Estimation of scene illuminant chromaticity by using single image

In this study, main goal is to estimate scene illuminant chromaticity values for each of the three color channels (red, green, blue). It is found that analysis of the pixel values, which are expressed by dichromatic reflection and inverse-intensity chromaticity space definitions, with appropriate statistical methods gives aproximate values for light source chromaticity within an acceptable error range. Single image of a scene is sufficient for calculations. We saw that chromaticity values of light sources with different colors can be approximately calculated.
