Illuminant estimation as cue combination.
نویسنده
چکیده
This work briefly describes a model for illuminant estimation based on combination of candidate illuminant cues. Many of the research issues concerning cue combination in depth and shape perception translate well to the study of surface color perception. I describe and illustrate a particular experimental approach (perturbation analysis) employed in the study of depth and shape that is useful in determining whether hypothetical illuminant cues are actually used in color vision.

Illuminant cues in surface color perception: tests of three candidate cues
Many recent computational models of surface color perception presuppose information about illumination in scenes. The models differ primarily in the physical process each makes use of as a cue to the illuminant. We evaluated whether the human visual system makes use of any of three of the following candidate illuminant cues: (1) specular highlight, (2) full surface specularity [Lee, H. C. (1986...
متن کاملReproduction Angular Error: An Improved Performance Metric for Illuminant Estimation
Only if we can estimate the colour of the prevailing light and discount it from the image can image colour be used as a stable cue for indexing, recognition and tracking (amongst other tasks). Almost all illumination estimation research uses the angle between the RGB of the actual measured illuminant colour and that estimated one as the recovery error. However here we identify a problem with th...
متن کاملColor constancy in natural scenes independent of an explicit illuminant cue
The ability of observers to make reliable judgments of surface color despite changes in an illuminant (“color constancy”) has sometimes been attributed to their estimating the spectral properties of the illuminant in order to discount its effects. To test how information about the illuminant contributes to surface-color judgments, observers’ performance in two surface-color-matching experiments...
متن کاملThe effect of Illuminant position on perceived curvature
In shaded scenes surface features can appear either concave or convex, depending upon the viewer's judgement about the direction of the prevailing illumination. If other curvature cues are added to the image this ambiguity can be removed. However, it is not clear to what extent, if any, illuminant position exerts an influence on the perceived magnitude of surface curvature. Subjects were presen...
متن کاملNatural image database and its use for scene illuminant estimation
This paper describes a database collecting natural color images, called the Natural Image Database, and shows how it is used for illuminant estimation problems. First, we present significant features of the database. This database is not only a collection of color images of natural scenes, but also includes scene illuminant spectra and camera calibration data. Because these data sets are availa...
