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.

High Dynamic Range We try to perform a High Dynamic Range compression of color images using perceptual criterias.

Psychophysical Error Measure for Colour Constancy In this paper we propose a new evaluation in order to compare solutions of different colour constancy algorithms. this new approach is based on a psychophysical experiment to relate this new evaluation with human perception instead of physical properties.

Image Compression The aim of this work is to apply perceptual concepts to defina a perceptual pre-quantizer in order to improve image compression algorithms.

Chromatic Induction We propose a computational model that reprodce chromatic induction processes unifying chromatic assimilation and chromatic contrast into a single perceptual process.

Physics-based color image segmentation Based on an analysis of the bi-directional reflection model we propose a method which is particularly suited for segmentation in the presence of shadow and highlight edges.
