Description for Color Constancy
Hardcover. This book is a detailed investigation into how understanding the human visual system can lead to the development of colour constancy in a range of applications, from digital photography to object colour recognition in robotics. The book begins with an in-depth discussion of the human visual system and how we perceive colour. Series: Wiley-IS&T Series in Imaging Science and Technology. Num Pages: 408 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: MJQ; TTB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 250 x 174 x 24. Weight in Grams: 1016.
A human observer is able to recognize the color of objects irrespective of the light used to illuminate them. This is called color constancy. A digital camera uses a sensor to measure the reflected light, meaning that the measured color at each pixel varies according to the color of the illuminant. Therefore, the resulting colors may not be the same as the colors that were perceived by the observer. Obtaining color constant descriptors from image pixels is not only important for digital photography, but also valuable for computer vision, color-based automatic object recognition, and color image processing in general. ...

Reviews for Color Constancy
"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)
