• Abstract: When we place a colored filter in front of a camera the effective camera response functions are equal to the given camera spectral sensitivities multiplied by the filter spectral transmittance. In this paper, we solve for the filter which returns the modified sensitivities as close to being a linear transformation from the color matching functions of human visual system as possible. When this linearity condition - sometimes called the Luther condition - is approximately met, the `camera+filter' system can be used for accurate color measurement. Then, we reformulate our filter design optimisation for making the sensor responses as close to the CIEXYZ tristimulus values as possible given the knowledge of real measured surfaces and illuminants spectra data. This data-driven method in turn is extended to incorporate constraints on the filter (smoothness and bounded transmission). Also, because how the optimisation is initialised is shown to impact on the performance of the solved-for filters, a multi-initialisation optimisation is developed. Experiments demonstrate that, by taking pictures through our optimised color filters we can make cameras significantly more colorimetric.

  interpretable image enhancement is a technique that enhances image quality by adjusting filter parameters with easily understandable names such as "Exposure" and "Contrast" We introduce an image-adaptive neural implicit lookup table, which uses a multilayer perceptron to implicitly define the transformation from input feature space to output color space. We evaluate visual impressions of enhancement results, such as exposure and contrast, using a vision and language model along with guiding prompts.

We apply this system to the task of incoherent opto-electronic filtering, where digital spatial-filtering operations are replaced by simpler, per-pixel sums.

  We address a new problem of reversing the effect of an image filter, which can be linear or nonlinear. The assumption is that the algorithm of the filter is unknown and the filter is available as a black box. We formulate this inverse problem as minimizing a local patch-based cost function and use total derivative to approximate the gradient which is used in gradient descent to solve the problem.

• Unifying Optimization Methods for Color Filter Design [3.8073142980733]
  Through optimization we can solve for a filter that when the camera views the world through this filter, it is more colorimetric. Previous work solved for the filter that best satisfied the Luther condition: the camera spectral sensitivities after filtering were approximately a linear transform from the CIE XYZ color matching functions. A more recent method optimized for the filter that maximized the Vora-Value (a measure which relates to the closeness of the vector spaces spanned by the camera sensors and human vision sensors).

• Designing a Color Filter via Optimization of Vora-Value for Making a Camera more Colorimetric [14.097215740999408]
  The Luther condition states that if the spectral sensitivity responses of a camera are a linear transform from the color matching functions of the human visual system, the camera is colorimetric. Previous work proposed to solve for a filter which, when placed in front of a camera, results in sensitivities that best satisfy the Luther condition. This paper begins with the observation that the cone fundamentals, XYZ color matching functions or any linear combination thereof span the same 3-dimensional subspace.

• Designing a physically-feasible colour filter to make a camera more colorimetric [3.8073142980733]
  We extend the Luther-condition filter optimisation method to allow us to incorporate the smoothness and transmittance bounds of the recovered filter. Experiments demonstrate that we can find physically realisable filters which are smooth and reasonably transmissive with which the effective "camera+filter" becomes significantly more colorimetric.
