Abstract
Disclosed in some examples, are methods, systems, and machine readable mediums that correct image color casts by utilizing a fully convolutional network (FCN), where the patches in an input image may differ in influence over the color constancy estimation. This influence is formulated as a confidence weight that reflects the value of a patch for inferring the illumination color. The confidence weights are integrated into a novel pooling layer where they are applied to local patch estimates in determining a global color constancy result.
