Colourlab Image Database: Multi-Illuminant scene (CID:MI)

Design and Creation of a Multi-Illuminant Scene Image Dataset: We created a novel dataset with images taken on scenes under non uniform illumination having multiple light sources (e.g. two or three) including outdoor light mixed with indoor light sources, creating complex scene with cluttered objects, overlapped shadow regions and with combination of specular, diffuse and differently colored object materials. We provide reliable ground truth images to have better evaluation of multi-illuminant estimation methods in computational color constancy. The provided precise ground truth images can be used efficiently to compare the color constancy algorithms and can also be utilized to have corrected white balanced images of the dataset from corresponding ground truth images.
