Assessing human skin color from uncalibrated images

Sabine Süsstrunk, Joanna Marguier

Images of a scene captured with multiple cameras will have different color values due to variations in color rendering across devices. We present a method to accurately retrieve color information from uncalibrated images taken under uncontrolled lighting c ...

Non-autoclave processing of sandwich structures: the role of prepreg through thickness air permeability

Véronique Michaud

Non-autoclave processing of honeycomb sandwich structures generally leads to poor compaction and high porosity of the skins along with a decreased skin-core adhesion. Air permeability of the skins, a critical parameter of low pressure processing, is often ...

Automatic Red-Eye Removal based on Sclera and Skin Tone Detection

Patrick Vandewalle, Flavien Volken, Johann Terrier

It is well-known that taking portrait photographs with a built in camera may create a red-eye effect. This effect is caused by the light entering the subject’s eye through the pupil and reflecting from the retina back to the sensor. These red eyes are prob ...

Consistent image-based measurement and classification of skin color

Sabine Süsstrunk

Little prior image processing work has addressed estimation and classification of skin color in a manner that is independent of camera and illuminant. To this end, we first present new methods for 1) fast, easy-to-use image color correction, with specializ ...

The Influence of Luminance on Local Tone Mapping

Sabine Süsstrunk, Laurence Meylan

We study the influence of the choice of color space for local tone mapping methods. Many local tone mapping methods do not perform well when applied independently to the three color channels of an RGB image. A common solution is to only treat the luminance ...

Incrustation de microstructures par écarts chromatiques

Electronic imaging devices produce the illusion of synthesizing continuous colors by applying halftones, which are repetitive structures of discrete micro-elements. By themselves, these microstructures do not carry any meaning: their only purpose is to foo ...

Method for hair removal

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières

A method for hair removal from a skin area by selective photo-inactivation of the pilo-sebaceous apparatus using ALA, derivatives of ALA, for example those with alkylene-glycol chains. Selectivity of the method is further enhanced by treatment of the epide ...

Color Encodings for Image Databases

Sabine Süsstrunk

There are a number of color encoding standards that have lately been developed ant are being proposed to the imaging community for different encoding steps in the color imaging workflow, optimized for different purposes. In this paper, their applicability ...

Color Handling in Panoramic Photography

Sabine Süsstrunk, David Hasler

Nowadays, the ability to create panoramic photographs is included with most of the commercial digital cameras. The principle is to shoot several pictures and stitch them together to build a panorama. To ensure the quality of the final image, the different ...

Method for generating a security document

Roger Hersch

The described method is used for generating a security document by applying a security pattern to an original image. The security pattern comprises a plurality of points, wherein each of said points represents a pattern value. Local averages are calculated ...
