The application of spectral information to image segmentation is examined, with an approach to colour manipulation being described. A transformation from red/green/blue space to intensity/saturation/hue is advocated, using a triangular polar space to reduce non-linearity. A colour orientated edge detector is described for this space. The methodology is illustrated with two applications, the reading of colour codes on resistors and the segmentation of vehicles within natural scenes.
