INTEL-TAU: A Color Constancy Dataset
share
In this paper, we describe a new large dataset for illumination estimation. This dataset, called INTEL-TAU, contains 7022 images in total, which makes it the largest available dataset for illumination estimation research. The variety of scenes captured using three different camera models, i.e., Canon 5DSR, Nikon D810, and Sony IMX135, makes the dataset appropriate for evaluating the camera and scene invariance of the different illumination estimation techniques. Privacy masking is done for sensitive information, e.g., faces. Thus, the dataset is coherent with the new GDPR regulations. Furthermore, the effect of color shading for mobile images can be evaluated with INTEL-TAU, as we provide both corrected and uncorrected versions of the raw data. We provide in this paper the evaluation of several color constancy approaches.
