A technique for correcting the colours in an image sequence to improve their visual appearance when viewed together is presented. The technique constructs a mapping from the registered overlap regions of two adjacent images using least-squares regression to minimize the colour differences. Strategies for compensating for colours not present in the overlapping region and techniques for reducing noise and errors caused by values outside the colour gamuts are also described.
