To automatically eliminate the influence of external illumination on the acquired image, restore the true color information of the object, and provide true and stable color features for computer vision tasks, our work is based on the convolutional neural network (CNN) VGG19 for feature extraction of image information. Moreover, it proposes a model based on atom search optimization improved by chaotic-logistic maps to optimize the regularization random vector functional link (RRVFL). The optimized RRVFL replaces CNN’s regression layer to estimate the image illumination and then restore the image. First, we used chaotic-logistic maps to optimize the initial value of search agent of the atom search optimization (CASO) algorithm and then used the search agent segment mapping method proposed in our study to simultaneously optimize the number of nodes in hidden layer, regularization factors, input weight, and the bias of RRVFL hidden layer. This avoids the problem of serious fluctuation of prediction results and low accuracy caused by the randomness of the RRVFL parameters. After the predicted illumination information was obtained with the optimized RRVFL, the image was restored using the diagonal transformation method. Comparative experiments showed that the average angular errors of the illumination estimation of the V19-CASO-RRVFL algorithm proposed in our study were 1.73, 0.30, 0.3406, and 0.0976 lower than those of the gray-edge-2, GE-CASO-RRVFL, DS-Net, and color constancy on deep residual learning algorithms, respectively.
Changes in illumination will result in serious color difference evaluation errors during the dyeing process. A Bagging-based ensemble extreme learning machine (ELM) mechanism hybridized with particle swarm optimization (PSO), namely Bagging–PSO–ELM, is proposed to develop an accurate illumination correction model for dyed fabrics. The model adopts PSO algorithm to optimize the input weights and hidden biases for the ELM neural network called PSO–ELM, which enhances the performance of ELM. Meanwhile, to further increase the prediction accuracy, a Bagging ensemble scheme is used to construct an independent PSO–ELM learning machine by taking bootstrap replicates of the training set. Then, the obtained multiple different PSO–ELM learners are aggregated to establish the prediction model. The proposed prediction model is evaluated with real dyed fabric images and discussed in comparison with several related methods. Experimental results show that the ensemble color constancy method is able to generate a more robust illuminant estimation model with better generalization performance.
