Color Homography: theory and applications

چکیده
Images of co-planar points in 3-dimensional space taken from different camera positions are a homography apart. Homographies are at the heart of geometric methods in computer vision and are used in geometric camera calibration, 3D reconstruction, stereo vision and image mosaicking among other tasks. In this paper we show the surprising result that homographies are the apposite tool for relating image colors of the same scene when the capture conditions – illumination color, shading and device – change. Three applications of color homographies are investigated. First, we show that color calibration is correctly formulated as a homography problem. Second, we compare the chromaticity distributions of an image of colorful objects to a database of object chromaticity distributions using homography matching. In the color transfer problem, the colors in one image are mapped so that the resulting image color style matches that of a target image. We show that natural image color transfer can be re-interpreted as a color homography mapping. Experiments demonstrate that solving the color homography problem leads to more accurate calibration, improved color-based object recognition, and we present a new direction for developing natural color transfer algorithms.

Color transfer is an image editing process that adjusts the colors of a picture to match a target picture’s color theme. A natural color transfer not only matches the color styles but also prevents after-transfer artifacts due to image compression, noise, and gradient smoothness change. The recently discovered color homography theorem proves that colors across a change in photometric viewing co...
متن کاملRecoding Color Transfer as A Color Homography
The recently discovered color homography theorem proves that colors across a change in photometric viewing condition are related by a homography [2]. In this paper, we propose a color-homography-based color transfer decomposition which encodes color transfer as a combination of chromaticity shift and shading adjustment. Our experiments show that the proposed color transfer decomposition provide...

متن کاملObstacle Detection Using Adaptive Color Segmentation and Color Stereo Homography
Obstacle detection is a key component of autonomous systems. In particular, when dealing with large robots in unstructured environments, robust obstacle detection is vital. In this paper, we describe an obstacle detection methodology which combines two complimentary methods: adaptive color segmentation, and stereo-based color homography. This algorithm is particularly suited for environments in...
