    Abstract

    Colour object recognition is heavily influenced by the variation in the scene illumination conditions. This paper proposes a set of illumination-invariant descriptors of image content. The descriptors are based on a moment-based approach to histogram comparison and, in the case of an object imaged under two different lighting conditions, permit a straightforward recovery of the illumination change involved. The efficacy of the descriptors is compared experimentally with a variety of existing techniques, using an established methodology and an existing purpose-built dataset. The evidence suggests that the new descriptors outperform existing techniques in the area of colour object recognition.
