Implementations of a Novel Algorithm for Colour

In agreement with the principles of the relativistic model proposed by Creutzfeldt et aL, with the photometric rule (lightness anchoring rule) and with the influence of simultaneous contrast in the appearance of a visual scene, we propose a first-stage mechanism yielding substantial colour constancy. We have defined a set of first-stage colour descriptors, and to test their utility, we have performed a simulation using a Machine Vision System (MVS). The statistical stability of the descriptors for Munsell samples under different illuminants is good. © 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd. Colour constancy Computer simulation
