A Low-Dimensional Function Space for Efficient Spectral Upsampling

We present a versatile technique to convert textures with tristimulus colors into the spectral domain, allowing such content to be used in modern rendering systems. Our method is based on the observation that suitable reflectance spectra can be represented ...

Wide Gamut Spectral Upsampling with Fluorescence

Wenzel Alban Jakob

Physically based spectral rendering has become increasingly important in recent years. However, asset textures in such systems are usually still drawn or acquired as RGB tristimulus values. While a number of RGB to spectrum upsampling techniques are availa ...

Exact Diagonalization of Heisenberg SU(N) Models

Frédéric Mila, Pierre Marcel Nataf

Building on advanced results on permutations, we show that it is possible to construct, for each irreducible representation of SU(N), an orthonormal basis labeled by the set of standard Young tableaux in which the matrix of the Heisenberg SU(N) model (the ...

What is the Space of Spectral Sensitivity Functions for Digital Color Cameras?

Sabine Süsstrunk

Camera spectral sensitivity functions relate scene radiance with captured RGB triplets. They are important for many computer vision tasks that use color information, such as multispectral imaging, color rendering, and color constancy. In this paper, we aim ...

Semantic Awareness for Automatic Image Interpretation

Albrecht Johannes Lindner

Finding relations between image semantics and image characteristics is a problem of long standing in computer vision and related fields. Despite persistent efforts and significant advances in the field, today’s computers are still strikingly unable to achi ...

A New In-Camera Imaging Model for Color Computer Vision and its Application

Sabine Süsstrunk, Seungryong Kim, Matthew Brown

We present a study of the in-camera image processing through an extensive analysis of more than 10,000 images from over 30 cameras. The goal of this work is to investigate if image values can be transformed to physically meaningful values, and if so, when ...

Evaluation of a Hyperspectral Image Database for Demosaicking Purposes

Sabine Süsstrunk

We present a study on the the applicability of hyperspectral images to evaluate color filter array (CFA) design and the performance of demosaicking algorithms. The aim is to simulate a typical digital still camera processing pipe-line and to compare two di ...

Exploiting redundancy in color images

Joanna Marguier

The colors in a digital image do not only depend on the scene's reflectances, but also on the lighting conditions and on the characteristics of the imaging device. It is often necessary to separate the influence of these three elements, in particular to se ...

Illuminant estimation and detection using near infrared

Sabine Süsstrunk

Digital camera sensors are sensitive to wavelengths ranging from the ultraviolet (200-400nm) to the near-infrared (700-100nm) bands. This range is, however, reduced because the aim of photographic cameras is to capture and reproduce the visible spectrum (4 ...

A Home Décor expert in your camera

Sabine Süsstrunk, Joanna Marguier

We present a method to give color advice for Home Décor using images of room finishes, such as paint, flooring, or textiles, taken with uncalibrated cameras. Due to variations in color rendering across devices, an object imaged with different cameras will ...

Illuminant retrieval for fixed location cameras

Sabine Süsstrunk, Joanna Marguier

Fixed location cameras, such as panoramic cameras or surveillance cameras, are very common. In images taken with these cameras, there will be changes in lighting and dynamic image content, but there will also be constant objects in the background. We propo ...

Assessing human skin color from uncalibrated images

Sabine Süsstrunk, Joanna Marguier

Images of a scene captured with multiple cameras will have different color values due to variations in color rendering across devices. We present a method to accurately retrieve color information from uncalibrated images taken under uncontrolled lighting c ...

Color correction of uncalibrated images for the classification of human skin color

Sabine Süsstrunk, Joanna Marguier

Images of a scene captured with multiple cameras will have different color values due to variations in capture and color rendering across devices. We present a method to accurately retrieve color information from uncalibrated images taken under uncontrolle ...

Automatic Red-Eye Removal based on Sclera and Skin Tone Detection

Patrick Vandewalle, Flavien Volken, Johann Terrier

It is well-known that taking portrait photographs with a built in camera may create a red-eye effect. This effect is caused by the light entering the subject’s eye through the pupil and reflecting from the retina back to the sensor. These red eyes are prob ...

Evaluating Chromatic Adaptation Transform Performance

Sabine Süsstrunk

The performance of many color science and imaging algorithms are evaluated based on their mean errors. However, if these errors are not normally distributed, statistical evaluations based on the mean are not appropriate performance metrics. We present a no ...

Consistent image-based measurement and classification of skin color

Sabine Süsstrunk

Little prior image processing work has addressed estimation and classification of skin color in a manner that is independent of camera and illuminant. To this end, we first present new methods for 1) fast, easy-to-use image color correction, with specializ ...
