Event-based pixel sensitive to changes of color and brightness

Vision sensors whose pixels asynchronously generate informative output events are gathering increasing interest because they can reduce the data latency, rate, and redundancy, while also increasing dynamic range. This paper proposes such a dynamic vision s ...

Highly Efficient Mesoscopic Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Based on Donor-Acceptor-Substituted Porphyrins

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Takeru Bessho

To dye for: A porphyrin chromophore, which is integrated into a donor-acceptor dye as a π-conjugated bridge (see picture), exhibits an unprecedented efficiency of 11 □ % when used as a photosensitizer in a double-layer TiO2 film. A greatly enhanced photovo ...

Exploiting redundancy in color images

Joanna Marguier

The colors in a digital image do not only depend on the scene's reflectances, but also on the lighting conditions and on the characteristics of the imaging device. It is often necessary to separate the influence of these three elements, in particular to se ...

Daylight illuminant retrieval using redundant image elements

Sabine Süsstrunk, Joanna Marguier

We present a method for retrieving illuminant spectra from a set of images taken with a fixed location camera, such as a surveillance or panoramic one. In these images, there will be significant changes in lighting conditions and scene content, but there w ...

Filling-in afterimage colors between the lines

Marcus Leonardus Vergeer

It is known that when a colored surface is viewed for some time and a blank screen is presented afterwards, an afterimage can be perceived in the complementary color. Color appearances in afterimages are due to adaptation of retinal cones and they are espe ...

Illuminant estimation and detection using near infrared

Sabine Süsstrunk

Digital camera sensors are sensitive to wavelengths ranging from the ultraviolet (200-400nm) to the near-infrared (700-100nm) bands. This range is, however, reduced because the aim of photographic cameras is to capture and reproduce the visible spectrum (4 ...

Repairing Gamut Problems in CIECAM02: A Progress Report

Sabine Süsstrunk

The color-appearance model CIECAM02 has several problems, which can result in mathematical instabilities, due to the relation of the chromatic-adaptation primaries to the spectrum locus and to the presumed physiological cone primaries. To keep a correspond ...

Illuminant retrieval for fixed location cameras

Sabine Süsstrunk, Joanna Marguier

Fixed location cameras, such as panoramic cameras or surveillance cameras, are very common. In images taken with these cameras, there will be changes in lighting and dynamic image content, but there will also be constant objects in the background. We propo ...

Digital Camera Workflow for High Dynamic Range Images Using a Model of Retinal Processing

Sabine Süsstrunk, Laurence Meylan, Daniel Tamburrino

We propose a complete digital camera workflow to capture and render high dynamic range (HDR) static scenes, from RAW sensor data to an output- referred encoded image. In traditional digital camera processing, demosaicing is one of the first operations done ...

Robust Method for Real-time, Continuous, 3D Detection of Obstructed Faces in Indoors Environments

Charles Baur, Sébastien Grange

We address the need for robust detection of obstructed human features in complex environments, with a focus on intelligent surgical UIs. In our setup, real-time detection is used to find features without the help of local (spatial or temporal) information. ...
