Abstract

This paper contributes in colour classification under dynamically changing illumination, extending further the capabilities of our previous works on Fuzzy Colour Contrast Fusion (FCCF), FCCF-Heuristic Assisted Genetic Algorithm (HAGA) for automatic colour classifier calibration and Variable Colour Depth (VCD). All the aforementioned algorithms were proven to accurately in real-time with a pie-slice technique. However, the pie-slice classifier is the accuracy-limiting factor in these systems. Although it is possible to address this problem by using a more complex shape for specifying the colour decision region, this would only increase the chances of overfitting. We propose a hybrid colour classification system that automatically searches for the best colour space for classifying any target colour. Moreover, this paper also investigates the general selection of training sets to get a better understanding of the generalisation capability of FCCF-HAGA. The experiments used a professional Munsell ColorChecker Chart with extreme illumination conditions where the colour channels start hitting their dynamic range limits.
