Color image processing from the physical, psychological, and biological viewpoints

Color image processing is necessary in various academic fields, but each field approaches it differently, and often incorrectly. It should really be done in a way that is meaningful from the physical, psychological, or biological point of view. In this paper, I introduce the database SOCS, which is a tool to combine the physical and psychological viewpoints, and two recent researches, one on the illumination estimation relating to the physical viewpoint, and the other on the genetic polymorphism relating to the biological viewpoint.
