The log-chromaticity space (LCS) is a color space with excellent illumination-invariant properties. When converting RGB colors to LCS, there exist four different options for choosing the normalizing channel. For classification applications, we analyze the impact of the normalizer on the distribution of colors in LCS. Based on synthetic and real image data we show that the geometric mean does not introduce a bias to the color clusters and always results in an intermediate clustering performance. However, data-specific selection of the normalizing channel can further improve the results. For instance, for skin classification we show that using the blue channel as denominator results in a recognition improvement of about 25.9% compared to the red channel (worst result).In comparison to the geometric mean and the green channel, the two most popular denominators, the performance increase is 12.9% and 2.9%.
