Lightness and Retinex Theory

TL;DR: The mathematics of a lightness scheme that generates lightness numbers, the biologic correlate of reflectance, independent of the flux from objects is described.

An alternative technique for the computation of the designator in the retinex theory of color vision.

TL;DR: The present paper describes a relatively simple alternative technique for the computation of the designator in retinex theory and reports the general operational effectiveness of the new technique, including the competence, not possessed by earlier algorithms, for generating Mach bands.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent advances in retinex theory and some implications for cortical computations: color vision and the natural image

TL;DR: A series of experiments demonstrated that in images neither the wavelength of the stimulus nor the energy at each wavelength determines the color, and this departure from what the authors expect on the basis of colorimetry is complete.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent Advances in Retinex Theory

TL;DR: It is shown that the paradox of colour constancy does not really exist because it is not true that the colour of a point on an object is determined by the composition of the light coming from the object.
