Abstract

Our aim is to detect photometric invariant regions in multispectral images robust against sensor noise. Therefore, different polar angle representations of a spectrum are examined for invariance using the dichromatic reflection model. These invariant representations take advantage of white balancing. Based on the camera sensitivity, a theoretical expression is obtained of the certainty associated with the polar angular representations under the influence of noise. The expression is employed by the segmentation technique to ensure robustness against sensor noise.
