• Abstract summary: We argue that any model that can reproduce our sensation on color illusions should also be able to provide pixel-wise estimates of the light source. In this study, we take several color constancy methods and modify them to reproduce the behavior of the human visual system on color illusions.

• Abstract: Color constancy and color illusion perception are two phenomena occurring in the human visual system, which can help us reveal unknown mechanisms of human perception. For decades computer vision scientists have developed numerous color constancy methods, which estimate the reflectance of the surface by discounting the illuminant. However, color illusions have not been analyzed in detail in the field of computational color constancy, which we find surprising since the relationship they share is significant and may let us design more robust systems. We argue that any model that can reproduce our sensation on color illusions should also be able to provide pixel-wise estimates of the light source. In other words, we suggest that the analysis of color illusions helps us to improve the performance of the existing global color constancy methods, and enable them to provide pixel-wise estimates for scenes illuminated by multiple light sources. In this study, we share the outcomes of our investigation in which we take several color constancy methods and modify them to reproduce the behavior of the human visual system on color illusions. Also, we show that parameters purely extracted from illusions are able to improve the performance of color constancy methods. A noteworthy outcome is that our strategy based on the investigation of color illusions outperforms the state-of-the-art methods that are specifically designed to transform global color constancy algorithms into multi-illuminant algorithms.

Our findings suggest that object recognition tasks such as classification and localization are susceptible to color vision bias.

  We propose a novel colour quantisation transformer, CQFormer, that quantises colour space while maintaining machine recognition on the quantised images. We observe the consistent evolution pattern between our artificial colour system and basic colour terms across human languages. Our colour quantisation method also offers an efficient quantisation method that effectively compresses the image storage.

  A fundamental problem in computer vision is that of inferring the intrinsic, 3D structure of the world from flat, 2D images. We find that certain explanations are more likely than others: surfaces tend to be smooth, paint tends to be uniform, and illumination tends to be natural. Our technique can be viewed as a superset of several classic computer vision problems.
