This article delves into how linear models help in understanding color perception contexts and the significance of compact data representation in human vision systems. It explores the impact of illumination on color appearance and the role of surface reflectance functions. Examples like Daylights and Macbeth Chart Basis Functions are used to illustrate these concepts.

Human Perception 9: Color
Why are Linear Models Useful? • Compact representation of the data • Work smoothly with conventional linear matrix computations • Help understand practical matters like the number of sensors needed to measure a set of signals
Illumination(3) and Reflectance(3) Yellow illuminant Blue illuminant Black surface White surface
Surface & Illuminant Estimation • Gray world assumption Average of all the surfaces in the image is gray • Uniform perfect reflector The brightest surface in the image • Specularities Glossy surface reflects the illumination directly
The Photoreceptor Types • Cone wavelength absorptions
