Abstract
Geologists consider it crucial to work on faithful images of Mars. However, no color correction is yet done systematically on those images, especially due to the poor knowledge of the local martian weather. The weather is highly fluctuating and with the low gravity of the planet, it tends to set the conditions for varying amounts of dust in the atmosphere and ground illumination variations as well. Low discrimination of light variations by the Human Visual System is explained by Chromatic Adaptation (CA). Color images processing therefore often accounts for a step related to CA. This study investigates whether this step has to be applied to Mars images as well and is done through an illumination discrimination task performed on 15 observers for stimuli along daylight locus and solight locus (lights of Mars planet) generated through a 7-LEDs lighting system. This study gives outputs in agreement with other on daylight locus while showing low differences between results under daylight and solight.
期刊介绍:
Typical issues include research papers and/or comprehensive reviews from a variety of topical areas. In the spirit of fostering constructive scientific dialog, the Journal accepts Letters to the Editor commenting on previously published articles. Periodically the Journal features a Special Section containing a group of related— usually invited—papers introduced by a Guest Editor. Imaging research topics that have coverage in JIST include:
Digital fabrication and biofabrication;
Digital printing technologies;
3D imaging: capture, display, and print;
Augmented and virtual reality systems;
Mobile imaging;
Computational and digital photography;
Machine vision and learning;
Data visualization and analysis;
Image and video quality evaluation;
Color image science;
Image archiving, permanence, and security;
Imaging applications including astronomy, medicine, sports, and autonomous vehicles.
