Abstract:
The key to automatic white balancing of digital imagery is to estimate accurately the color of
the overall scene illumination. Many methods for estimating the illumination’s color have been
proposed [1-6]. Although not the most accurate, one of the simplest and quite widely used
methods is the gray world algorithm [6]. Borrowing on some of the strengths and simplicity of
the gray world algorithm, we introduce a modification of it that significantly improves on its
performance while adding little to its complexity.
