Hiding patterns with daylight fluorescent inks

Roger Hersch, Romain Rossier

We propose a method for hiding patterns within printed images by making use of classical and of two daylight fluorescent magenta and yellow inks. Under the D65 illuminant we establish in the CIELAB space the gamut of a classical cmyk printer and the gamut ...

Enhancing the Specular Effect of Metallic Color Prints by Reducing the Use of Yellow Ink

Roger Hersch, Andrea Maesani, Thomas Bugnon

The MetallicArt technique is used as a visual security feature to hide patterns in CMY images using an additional silver ink. The patterns are hidden under nonspecular viewing conditions and visible under specular viewing conditions. By varying the amount ...

Revisiting Radiometric Calibration for Color Computer Vision

Sabine Süsstrunk, Seungryong Kim, Matthew Brown

We present a study of radiometric calibration and the in-camera imaging process through an extensive analysis of more than 10,000 images from over 30 cameras. The goal is to investigate if image values can be transformed to physically meaningful values and ...

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 ...

A Home Décor expert in your camera

Sabine Süsstrunk, Joanna Marguier

We present a method to give color advice for Home Décor using images of room finishes, such as paint, flooring, or textiles, taken with uncalibrated cameras. Due to variations in color rendering across devices, an object imaged with different cameras will ...

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 ...

Capture and systematic use of expert color analysis

Sabine Süsstrunk

Embodiments of the present invention recite a method of compiling color analysis parameters. In one embodiment of the present invention, a corrected color description of at least one test subject is constructed. The corrected color description of at least ...

Printing color images visible under uv light on security documents and valuable articles

Roger Hersch, Sylvain Chosson, Philipp Donzé

In the present invention, we propose a method of creating fluorescent color images visible under UV light. It relies on the new colorants that can be achieved by superposing ink dots, possibly at a reduced size, in order to avoid quenching effects. It also ...

Spectral prediction model for color prints on paper with fluorescent additives

Roger Hersch

I propose a model for predicting the total reflectance of color halftones printed on paper incorporating fluorescent brighteners. The total reflectance is modeled as the additive superposition of the relative fluorescent emission and the pure reflectance o ...

Color images visible under UV light

Roger Hersch, Sylvain Chosson, Philipp Donzé

The present contribution aims at creating color images printed with fluorescent inks that are only visible under UV light. The considered fluorescent inks absorb light in the UV wavelength range and reemit part of it in the visible wavelength range. In con ...
