Visual information, in the form of images and video, comes from the interaction of light with objects. Illumination is a fundamental element of visual information. Detecting and interpreting illumination effects is part of our everyday life visual experien ...
Color images acquired through single chip digital cameras using a color filter array (CFA) contain a mixture of luminance and opponent chromatic information that share their representation in the spatial Fourier spectrum. This mixture could result in alias ...
In this paper, we present an algorithm for the detection of local illumination changes due to shadows in real world sequences. The algorithm is designed to be able to work when camera, illumination and scene’s characteristics are unknown. This feature is h ...
The spectral properties of chromatic detection mechanisms were investigated using a noise-masking paradigm. Contrast detection thresholds were measured for a signal with a Gaussian spatial profile, modulated in the equiluminant plane in the presence of spa ...

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 ...
There is an analogy between single-chip color cameras and the human visual system in that these two systems acquire only one limited wavelength sensitivity band per spatial location. We have exploited this analogy, defining a model that characterizes a one ...
In this report, higher order color mechanisms for the detection of spatial distributions of color are investigated. The objective of this work is to understand which are the visual mechanisms involved in chromatic detection tasks and to dene the properties ...
Chromatic adaptation transforms are used in imaging system to map image appearance to colorimetry under different illumination sources. In this paper, the performance of different chromatic adaptation transforms (CAT) is compared with the performance of tr ...
In this paper, we present a spherical sampling technique that can be employed to find optimal sensors for trichromatic color applications. The advantage over other optimization techniques is that it assures a global minimum is found, and that not only one, ...
