Color correction pipeline of raw images using a Macbeth colorchecker.

This Matlab pipeline uses a Macbeth colorchecker to correct the colors of an image.

In order to do that, it uses
DC_RAW or RAWTHERAPEE to read a raw file
ccFind to identify a Macbeth colorchecker target in the image.
White balance is performed in window mode in dcRaw.

Image is then color corrected using different techniques:
1) polyfit - weighted polyfit
2) spline based fitting (based on SLMtools)
3) SHAFT, that is a trial and error approach freely inspired by Adobe Camera Raw script
USAGE Launch noFrillsDevelopment.m to process a file or a folder containing raw images with detectable colorchecker

Aknowledgments:
ccFind
ccFind is a customized version of the code from the paper: Garcia Capel, Luis E. & Hardeberg, Jon Y.. Automatic Color Reference Target Detection. The 22nd Color and Imaging Conference (CIC), IS&T, Pages 119-124, Boston, MA, USA, Nov, 2014.
