Color Constancy from Illumination Changes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Elimination of illumination color in color images is essential for various fields in computer vision. Many methods have been proposed to solve it, however there are few methods employing varying illumination as a constraint. We found Finlayson et al. ’s method [10] applicable for natural images, and extended it by making the reference illumination variable. To evaluate our method, we have conducted a number of experiments with natural images and also with textured images mapped on 3D data. The evaluation shows that the method has higher accuracy and robustness compared to the previous method.

Effects 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 کاملColor constancy in a naturalistic, goal-directed task.
In daily life, we use color information to select objects that will best serve a particular goal (e.g., pick the best-tasting fruit or avoid spoiled food). This is challenging when judgments must be made across changes in illumination as the spectrum reflected from an object to the eye varies with the illumination. Color constancy mechanisms serve to partially stabilize object color appearance ...
متن کاملColor constancy supports cross-illumination color selection.
We rely on color to select objects as the targets of our actions (e.g., the freshest fish, the ripest fruit). To be useful for selection, color must provide accurate guidance about object identity across changes in illumination. Although the visual system partially stabilizes object color appearance across illumination changes, how such color constancy supports object selection is not understoo...
متن کاملCan illumination estimates provide the basis for color constancy?
Objects hardly appear to change color when the spectral distribution of the illumination changes: a phenomenon known as color constancy. Color constancy could either be achieved by relying on properties that are insensitive to changes in the illumination (such as spatial color contrast) or by compensating for the estimated chromaticity of the illuminant. We examined whether subjects can judge t...
متن کاملLearned Color Constancy from Local Invariant Regions
Human color constancy, the ability to correct for color deviation caused by illumination changes, is still unmatched by computer vision performances. The model used in this paper learns how illumination changes affect reference objects. It can then explain complex non-linear color transformations with only a few parameters. Global color changes can consequently be estimated from several observa...
متن کاملColor constancy under changes in reflected illumination.
Distinct physical processes can change the spectrum of the illumination that impinges on a surface. Here we consider two such changes. The first is a change in the spectrum of the light source that provides the scene illumination (light source change). The second is a change in the reflectance of a surface located near a test surface of interest (reflected light change). A color constant visual...
