Abstract

Color constancy is a problem related to how to make captured image color closer to biological vision, which is important for a lot of vision application including image stitching, visual tracking etc. Color constancy consists of light source color estimation and image white balance processing. Although, color constancy is ill-posed problem, there still are much study on it. In this paper, we try to solve this problem from illuminant invariant pixel estimation angle. LBP (Local Binary Pattern)-based statistical method is adopted as key tool for light source color estimation. Finally, experimental results demonstrate our algorithm advantage.
