Patent Images

1. A device for processing an image, comprising:

  • processing circuitry configured to receive data of a pixellated current image, and to determine from that image data at least one parameter indicative of the characteristics of the illuminant;

    the processing circuitry further configured to process the illuminant data to provide data indicative of at least one parameter indicative of the spectral characteristics of the illumination of the scene shown in the current image, and to process the image data thereby to determine the reflectivity of at least one surface of at least one object shown in the current image;

    modelling circuitry configured to derive a background model from information of at least one previous image of the scene; and

    decision circuitry configured to compare said reflectivity with a reflectivity of a part of the background model.
