Abstract
Color transfer involves recoloring reflecting a reference image color in an input image, for example, by a color distribution or chroma distribution. The color transfer algorithm we propose transferring hue information by modifying the input image hue histogram so that its shape approaches that of the reference image as closely as possible. Color transfer effectively reflecting images considers image chroma information and relative hue histogram occurrence frequency as demonstrated in results of experiments.
