Pseudo-color enhancement can be regarded as the process of coloring gray-scale images, that is, giving different colors to regions with different gray-scale values in the original gray-scale image to distinguish them more clearly. The input of pseudo-color enhancement is a gray-scale image, and the output is a color image.

La représentation d'une image en pseudo-couleurs est un processus un peu particulier qui ne concerne qu'une seule bande spectrale d'une image. Plutôt que de visualiser l'image en niveaux de gris, on attribue une couleur à chaque compte numérique. Cela permet de faciliter l'interprétation de l'image, l'œil humain ne permettant d'identifier de manière efficace qu'un nombre restreint de niveaux de gris.

Key term(s)
  • affichage en pseudocouleurs
  • représentation d'une image en pseudocouleurs
