Embodiment Construction

[0027] In view of the fact that human vision itself has the ability of color constancy, it can automatically correct the color shift in the scene, the retina has the ability to adapt to light and dark, and the characteristics of the retinal neuron receptive field, based on this, the present invention proposes a multi-light source based on the physiological mechanism of the retina Color const method. This method simulates the light-dark adaptation ability of vision and the characteristics of retinal neuron receptive fields, and establishes a model based on ON-type and OFF-type receptive fields based on the division of bright and dark areas. This model can well estimate the position and Color, and parameters can be adjusted to adapt to different scene images.

[0028] The following is a specific description through an embodiment.

Abstract

The invention discloses an image color constant method in a multi-light source environment. The invention proposes a multi-light source color constant method based on the physiological mechanism of the retina, which simulates the visual light-dark adaptation ability and the characteristics of the retinal neuron receptive field, and establishes the following method: A model based on ON and OFF receptive fields based on the division of bright and dark areas, this model can well estimate the position and color of the light source, and can adjust parameters to adapt to different scene images. The method of the present invention has the characteristics of few parameters, simple calculation, fast speed, good effect, and real-time processing, and is very suitable for being built in the front end of physical equipment preprocessing to estimate the color of the scene light source in the image.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of computer vision and image processing, and in particular relates to scene multi-light source color estimation and image color correction technology of color images. Background technique [0002] In the natural environment, the human visual system has the ability to resist the color change of the light source in the scene. For example, for the same scene, whether it is illuminated by yellowish sunlight in the morning or reddish sunlight in the evening, the color of the scene perceived by our visual system remains constant. This ability is also called Color constancy of the visual system. Limited by technical conditions, the pictures taken by current imaging devices such as cameras often have different degrees of color shift due to the influence of the color of the light source in the scene. This color shift caused by the color of the light source in the scene will make the subsequent computer vision Appli...
