Disentangling simultaneous changes of surface and illumination

Our faculty member Ass.Prof. Katja Doerschner has published a paper with Robert Ennis from Justus-Liebig-Universitaet Giessen. Abstract: Retinally incident light is an ambiguous product of spectral distributions of light in the environment and their interactions with reflecting, absorbing, and transmitting materials. An ideal color constant observer would unravel these confounded sources of information and account […]
