Summary

The Science of Seeing True Colors: Mastering Color Constancy in Digital Images

A human observer possesses an extraordinary ability to recognize the true color of objects regardless of the lighting conditions. This phenomenon is known as color constancy. However, digital cameras, relying on sensors to measure reflected light, capture color variations influenced by the illuminant, potentially deviating from human perception. Achieving color constant descriptors from image pixels is cr…

What They're Saying

Critics Review

“I think Ebner’s Color Constancy is an excellent summary of current algorithms, and provides empirical tests in a womanlike manner … As an inclusive time capsule, it has no parallel, and therefore is a valuable contribution to the field.” (Color Research and Application, June 2008)
