Color has been scientifically investigated by linking color appearance to colorimetric
measurements of the light that enters the eye. However, the main purpose of color …

Illumination in natural scenes changes at multiple temporal and spatial scales: slow
changes in global illumination occur in the course of a day, and we encounter fast and …

The perception of color poses daunting challenges, because the light spectrum reaching the
eye depends on both the reflectance of objects and the spectrum of the illuminating light …
