White Balance
The color of the light reflected from an object varies
with the color of the light source.
The human brain
is able to adapt to such changes in color, with the re-
sult that we see white objects as white, regardless of
whether they are in the shade, direct sunlight, or under
incandescent lighting.
Digital cameras can mimic this
adjustment by processing information from the camera’s image sensor (CCD)
according to the color of the light source.
This process is known as a “white
balance adjustment.”
