چکیده

Color images often must be color balanced to remove unwanted color casts. We extend previous work on using a neural network for illumination, or white-point, estimation from the case of calibrated images to that of uncalibrated images of unknown origin. The results show that the chromaticity of the ambient illumination can be estimated with an average CIE Lab error of 5∆E. Comparisons are made to the grayworld and white patch methods.

Computational framework for the white point interpretation based on nameability

In this work we present a framework for white point estimation of images under uncalibrated conditions where multiple interpretable solutions can be considered. In this way, we propose to use the colour matching visual cue that has been proved as related to colour constancy. The colour matching process is guided by the introduction of semantic information regarding the image content. Thus, we i...

Deep Learning for Vanishing Point Detection Using an Inverse Gnomonic Projection

We present a novel approach for vanishing point detection from uncalibrated monocular images. In contrast to state-of-the-art, we make no a priori assumptions about the observed scene. Our method is based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) which does not use natural images, but a Gaussian sphere representation arising from an inverse gnomonic projection of lines detected in an image. This ...

Structure and Motion Estimation

This tutorial is concerned with the structure and motion estimation from the sequence of images taken with an uncalibrated affine camera. This problem was first addressed by Koenderink and van Doorn [1]. We will address the following problems: • Calibrated and uncalibrated affine camera models; • Tomasi and Kanade factorization method; • Sequential estimation of the structure and motion paramet...

A Versatile Method for Trifocal Tensor Estimation

Reliable estimation of the trifocal tensor is crucial for 3D reconstruction from uncalibrated cameras. The estimation process is based on minimizing the geometric distances between the measurements and the corrected data points, the underlying nonlinear optimization problem being most often solved with the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm. We employ for this task the heteroscedastic errors-in...

Mapping colour in image stitching applications

Digitally, panoramic pictures can be assembled from several individual, overlapping photographs. While the geometric alignment of these photographs has retained a lot of attention from the computer vision community, the mapping of colour, i.e. the correction of colour mismatches, has not been studied extensively. In this article, we analyze the colour rendering of today’s digital photographic s...
