Abstract
Color constancy is one of the important research areas with a wide range of ap-
plications in the fields of color image processing and computer vision. One such
application is video tracking. Color is used as one of the salient features and its
robustness to illumination variation is essential to the adaptability of video tracking
algorithms. Color constancy can be applied to discount the influence of changing
illuminations. In this paper, we present a review of established color constancy
approaches. We also investigate whether these approaches in their present form of
implementation can be applied to the video tracking problem. The approaches are
