Cover Story: Image decolorization is an image pre-processing step which is widely used in image analysis, computer vision, and printing applications. The most commonly used methods give each color channel a constant weight without considering image content. This approach is simple and fast, but it may cause significant information loss when images contain too many isoluminant colors. In this paper, we propose a new method which is not only efficient, but also can preserve a higher level of image contrast and detail than the traditional methods. The algorithm works in RGB color space directly without any color conversion. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can run as efficiently as the traditional methods and obtain the best overall performance across four different metrics. View this paper
