Researchers Revisit Statistical Color Matching for Robust Medical Image Classification
A new arXiv paper proposes statistical color matching as a simple, low-risk technique for keeping medical image classifiers accurate when deployment conditions diverge from training, such as hardware differences, color variation, and changing patient demographics. The authors argue that common fixes like color jittering do not provide enough diversity, and reposition this overlooked method as a more sustainable path to domain generalization.
