Color constancy: surface color from changing illumination
نویسنده
چکیده
Received September 5, 1991; revised manuscript received October 30, 1991; accepted November 13, 1991 Viewing the lights reflected by a set of three or more surfaces, a trichromatic visual system can recover three color-constant descriptors of reflectance per surface if the color of the surfaces' illuminant changes. This holds true for a broad range of models that relate photoreceptor, surface, and illuminant spectral properties. Changing illumination, which creates the problem of color constancy, affords its solution.

A Robust Framework to Estimate Surface Color from Changing Illumination
The purpose of color constancy algorithms is to estimate the illumination color reflected from an object and then eliminate it, making the color of the object appearance identical to the object actual color. To accomplish the purpose, we have developed a color constancy algorithm which is extended from Finlayson et al’s algorithm. By combining varying illumination constraint, Planckian locus wh...
متن کاملEffects of spatial and temporal context on color categories and color constancy.
Color constancy is the ability to assign a constant color to an object independent of changes in illumination. Color constancy is achieved by taking context information into account. Previous approaches that have used matching paradigms to quantify color constancy found degrees of constancy between 20% and 80%. Here, we studied color constancy in a color-naming task under different conditions o...
متن کاملRole of color memory in successive color constancy.
We investigate color constancy for real 2D paper samples using a successive matching paradigm in which the observer memorizes a reference surface color under neutral illumination and after a temporal interval selects a matching test surface under the same or different illumination. We find significant effects of the illumination, reference surface, and their interaction on the matching error. W...
متن کاملColor Constancy for Scenes with Varying Illumination (Color Constancy with Varying Illumination)
We present an algorithm which uses information from both surface reflectance and illumination variation to solve for color constancy. Most color constancy algorithms assume that the illumination across a scene is constant, but this is very often not valid for real images. The method presented in this work identifies and removes the illumination variation, and in addition uses the variation to c...
متن کاملColor Constancy: Developing Empirical Tests of Computational Models
Brainard et al. 2 INTRODUCTION Object recognition is difficult because there is no simple relation between an object's properties and the retinal image. Where the object is located, how it is oriented, and how it is illuminated also affect the image. Moreover, the relation is under-determined: multiple physical configurations can give rise to the same retinal image. In the case of object color,...
