Abstract
System and techniques for adaptive color transformation to aid computer vision are described herein. Colors from an image are mapped into a multi-dimensional space to create a distribution of colors in the image. A dimension of the multi-dimensional space can correspond to a color characteristic. An array of condensed representations of the distribution of colors can be generated. Each condensed representation of the array can be generated by rotating the distribution of colors by a respective color angle about an axis perpendicular to the multi-dimensional space. Algorithms can determine which condensed representation is of a highest quality within the array. Here the highest quality can be determined based on signal energy calculated for each condensed representation. The colors in the image can be transformed into a reduced image using the color angle corresponding to the selected condensed representation. The reduced image can be transmitted to receiver circuitry of an agricultural vehicle.
