Some natural scenes show a reduced set of colors. These scenes are often encountered in space imaging, for instance for ocean observation which deals with hues of blue and for Mars exploration which deals with hues of “yellowish-brown”. In this context the interest of performing hue-specific (or scene-specific) color corrections for the reconstruction of these images is tested. The study is performed on the Next Generation Target (Avian Rochester, LLC - 130 color patches) for both the color correction matrix computation and efficiency testing. The results show that such hue-specific corrections are efficient on the hues of interest, and evaluate the impact on subsidiary hues.
