Illuminant Estimation Using Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System

Computational color constancy (CCC) is a fundamental prerequisite for many computer vision tasks. The key of CCC is to estimate illuminant color so that the image of a scene under varying illumination can be normalized to an image under the canonical illumination. As a type of solution, combination...

Illuminant Estimation Using Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System
description Computational color constancy (CCC) is a fundamental prerequisite for many computer vision tasks. The key of CCC is to estimate illuminant color so that the image of a scene under varying illumination can be normalized to an image under the canonical illumination. As a type of solution, combination algorithms generally try to reach better illuminant estimation by weighting other unitary algorithms for a given image. However, due to the diversity of image features, applying the same weighting combination strategy to different images might result in unsound illuminant estimation. To address this problem, this study provides an effective option. A two-step strategy is first employed to cluster the training images, then for each cluster, ANFIS (adaptive neuro-network fuzzy inference system) models are effectively trained to map image features to illuminant color. While giving a test image, the fuzzy weights measuring what degrees the image belonging to each cluster are calculated, thus a reliable illuminant estimation will be obtained by weighting all ANFIS predictions. The proposed method allows illuminant estimation to be dynamic combinations of initial illumination estimates from some unitary algorithms, relying on the powerful learning and reasoning capabilities of ANFIS. Extensive experiments on typical benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. In addition, although there is an initial observation that some learning-based methods outperform even the most carefully designed and tested combinations of statistical and fuzzy inference systems, the proposed method is good practice for illuminant estimation considering fuzzy inference eases to implement in imaging signal processors with if-then rules and low computation efforts.
