Abstract
Systems and methods for template matching of multicolored images provide an image conversion process that respectively views two, three or four input color planes through an input observation window. Single plane vectors are obtained that represent the color planes. The obtained single plane vectors are combined into a multi-plane vector that may be used in a look-up table for descreening or resolution enhancement, for example. Various interactions between color planes may be taken into account to provide optimum color space conversion. Additional information obtained by using the multi-plane vector allow performance of image processes with optimized accurate color values.
