Abstract

The changes of the ambient illumination can significantly disturb the color measurement in the image. Abdellatif1,2) introduced a new approach for color constancy by measuring the illumination from the reflection of a camera-attached surface "nose". We developed a real time color constancy system based on his theory and used it to navigate an experimental mobile robot in following a colored target. Experiments show that the perceived color of a target is relatively constant, which enabled the mobile robot to track and follow the target.
