Accurate color characterization of solar photovoltaic modules for building integration

Christophe Ballif, Antonin Faes, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Jordi Escarre Palou, Alejandro Borja Block

Accurate and reproducible color characterization is essential for colored building integrated photovoltaic products, both for manufacturing quality control and assessing long-term color stability. However, existing characterization techniques struggle to a ...

Discomfort glare from daylight: Influence of transmitted color and the eye's macular pigment

Sneha Jain

Designing architectural façades that allow sufficient daylight to create visually comfortable and pleasant environments is a challenging aspect of building design. It requires accounting for visual comfort and discomfort glare risks and understanding the f ...

WikiArtVectors: Style and Color Representations of Artworks for Cultural Analysis via Information Theoretic Measures

Bhargav Srinivasa Desikan

With the increase in massive digitized datasets of cultural artefacts, social and cultural scientists have an unprecedented opportunity for the discovery and expansion of cultural theory. The WikiArt dataset is one such example, with over 250,000 high qual ...

A Low-Dimensional Function Space for Efficient Spectral Upsampling

Wenzel Alban Jakob

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 ...

Color Representation in Deep Neural Networks

Sabine Süsstrunk, Martin Pierre Engilberge, Edo Collins

Convolutional neural networks are top-performers on image classification tasks. Understanding how they make use of color information in images may be useful for various tasks. In this paper we analyze the representation learned by a popular CNN to detect a ...

Hiding patterns with daylight fluorescent inks

Roger Hersch, Romain Rossier

We propose a method for hiding patterns within printed images by making use of classical and of two daylight fluorescent magenta and yellow inks. Under the D65 illuminant we establish in the CIELAB space the gamut of a classical cmyk printer and the gamut ...

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 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 ...

Printing color images visible under uv light on security documents and valuable articles

Roger Hersch, Sylvain Chosson, Philipp Donzé

In the present invention, we propose a method of creating fluorescent color images visible under UV light. It relies on the new colorants that can be achieved by superposing ink dots, possibly at a reduced size, in order to avoid quenching effects. It also ...

Color images visible under UV light

Roger Hersch, Sylvain Chosson, Philipp Donzé

The present contribution aims at creating color images printed with fluorescent inks that are only visible under UV light. The considered fluorescent inks absorb light in the UV wavelength range and reemit part of it in the visible wavelength range. In con ...
