Color Constancy for Scenes with Varying Illumination (Color Constancy with Varying Illumination)

چکیده
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 constrain the solution. The constraint is applied conjunctively to constraints found from surface reflectances. Thus the algorithm can provide good color constancy when there is sufficient variation in surface reflectances, or sufficient illumination variation, or a combination of both. We present the results of running the algorithm on several real scenes, and the results are very encouraging.

Achieving Color Constancy and Illumination Compensation
Human vision system is able to adapt to the changes of lighting conditions to a great extent but machine vision cannot adapt itself to these color changes which presents a challenge. Color constancy and illumination variation compensation are important cue in object identification, tracking, surveillance and other threat assessments. The objective will be directed towards an effort to obtain th...
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 and the complexity of color ∗
We can start with a definition. “[C]olour constancy is the constancy of the perceived colours of surfaces under changes in the intensity and spectral composition of the illumination.” (Foster et al. 1997) Given the definition we can now ask a question: Does human color vision exhibit color constancy?1 The answer to the question depends in part on how we interpret it. If the question is understo...
متن کاملNon-parametric Clasification of Pixels Under Varying Outdoor Illumination
Using color for visual recognition outdoors has proven to be a difficult problem, chiefly due to varying illumination. Attempts to classify pixels or image patches in outdoor scenes based on their RGB values often fail, partly because of the inadequacy of the feature set, but partly because of color shifts due to changes in illumination are not well modeled as random noise. Approaches which att...
متن کاملColor constancy in variegated scenes: role of low-level mechanisms in discounting illumination changes.
For a visual system to possess color constancy across varying illumination, chromatic signals from a scene must remain constant at some neural stage. We found that photoreceptor and opponent-color signals from a large sample of natural and man-made objects under one kind of natural daylight were almost perfectly correlated with the signals from those objects under every other spectrally differe...
