Rationale for the special session

Reflectance Analysis is a key process in computer vision systems and applications. It allows the robust segmentation of the images. It has been studied and applied in autononomous robotics, multimodal human computer interaction and remote sensing. There are some physical models of the interaction between light and the surfaces that have been used either for image rendering (visualization) or for image analysis. The most general is the BRDF model used in visualization programs. The Dichromatic Reflection Model has been proposed for the reflectance analysis of general images. This model is local and generalizations involving spatial information and non-linear effects will greatly increase its usefulness in real life applications. Knowledge Based Inteligent tools may provide this generalization. Other related paradigms that can benefit from the application of Intelligent Systems tools are Color Constancy and Retinex. The special session is intended to gather researchers applying Reflectance Analysis to real life problems and applications, or proposing innovative computational methods.
