Abstract

A method for processing image data may include: obtaining a first image and a second image that capture a same scene in different views, from a first camera and a second camera, respectively; spatially aligning the first image with the second image; obtaining a color transformation matrix that maps the first image to the second image based on color values of the first image and the second image; obtaining an estimated illuminant color from an output of a neural network by inputting the color transformation matrix to the neural network, wherein the neural network is trained based on a pair of reference images of a same reference scene with a color rendition chart that are captured by different cameras having different spectral sensitivities; and performing a white balance correction on the first image based on the estimated illuminant color to output a corrected first image.
