Stephen Westland

Chair of Colour Science and Technology

School of Design, University of Leeds

I work at the University of Leeds in the School of Design. My main interest is colour. My approach to studying colour is post-disciplinary and this means that my work spans some quite diverse areas such as design, science and technology, and machine learning. I welcome applicants for PhD study and enjoy collaborations with industry.

Lai P & Westland S, 2020. Machine Learning for Colour Palette Extraction from Fashion Runway Images, International Journal of Fashion Design, Technology and Education, 13(3), 334-340.

In this paper we develop and text method that can automatically extract key colours from images of models in fashion runway images. We used various machine learning algorithms including people-detection method (to ignore the image background) and the clustering technique k-means. The accuracy of the system is tested using groundtrut data where people were asked to select colours from the images. The difference between the machine-selected colours and the human colours was not greater than the variation between colours selected by different people.

Xia G, Henry P, Queiroz F, Westland S & Luwen Y, 2022. Colour - cognitive performance interaction in virtual reality (VR): a study of gender differences, Journal of the International Colour Association, 28, 1-6.

Cognitive performance tests were carried out in a VR environment (HTC VIVE headset) in differently coloured room settings. Results indicated that colours delivered via a VR headset can have arousing and impulsive effects on particiants' cognitive performance. Some gender effects were observed; for example, female participants made more errors with the yellow background and fewer errors with the orange backgrounds compared with the male participants.

Kadyrova K, Pederson M & Westland S, 2022. What Elevation Makes 2.5D Prints Perceptually Natural?, Materials, 15(10), 3573.

The naturalness of 2.5D prints is affected by the level of elevation and is application-dependent. In this work, we investigated what elevation makes 2.5D prints of wood images perceptually natural. We worked with various wood content images such as wooden wicker, wall, roof, and floor. We found that the optimal elevation that makes 2.5D prints of wood images perceptually natural is content-dependent and in a range between 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm.

Yang J, Chen Y, Xiao K & Westland S, 2020. Predicting visual similarity betwen colour palettes, Color Research and Application, 45(3), 401-408

In this paper we develop a metric that can predict the visual colour difference between a pair of n-colour palettes. An n-colour palette is a colour palette that contains n colour patches. If n=1 we have a regular situation where the visual difference can be predicted using colour difference equations such as CIEDE2000. A pyschophyiscal experiment is described where the visual difference between pairs of 5-colour palettes was scaled and is then predicted by various models. The models are assessed quantitatively using r squared and STRESS. Best performance is given by a metric called the minimum colour difference model (MICDM). The colour difference between each patch in each palettes is calculated with its closest colour patch in the other palette and these 2n colour differences are then averaged. For the MICDM metric based on the CIEDE2000 colour difference equation the r square value was 0.86 and STRESS was 16.9.

Chen Y, Yang J, Pan Q, Vazirian M & Westland S, 2019. A method of exploring word-colour associations, Color Research and Application, 45(1), 85-94.

Strong associations exist between colours and concepts or words. Understanding these associations, sometimes referred to as colour emotions, is important for effective use of colour in art and design. Traditionally the relationships have been systematically explored in experiments where participants scale colours according to bipolar adjectives such as warm‐cool. In this article, a method for exploring the relationships between words and colours is suggested and is demonstrated. A psychophysical experiment is described where participants select colours based on words. The data are used to show that many similarities between the word‐colour relationships for UK and Chinese participants although some interesting differences are also revealed. The method makes explicit the observation that there is not a one‐to‐one relationship between words and colours. The method could be used to explore word‐colour relationship for specific words and participant groups or could be used to generate ground‐truth data for testing methods for automatically generating the word‐colour relationships.

Lin J, Westland S & Cheung V, 2019. Effect of intensity of short-wavelength light on electroencephalogram and subjective alertness, Lighting Research and Technology, 1477153519872801.

Short-wavelength light is known to have an effect on human alertness in the night-time. This study evaluates the alerting ability of short-wavelength light of three different intensities (40 lux, 80 lux and 160 lux). Eight subjects participated in a 60-minute exposure protocol for four evenings, during which electroencephalogram (EEG) as well as subjective sleepiness data were collected. EEG power in the beta range was significantly higher after subjects were exposed to 160 lux light than after they were exposed to 40 lux, 80 lux light or remained in darkness. Also, the alpha theta power was significantly lower under 160 lux light then in darkness. These results show that the effect of intensity on alertness is not linear and further work should be done to investigate the threshold intensity that is required to produce an alerting effect.
