The color of an object depends on • color of the illuminating light • illumination intensity • sensor sensitivity • direction of surface normal • surface reflectance properties • Assumptions: • Scene is uniformly illuminated • light source is colored • surface has Lambertian reflectance

Reflectance of light What are invariant properties? object color spectral color Lamp
The reflected spectrum is: v = viewing direction n = surface patch normal s = direction of illumination f = Fresnel front surface reflectance coefficient in v R = body reflectance
Because of projection of the energy distribution on the image plane the vectors n, s and v will depend on the position at the imaging plane. So the energy at a point x is then related to: We assume an illumination with a locally constant color:
Aim: describe material changes independent of the illumination. Bothequationshavemanycommonterms
The normalized differential determines material changes independent of the viewpoint, surface orientation, illumination direction, illumination intensity and illumination color!
The derivative jet to x and forms a complete family of geometric invariants: These are observed properties, so we convolve with Gaussian derivatives
Color invariants Color edges can be defined as the thresholding of the spatial gradient (color-invariant equivalent of Lw):

Conclusions • Color ‘scale-space’ compatible with classical luminance scale-space • The model enables the design of practical image analysis ‘color reasoning’ solutions, e.g. invariance for illumination • The color-scale invariant differential operators are building blocks for a differential geometry on color images
