Committee-Based Colour Constancy

Abstract:

We show how to achieve better illumination estimates for color constancy by combining the results of several existing algorithms. We consider committee methods based on both linear and non-linear ways of combining the illumination estimates from the original set of color constancy algorithms. Committees of grayworld, white patch and neural net methods are tested. The committee results are always more accurate than the estimates of any of the other algorithms taken in isolation.
