Comprehensive Colour Image Normalization

ABSTRACT

The same scene viewed under two different illuminants induces two different colour images. If the two illuminants are the same colour but are placed at different positions then corresponding rgb pixels are related by simple scale factors. In contrast if the lighting geometry is held fixed but the colour of the light changes then it is the individual colour channels (e.g. all the red pixel values or all the green pixels) that are a scaling apart. It is well known that the image dependencies due to lighting geometry and illuminant colour can be respectively removed by normalizing the magnitude of the rgb pixel triplets (e.g. by calculating chromaticities) and by normalizing the lengths of each colour channel (by running the `grey-world' colour constancy algorithm). However, neither normalization suffices to account for changes in both the lighting geometry and illuminant colour.
