The Attentive Illumination Decomposition (AID) model offers a deep learning framework that explicitly decomposes complex multi-illuminant scenes into individual light source chromaticities and their spatial influence maps. This approach yields state-of-the-art white balancing performance and enables controllable color adjustments by adhering to a physically grounded light mixing model.

Key insights

  • Decomposing illumination into individual sources and their spatial influence, rather than direct mixed illumination prediction, provides a more physically grounded and interpretable approach to multi-illuminant white balancing.
  • Slot attention, previously successful in object-centric learning, can be effectively adapted to disentangle fundamental image properties like illumination, leading to structured and interpretable representations.
  • The proposed centroid-matching loss is crucial for guiding slots to specialize in specific color ranges, enabling accurate decomposition and significantly improving the model's ability to identify distinct illuminants.
