A perception-based color space for illumination-invariant image processing

Published: 01 August 2008 Publication History

Abstract

Motivated by perceptual principles, we derive a new color space in which the associated metric approximates perceived distances and color displacements capture relationships that are robust to spectral changes in illumination. The resulting color space can be used with existing image processing algorithms with little or no change to the methods.
