Photometric invariance is a desired property for color image descriptors. It ensures that the description has a certain robustness with respect to scene incidental variations such...
Photometric invariance is used in many computer vision applications. The advantage of photometric invariance is the robustness against shadows, shading, and illumination condition...

Color is a powerful visual cue for many computer vision
applications such as image segmentation and object recognition.
However, most of the existing color models depend on the i...
SIFT has been proven to be the most robust local invariant feature descriptor. SIFT is designed mainly for gray images. However, color provides valuable information in object desc...
