The problem of color constancy may be solved if we can recover the physical properties of
illuminants and surfaces from photosensor responses. We consider this problem within the …

Vision provides information about the properties and identity of objects. The ease with which
we perceive object properties belies the difficulty of the underlying information-processing …

Most empirical work on color constancy is based on simple laboratory models of natural
viewing conditions. These typically consist of spots seen against uniform backgrounds or …

White balance is a crucial step in the photographic pipeline. It ensures the proper rendition
of images by eliminating color casts due to differing illuminants. Digital cameras and editing …

We decided to test a surprisingly simple hypothesis; namely, that the relationship between
an image of a scene and the chromaticity of scene illumination could be learned by a neural …

“15 seconds of fame” is an interactive art installation which elevates the face of a randomly
selected observer for 15 seconds into a “work of art”. The installation was inspired by Andy …

Color can be a useful feature in autonomous vehicle systems that are based on machine
vision, for tasks such as obstacle detection, lane/road following, and recognition of …

The main thrust of this paper is to investigate the multi-scale retinex (MSR) approach to
image enhancement to explain the effect of the processing from a theoretical standpoint …

We present an algorithm which uses information from both surface reflectance and
illumination variation to solve for color constancy. Most color constancy algorithms assume …

The color associated with an object in machine vision images is not constant; under varying
illuminating and viewing conditions (such as in outdoor images), the perceived color of an …
