In general, a linear transformation using a 3× 3 correction matrix without error. In another study, Cheng et al.

Most of the studies for color illumination, and the diagonal matrix transformation under certain constancy adopt this linear model, but the relationship of illumination conditions can estimate RGB illumination with small illumination and the camera spectral sensitivity (CSS) is only error. Cheng et al. also reported that this issue is related to intricate partially understood. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze linear relationship between the illumination spectrum and CSS. combination of the illumination spectrum and the CSS using In this paper, hyperspectral data under actual illumination is hyperspectral data that have much more information than RGB. analyzed, which enables an investigation beyond the limitations of After estimating the illumination correction matrix we elucidate 3D RGB color space. Through this work, we identify the reason for the accuracy dependence on illumination spectrum and the camera the observation in the Cheng’s work [8], why diagonal model is as sensor response, which can be applied to CSS. effective as the full matrix for some illumination spectrum. Unlike the Chong’s mathematical analysis [7], which evaluates the illumination correction matrix on the assumption that the camera Index Terms — Color constancy, illuminant estimation, sensitivity function can have low rank, this paper assumes a camera spectral sensitivity general situation where a camera sensitivity function is given, and identify the reasons for the varying accuracy of RGB illumination 1. INTRODUCTION AND RELEATED WORK estimates. The human visual system can compensate for the effect of The structure of this paper is as follows. In Section 2, we illumination, so that color of an object can be perceived describe existing models for estimating the illumination correction consistently even though illumination changes. However, the matrix in RGB color space using hyperspectral data. In Section 3, image acquired through a camera, which captures physical signal we analyze errors of a 3x3 RGB illumination estimation matrix. intensity of the receiving light, is influenced by the illumination Finally, the conclusions and discussions of this study follow in spectrum. Finding the actual reflectance of an object by Section 4. compensating for the color of such illumination has been studied in the field of computational color constancy [1]. Implementation of color constancy can be divided into two stages: first, spectrum of 2. ESTIMATION OF RGB ILLUMINATION the illumination is estimated, and then, color of the image is corrected based on the estimated lighting. For image correction, 2.1 Hyperspectral to RGB illumination modeling white balancing is generally applied using a 3×3 diagonal matrix We analyze existing methods of estimating the illumination [2]-[4]. White balance aims at recovering achromatic color from an correction matrix in the RGB color space with hyperspectral data, image taken under unknown illumination. Since the method of which enables an accurate description of color correction error. correcting illumination using the diagonal matrix does not correct Under Lambertian reflectance image spectrum can be modeled as a colors other than achromatic colors, there is a limitation in that it is multiplication of the spectral components of the illumination and not possible to achieve color correction for the entire color gamut the reflectance of the object. Let D represent a hyperspectral image presented in the image. with an m×n matrix, where m is the number of spectral bands and In order to improve the color correction performance of the n is the number of pixels in the image. D can be expressed as a diagonal matrix transformation model, narrowing the wavelength product of the reflectance R whose dimension is m×n and the width of the sensitivity function of each RGB filter of the camera illumination L which is an m× m diagonal matrix. by a linear transformation is proposed [5]. In addition, there is a color correction method that realizes color consistency by 퐃퐦×퐧 = 퐋퐦×퐦퐑퐦×퐧 (1) estimating 9 elements of a 3×3 full matrix considering the correlation between RGB color channels, and is generally more RGB image is a projection of the hyperspectral data to the effective than diagonal white balancing method [6][12].

The However, despite the widespread use of this linear RGB image D3 is 3×n matrix and the RGB reflectance R3 is a 3×n transformation model, most studies focus on how to implement the matrix. color constancy in the RGB color space; the underlying principles for color correction is not fully investigated yet. In contrast, Chong [7] proved that if the rank of the tensor of illumination, reflectance, IS&T International Symposium on Electronic Imaging 2019 Color Imaging XXIV: Displaying, Processing, Hardcopy, and Applications 093-1 ퟐ ퟐ Figure 1.

Therefore, SLR and MSR do not of the reflectance and the illumination spectrum, all the match because there is no unique solution to project the hyperspectral data are normalized to the maximum value of 1 to illumination perfectly onto the three dimensional space. facilitate the experiment and the result analysis. We use the reflectance of a 24-patch Macbeth chart, which is often used as 2.2 Estimation of the illumination matrix reference measurements in color calibration. The camera White balancing, which is commonly used in color constancy, sensitivity function for projecting hyperspectral data into the RGB calibrates color usually by a diagonal matrix. This method aims at color space uses the dataset measured by Jiang et al. [10]. The adjusting the illumination vector on the white reference in the RGB experiment of this work is based on Cheng et al. [8], which has color space of the camera to be aligned to the direction of R = G = 101 illuminant spectra measured in a variety of weather conditions B, which is an achromatic vector. Mathematically, this means that [11], the illumination correction matrix M of the RGB color space the scale of each color channel is independently adjusted by is estimated for this hyperspectral data, and the RMSE between multiplying the diagonal element having the weights for each RGB MSR and SLR is calculated to analyze the accuracy of illumination illumination, while the correlation among RGB colors of estimation. illumination is ignored. Diagonal element mdi for each channel The performance of the diagonal and full matrix model for i= r, g, b of RGB illumination matrix Md can be calculated using illumination is compared as in [8]. Figure 1 is a graph comparing camera sensitivity function and illumination spectrum. Where the accuracy of Md and M+ estimated using SFU illuminants and T wm×1 = [1, ⋯ ,1] is the m-dimensional ideal white illumination, two different camera sensitivity functions. Illumination spectrum is T and lm×1 = diag(L) = [l1, ⋯ , lm] is an m × 1 column vector sorted according to the CCT (correlated color temperature) and consisting of the diagonal components of the illumination matrix.

  • The Art of Digital Black & White by Jeff Schewe There's Just Something
    The Art of Digital Black & White By Jeff Schewe There’s just something magical about watching an image develop on a piece of photo paper in the developer tray…to see the paper go from being just a blank white piece of paper to becoming a photograph is what many photographers think of when they think of Black & White photography. That process of watching the image develop is what got me hooked on photography over 30 years ago and Black & White is where my heart really lives even though I’ve done more color work professionally. I used to have the brown stains on my fingers like any good darkroom tech, but commercially, I turned toward color photography. Later, when going digital, I basically gave up being able to ever achieve what used to be commonplace from the darkroom–until just recently. At about the same time Kodak announced it was going to stop making Black & White photo paper, Epson announced their new line of digital ink jet printers and a new ink, Ultrachrome K3 (3 Blacks- hence the K3), that has given me hope of returning to darkroom quality prints but with a digital printer instead of working in a smelly darkroom environment. Combine the new printers with the power of digital image processing in Adobe Photoshop and the capabilities of recent digital cameras and I think you’ll see a strong trend towards photographers going digital to get the best Black & White prints possible. Making the optimal Black & White print digitally is not simply a click of the shutter and push button printing.

The assumption under- lying this algorithm is that the highest values of R, G, B observed in the image must correspond to white, and the lowest values to obscurity. The algorithm simply stretches, as much as it can, the values of the three channels Red, Green, Blue (R, G, B), so that they occupy the maximal possible range [0, 255] by applying an affine transform ax+b to each channel. Since many images contain a few aberrant pixels that already occupy the 0 and 255 values, the proposed method saturates a small percentage of the pixels with the highest values to 255 and a small percentage of the pixels with the lowest values to 0, before applying the affine transform.
