less than 50 intensities,
have posterization (visible boundaries between regions
of uniform 'color') and poor lossless compression
* color washes, when quantized with level 4 octcubes,
typically result in both posterization and the occupancy
of many level 4 octcubes.
Images can have colors either intrinsically or as jpeg
compression artifacts. This function reduces but does not
completely eliminate measurement of jpeg quantization noise
in the white background of grayscale or color images.

Notes:
(1) This function tries to determine if there is a significant
color or darker region on a scanned page image, where part
of the image is background that is either white or reddish.
This also allows extraction of regions of colored pixels that
have a smaller red component than blue or green components.
(2) If pixm exists, pixels under its fg are combined with
dark pixels to make a mask of pixels not to be considered
as color candidates.
(3) There are four thresholds.
* lightthresh: compute the average value of each rgb pixel,
and make 10 buckets by value. If the lightest bucket gray
value is below lightthresh, the image is not considered
to have a light bg, and this returns 0.0 for colorfract.
* darkthresh: ignore pixels darker than this (typ. fg text).
We make a 1 bpp mask of these pixels, and then dilate it to
remove all vestiges of fg from their vicinity.
* mindiff: consider pixels with either (b - r) or (g - r)
being at least this value, as having color.
* colordiff: consider pixels where the (max - min) difference
of the pixel components exceeds this value, as having color.
(4) All components of color pixels that are touching the image
border are removed. Additionally, all pixels within some
normalized distance edgefract from the image border can
be removed. This insures that dark pixels near the edge
of the image are not included.
(5) This returns in pcolorfract the fraction of pixels that have
color and are not in the set consisting of an OR between
pixm and the dilated dark pixel mask.
(6) No masks are returned unless light color pixels are found.
If colorfract > 0.0 and pcolormask1 is defined, this returns
a 1 bpp mask with fg pixels over the color background.
This mask may have some holes in it.
(7) If colorfract > 0.0 and pcolormask2 is defined, this returns
a version of colormask1 where small holes have been filled.
(8) To generate a boxa of rectangular regions from the overlap
of components in the filtered mask:
boxa1 = pixConnCompBB(colormask2, 8);
boxa2 = boxaCombineOverlaps(boxa1, NULL);
This is done here in debug mode.

Notes:
(1) Pixels are identified as red if they satisfy two conditions:
(a) The components satisfy (R-B)/B > fthresh (red or dark fg)
(b) The red component satisfied R > 128 (red or light bg)
Masks are generated for (a) and (b), and the intersection
gives the pixels that are red but not either light bg or
dark fg.
(2) A typical value for fract = 0.0001, which gives sensitivity
to an image where a small fraction of the pixels are printed
in red.
(3) A typical value for fthresh = 2.5. Higher values give less
sensitivity to red, and fewer false positives.

| [in] | threshdiff | threshold for minimum of the max difference between components |
| [in] | mindist | minimum allowed distance from nearest non-color pixel |
Notes:
(1) The generated mask identifies each pixel as either color or
non-color. For a pixel to be color, it must satisfy two
constraints:
(a) The max difference between the r,g and b components must
equal or exceed a threshold threshdiff.
(b) It must be at least mindist (in an 8-connected way)
from the nearest non-color pixel.
(2) The distance constraint (b) is only applied if mindist > 1.
For example, if mindist == 2, the color pixels identified
by (a) are eroded by a 3x3 Sel. In general, the Sel size
for erosion is 2 * (mindist - 1) + 1.
Why have this constraint? In scanned images that are
essentially gray, color artifacts are typically introduced
in transition regions near sharp edges that go from dark
to light, so this allows these transition regions to be removed.

| [out] | pncolors | the number of colors found, or 0 if there are more than 256 |
Notes:
(1) This returns the actual number of colors found in the image,
even if there is a colormap. If factor == 1 and the
number of colors differs from the number of entries
in the colormap, a warning is issued.
(2) Use factor == 1 to find the actual number of colors.
Use factor > 1 to quickly find the approximate number of colors.
(3) For d = 2, 4 or 8 bpp grayscale, this returns the number
of colors found in the image in 'ncolors'.
(4) For d = 32 bpp (rgb), if the number of colors is
greater than 256, this returns 0 in 'ncolors'.

Notes:
(1) This function is asking the question: how many perceptually
significant gray color levels is in this pix?
A color level must meet 3 criteria to be significant:
~ it can't be too close to black
~ it can't be too close to white
~ it must have at least some minimum fractional population
(2) Use -1 for default values for darkthresh, lightthresh and minfract.
(3) Choose default of darkthresh = 20, because variations in very
dark pixels are not visually significant.
(4) Choose default of lightthresh = 236, because document images
that have been jpeg'd typically have near-white pixels in the
8x8 jpeg blocks, and these should not be counted. It is desirable
to obtain a clean image by quantizing this noise away.

Notes:
(1) If you want to do color quantization for real, use octcube
or modified median cut. This function shows that it is
easy to make a simple quantizer based solely on the population
in cells of a given size in rgb color space.
(2) The ncolors most populated cells at the sigbits level form
the colormap for quantizing, and this uses octcube indexing
under the covers to assign each pixel to the nearest color.
(3) sigbits is restricted to 2, 3 and 4. At the low end, the
color discrimination is very crude; at the upper end, a set of
similar colors can dominate the result. Interesting results
are generally found for sigbits = 3 and ncolors ~ 20.
(4) See also pixColorSegment() for a method of quantizing the
colors to generate regions of similar color.
