0 Highlighting a specific range of colors in an image
If the colors of interest are enclosed by a cube of width W
and centered at a protypical color with components
(a1 , a2 ,..., an ), the necessary set of transformations is

If a sphere is used to specify the colors of interest,
R 0 is the radius of the enclosing of its center.

Let S xy denote the set of coordinates defining a neighborhood
centered at (x, y ) in an RGB color image. The average of the
RGB component vectors in this neighborhood is

 For HSI model, only intensity is averaged. This does not change the color
and so there is difference in the smoothened image.

This difference increases when the size of the filter is increased.
