Abstract

An early stage in image understanding using colour involves recognizing the colour of target objects by looking at individual pixels. However, even when, to the human eye, the colours in the image are distinct, it is a challenge for machine vision to reliably recognize the whole object from colour alone, due to variations in lighting and other environmental issues. In this paper, we investigate the use of decision trees as a basis for recognizing colour. We also investigate the use of colour space transforms as a way of eliminating variations due to lighting.
