Title Colour categories boundaries are better defined in contextual conditions Type Journal Article
Year 2009 Publication Perception Abbreviated Journal PER  
Volume 38 Issue Pages 36  
Keywords  
Abstract In a previous experiment [Parraga et al, 2009 Journal of Imaging Science and Technology 53(3)] the boundaries between basic colour categories were measured by asking subjects to categorize colour samples presented in isolation (ie on a dark background) using a YES/NO paradigm. Results showed that some boundaries (eg green – blue) were very diffuse and the subjects' answers presented bimodal distributions, which were attributed to the emergence of non-basic categories in those regions (eg turquoise). To confirm these results we performed a new experiment focussed on the boundaries where bimodal distributions were more evident. In this new experiment rectangular colour samples were presented surrounded by random colour patches to simulate contextual conditions on a calibrated CRT monitor. The names of two neighbouring colours were shown at the bottom of the screen and subjects selected the boundary between these colours by controlling the chromaticity of the central patch, sliding it across these categories' frontier. Results show that in this new experimental paradigm, the formerly uncertain inter-colour category boundaries are better defined and the dispersions (ie the bimodal distributions) that occurred in the previous experiment disappear. These results may provide further support to Berlin and Kay's basic colour terms theory.

Title La influencia del contexto en la definicion de las fronteras entre las categorias cromaticas Type Conference Article
Year 2010 Publication 9th Congreso Nacional del Color Abbreviated Journal  
Volume Issue Pages 92–95  
Keywords Categorización del color; Apariencia del color; Influencia del contexto; Patrones de Mondrian; Modelos paramétricos  
Abstract En este artículo presentamos los resultados de un experimento de categorización de color en el que las muestras se presentaron sobre un fondo multicolor (Mondrian) para simular los efectos del contexto. Los resultados se comparan con los de un experimento previo que, utilizando un paradigma diferente, determinó las fronteras sin tener en cuenta el contexto. El análisis de los resultados muestra que las fronteras obtenidas con el experimento en contexto presentan menos confusión que las obtenidas en el experimento sin contexto.

Title Exploring the combination of color cues for intrinsic image decomposition Type Report
Year 2014 Publication CVC Technical Report Abbreviated Journal  
Volume 178 Issue Pages  
Keywords  
Abstract Intrinsic image decomposition is a challenging problem that consists in separating an image into its physical characteristics: reflectance and shading. This problem can be solved in different ways, but most methods have combined information from several visual cues. In this work we describe an extension of an existing method proposed by Serra et al. which considers two color descriptors and combines them by means of a Markov Random Field. We analyze in depth the weak points of the method and we explore more possibilities to use in both descriptors. The proposed extension depends on the combination of the cues considered to overcome some of the limitations of the original method. Our approach is tested on the MIT dataset and Beigpour et al. dataset, which contain images of real objects acquired under controlled conditions and synthetic images respectively, with their corresponding ground truth.

Title Discriminative Color Descriptors Type Conference Article
Year 2013 Publication IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Abbreviated Journal  
Volume Issue Pages 2866 - 2873  
Keywords  
Abstract Color description is a challenging task because of large variations in RGB values which occur due to scene accidental events, such as shadows, shading, specularities, illuminant color changes, and changes in viewing geometry. Traditionally, this challenge has been addressed by capturing the variations in physics-based models, and deriving invariants for the undesired variations. The drawback of this approach is that sets of distinguishable colors in the original color space are mapped to the same value in the photometric invariant space. This results in a drop of discriminative power of the color description. In this paper we take an information theoretic approach to color description. We cluster color values together based on their discriminative power in a classification problem. The clustering has the explicit objective to minimize the drop of mutual information of the final representation. We show that such a color description automatically learns a certain degree of photometric invariance. We also show that a universal color representation, which is based on other data sets than the one at hand, can obtain competing performance. Experiments show that the proposed descriptor outperforms existing photometric invariants. Furthermore, we show that combined with shape description these color descriptors obtain excellent results on four challenging datasets, namely, PASCAL VOC 2007, Flowers-102, Stanford dogs-120 and Birds-200.

Title Towards multispectral data acquisition with hand-held devices Type Conference Article
Year 2013 Publication 20th IEEE International Conference on Image Processing Abbreviated Journal  
Volume Issue Pages 2053 - 2057  
Keywords Multispectral; mobile devices; color measurements  
Abstract We propose a method to acquire multispectral data with handheld devices with front-mounted RGB cameras. We propose to use the display of the device as an illuminant while the camera captures images illuminated by the red, green and
blue primaries of the display. Three illuminants and three response functions of the camera lead to nine response values which are used for reflectance estimation. Results are promising and show that the accuracy of the spectral reconstruction improves in the range from 30-40% over the spectral
reconstruction based on a single illuminant. Furthermore, we propose to compute sensor-illuminant aware linear basis by discarding the part of the reflectances that falls in the sensorilluminant null-space. We show experimentally that optimizing reflectance estimation on these new basis functions decreases
the RMSE significantly over basis functions that are independent to sensor-illuminant. We conclude that, multispectral data acquisition is potentially possible with consumer hand-held devices such as tablets, mobiles, and laptops, opening up applications which are currently considered to be unrealistic.

Title A Neurodynamical Model of Brightness Induction in V1 Type Journal Article
Year 2013 Publication PloS ONE Abbreviated Journal Plos  
Volume 8 Issue 5 Pages e64086  
Keywords  
Abstract Brightness induction is the modulation of the perceived intensity of an area by the luminance of surrounding areas. Recent neurophysiological evidence suggests that brightness information might be explicitly represented in V1, in contrast to the more common assumption that the striate cortex is an area mostly responsive to sensory information. Here we investigate possible neural mechanisms that offer a plausible explanation for such phenomenon. To this end, a neurodynamical model which is based on neurophysiological evidence and focuses on the part of V1 responsible for contextual influences is presented. The proposed computational model successfully accounts for well known psychophysical effects for static contexts and also for brightness induction in dynamic contexts defined by modulating the luminance of surrounding areas. This work suggests that intra-cortical interactions in V1 could, at least partially, explain brightness induction effects and reveals how a common general architecture may account for several different fundamental processes, such as visual saliency and brightness induction, which emerge early in the visual processing pathway.

Title Switching off brightness induction through induction-reversed images Type Abstract
Year 2012 Publication Perception Abbreviated Journal PER  
Volume 41 Issue Pages 208  
Keywords  
Abstract Brightness induction is the modulation of the perceived intensity of an
area by the luminance of surrounding areas. Although V1 is traditionally regarded as
an area mostly responsive to retinal information, neurophysiological evidence
suggests that it may explicitly represent brightness information. In this work, we
investigate possible neural mechanisms underlying brightness induction. To this end,
we consider the model by Z Li (1999 Computation and Neural Systems10187-212)
which is constrained by neurophysiological data and focuses on the part of V1
responsible for contextual influences. This model, which has proven to account for
phenomena such as contour detection and preattentive segmentation, shares with
brightness induction the relevant effect of contextual influences. Importantly, the
input to our network model derives from a complete multiscale and multiorientation
wavelet decomposition, which makes it possible to recover an image reflecting the
perceived luminance and successfully accounts for well known psychophysical
effects for both static and dynamic contexts. By further considering inverse problem
techniques we define induction-reversed images: given a target image, we build an
image whose perceived luminance matches the actual luminance of the original
stimulus, thus effectively canceling out brightness induction effects. We suggest that
induction-reversed images may help remove undesired perceptual effects and can
find potential applications in fields such as radiological image interpretation
