Title:

    Perceptual-Based CNN Model for Watercolor Mixing Prediction

Presenter(s)/Author(s):



Abstract:


    In the poster, we propose a model to predict the mixture of watercolor pigments using convolutional neural networks (CNN). With a watercolor dataset, we train our model to minimize the loss function of sRGB differences. In metric of color difference ELab , our model achieves 88.7 % of data that ELab on the test set, which means the difference can not easily be detected by human eye. In addition, an interesting phenomenon is found; Even if the reflectance curve of the predicted color is not as smooth as the ground truth curve, the RGB color is still close to the ground truth.
