A new line of research uses compression methods to measure the similarity between signals. Two signals are considered similar if one can be compressed significantly when the information of the other is known. The existing compression-based…
Computational color constancy, or white balancing, is a key module in a camera's image signal processor (ISP) that corrects color casts from scene lighting. Because this operation occurs in the camera-specific raw color space, white balance…
The assumption of a uniform light color distribution is no longer applicable in scenes that have multiple light colors. Most color constancy methods are designed to deal with a single light color, and thus are erroneous when applied to…
