The CVC colour group focuses its research in areas related to computational colour within computer vision. Our long term objective is to create computer algorithms that simulate human perception and categorisation of colour. To achieve this aim, we study colour as a visual cue in its context. Our main research lines are colour constancy, induction, saliency, texture,segmentation and naming.



Color Feature Detection for Object Recognition
Luminance edges are still the main source of information in the state-of-the-art methods for feature detection. We propose to exploit the statistical structure of luminance and color in natural images to extract the most discriminative features from the viewpoint of information theory for object recognition.

Color attention for object recognition
We propose a novel image representation where color attention is used to sample the shape description of the image.
