Example

I0 = double(imread('scotland_house.png'))/255;	 % reference image
I1 = double(imread('scotland_plain.png'))/255;   % target palette
IR_idt = colour_transfer_IDT(I0, I1, 10);        % [Pitie07a,Pitie05a,Pitie05b]
IR_mkl = colour_transfer_MKL(I0, I1);     	   	 % [Pitie07b] in RGB space
IR_regrain = regrain(I0, IR_idt);     	   	     % [Pitie07a,Pitie05b]

Note that the IDT method uses random colour directions, hence results will differ from the results published here in result_IDT.png.
