- Abstract
A novel methodology is proposed to identify the distribution of the intensity of the illuminant across a real‐world image; with this information, the image can be classified as a homogeneous or nonhomogeneous lighting source. A criterion is proposed for deciding whether the illumination in the tested image is homogeneous or nonhomogeneous. This criterion is based on well‐established methods that are dedicated to improving color characteristics and are commonly used to determine the color of the lighting source during a captured scene. The classification of homogeneous or nonhomogeneous illumination in real‐world images is implemented in the BSD500 database, and the results are compared with a manual classification of images—proposed under subjective criteria—by the authors; in this way, one can analyze how the lighting source affects the image. This procedure provides a classification methodology for real‐world image databases found in the scientific literature.
