Putting It All Together
From Visual Stimuli to Color Names, and Back
In this chapter I will put all the pieces together, and discuss the
complete behaviors that can be modeled using the work described so far.
Here we will refer back to the original goals of the research set forth in
Section 
, viz. to enable an autonomous robotic agent to name
colors of objects in its field of view, and to point out examples of
objects with specified colors in its environment, both in close agreement
with human performance on the same tasks.
As I have explained before, I will not be concerned with issues of color
constancy, assuming constant and homogeneous flat-spectrum lighting, nor
with issues related to color in context, i.e. the influence context may
have on color perception. However, in Chapter , where
I present an application based on the model, the constancy issue will be
dealt with to some extent.
