임의의 물체색은 장면(scene)에 존재하는 조명과 물체 표면의 특성에 의해 결정되므로, 정확한 물체색을 표현하기 위해서는 조명색의 추정이 중요하다. 본 논문은 인지광원(perceived illumination) 현상을 확장한 방법과, 광휘점(highlight) 방법을 각각 제안하고, 두가지 방법을 결합하는 결합적 조명색 추정방법을 제안한다. 인지광원 방법은 개략적인 해의 범위를 결정하는 면에서는 안정성이 보장되나, 정확성의 측면에서는 입력영상의 내용에 의존적인 경향이 있는 단점이 있다. 광휘점 방법은 입력영상의 내용에 의존적이지 않으며, 정확한 해를 제시하는 장점이 있으나, 최종적인 해를 결정하기 위해 폭넓은 범위를 가지는 교차점인 다수의 후보들을 고려해야 하는 단점이 있다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 두 가지 방법의 상호보완적인 특성을 이용하여, 인지광원 방법의 추정결과를 가능한 해의 개략적인 범위로 설정하고, 광휘점 방법으로부터 추출된 후보점 및 분포 클러스터(cluster)들의 특성을 고려하여 최종적인 해를 결정하는 알고리즘을 제안한다.

In this paper, We implemented discriminating system for various surround illuminants using photo sensor. To discriminate surround illuminants of display device we implemented discriminating system using photo sensor which has output of Ye and Cy. Experimental results shows that we could discriminate surround illuminants by output voltage ratio (Ye/Cy) of photo sensor in the variable luminous intensity of surround illuminants.

This paper proposes an illuminant-adaptive reproduction method using light adaptation and flare conditions for a mobile display. Displayed images in daylight are perceived as quite dark due to the light adaptation of the human visual system, as the luminance of a mobile display is considerably lower than that of an outdoor environment. In addition, flare phenomena decrease the color gamut of a mobile display and de-saturating the chroma. Therefore, this paper presents an enhancement method composed of lightness enhancement and chroma compensation. First, the ambient light intensity is measured using a lux-sensor, then the flare is calculated based on the reflection ratio of the display device and the ambient light intensity. To improve the perceived image, the image's luminance is transformed by linearization of the response to the input luminance according to the ambient light intensity. Next, the displayed image is compensated according to the physically reduced chroma, resulting from flare phenomena. This study presents a color reproduction method based on an inverse cone response curve and flare condition. Consequently, the proposed algorithm improves the quality of the perceived image adaptive to an outdoor environment.

This paper proposes an illuminant estimation algorithm that estimates the spectral power distribution of an incident light source from a single image. The proposed illumination recovery procedure has two phases. First, the surface spectral reflectances are recovered in the maximum achromatic region (MAR) which is the most achromatic and highly bright region of an image after removing partially the effect of illumination using a modified gray world algorithm. Here, the surface reflectances of MAR are estimated using the principal component analysis method along with a set of given 1269 Munsell samples. Second, the Population of reflected lights is determined with 1269 Munsell samples and a set of illuminations then the spectral distribution of re(looted lights of MAR is selected from the spectral database. That is, color differences are compared between the reflected lights of the MAR and the spectral database, which is the set of reflected lights built by the given set of Munsell samples and illuminants. Then the closest colors from the spectral database are selected. Finally, the illuminant of an image can be calculated dividing the average spectral distributions of reflected lights of MAR by the average surface reflectances of the MAR. In order to evaluate the proposed algorithm, experiments with artificial scenes, which are exposed to chromatic illuminants, were performed and the spectral distribution of estimated illumination and color difference are compared with results of the conventional method.

For the purpose of color reproduction under standard viewing conditions, recently, color display devices have developed for the colorimetric color reproduction. However the real viewing condition of color display devices is quite different from that. Therefore, it is very important for reproduced colors viewed under real conditions to match the color appearance under standard situations. There are various models that can be used to reproduce corresponding colors considering the chromatic adaptation of the human visual system. However neutral point or chromatic adaptation for the luminance level is not enough. In this paper, we propose a model that find adapting white points for the variations of the luminance levels under the same illuminant. This model is modeled by the proportion of Euclidian distance for luminance level. It is the adapting white function of the sigmoid type for surround luminance level. In the model, the optimal coefficients are obtained from the Hunt's experimental result. It is applied in the chromatic adaptation model using the neutral point of the various viewing conditions. And the neutral point can be used as the theoretical standard which determines the reference white of the color display devices.

We present a hybrid method for spectral reflectivity recovery, using 3D extrapolation as a supplemental method for 3D interpolation. The proposed 3D extrapolation is an extended version of 3D interpolation based on the barycentric algorithm. It is faster and more accurate than the conventional spectral-recovery techniques of principal-component analysis and nonnegative matrix transformation. Four different extrapolation techniques (based on nearest neighbors, circumcenters, in-centers, and centroids) are formulated and applied to recover spectral reflectivity. Under the standard conditions of a D65 illuminant and 1964 $10^{\circ}$ observer, all reflectivity data from 1269 Munsell color chips are successfully reconstructed. The superiority of the proposed method is demonstrated using statistical data to compare coefficients of correlation and determination. The proposed hybrid method can be applied for fast and accurate spectral reflectivity recovery in image processing.

In this Paper, we propose the color-temperature conversion method using an one-dimensional illuminant chromaticity. It also presents the design and the implementation of the proposed method. The performance of the method is compared with that of two-dimensional conversion method in Robertson's algorithm based on calculated color temperatures. The proposed method is demonstrated experimentally for color temperatures in the range of 3,000OK to 25,000OK with the Xilinx Virtex-E FPGA XCV2000E-6BG560.

Color constancy는 다양한 광원 아래에서 사물의 색을 인지하는 능력이다. 사람의 눈은 절대적인 색상을 인지하는 것이 아니라 주변 환경과의 상대적인 색상을 인지하지만[1], 기계는 절대적인 색상 값으로 받아들이므로 기계가 광원의 영향을 받은 사물의 색상을 정확히 알기 위해서는 기계가 받아들이는 색상 값에서 광원의 영향을 제거해 주는 과정이 필요하다. 이를 카메라에서는 화이트 밸런싱 또는 칼라 밸런싱이라 부르기도 하며 이러한 과정을 위해서 다양한 기법들이 존재하는데, 영상 전체의 각 색상 채널의 평균값은 무채색이라는 Grey world 기법[2]부터, 영상에서 가장 높은 색상 값을 갖는 곳이 광원을 가장 잘 표현한다고 가정하는 White patch(Max RGB)기법[1], 색상 히스토그램 보정을 통한 화이트 밸런싱[3], 최근에는 무채색 지점에서의 각 색상 채널의 변화량이 모두 같다는 가정을 통해 무채색 지점을 찾는 Grey pixel[4] 등 많은 기법이 연구되었다. 본 연구에서는 칼라 히스토그램 보정으로 칼라 대비 개선 효과를 통해 각 색상 채널의 비율이 비슷한 곳을 무채색 지점으로 표본을 수집하여 해당 표본으로부터 칼라 벡터로서 PCA를 통한 대표 값을 추출하여 광원을 예측하는 기법을 소개한다.

본 논문에서는 컬러코드를 이용하여 증강현실 시스템에 사용 가능한 태그를 탐지하는 알고리즘을 설계하고 차단 현상에 강인한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 기존의 ARToolkit에서 태그의 일부분이 사용자 또는 다른 물체에 의해 가려지게 될 경우 증강되었던 객체가 순간 사라져 버리는 불안정성 (Instability) 문제를 해결하기 위한 방법에 초점을 맞춘다. 불안정성의 문제는 이미지 안에 태그가 존재하지만 해당하는 객체를 증강시키지 못하는 False Negative 에러와 태그가 존재하지 않는 곳에 잘못된 객체를 증강시키는 False Positive 에러로 분류 될 수 있다. 제안된 탐지 알고리즘으로 특정 컬러 영역을 분리하여 모서리 여부를 판별하고 모서리인 경우 가려진 꼭지점의 위치를 추출하여 태그가 차단에 의하여 가려졌을 때에도 객체를 안정적으로 증강시킬 수 있다. 기존 AR 시스템들의 태그를 가지고 Daylight 65, Illuminant A. CWF, TL84의 4가지의 표준 조명하에 컬러코드 4종류, ARToolkit 태그 4개, ARTag 4개를 이용하여 실험을 진행하여 차단 현상이 발생하면 전혀 객체를 증강시킬 수 없었던 ARToolkit에서도 DayLight65의 경우 50%의 False Negative. False Positive rate을 보여 기존 증강현실 시스템에서 보였던 불안정성 문제를 개선하였다.

This study investigated the actual conditions of the illumination environment from agricultural youth study room. The result, average space of the study room was 11.42[$m^2$]. The illuminant uses the fluorescent lamp mainly, Method of using illumination was only general illumination the case which uses 73.8[%]. Method of light distribution was a direct lighting mainly. The house which has a stand illumination was also 45.7[%], The percentage using the stand illumination which was a local illumination was nothing but in 20[%] of the whole subject of investigation, therefore eye work could not effective. The internal illuminance was average 131.82[lx], the desk illuminance was 253.64[lx] which was the minimum permitted limit and poor. Uniformity ratio of illuminance appeared with average 35.61[%]. The satisfaction with 3.93 points to be high for illumination environment, therefore it was thought that the recognition of illumination was very insufficient.
