During an endoscopic examination pictures from the inside of the human body are displayed on a computer monitor. Often, there are disturbing light reflections visible in these images. In this paper, we present an approach to remove these reflections and replace them by an estimate obtained from a spectral deconvolution algorithm.

New Corneal Reflection Removal Method Used In Iris Recognition System
Images of human iris contain specular highlights due to the reflective properties of the cornea. This corneal reflection causes many errors not only in iris and pupil center estimation but also to locate iris and pupil boundaries especially for methods that use active contour. Each iris recognition system has four steps: Segmentation, Normalization, Encoding and Matching. In order to address th...
متن کاملClosed Contour Specular Reflection Segmentation in Laparoscopic Images
Segmentation of specular reflections is an essential step in endoscopic image analysis; it affects all further processing steps including segmentation, classification, and registration tasks. The dichromatic reflectance model, which is often used for specular reflection modeling, is made for dielectric materials and not for human tissue. Hence, most recent segmentation approaches rely on thresh...
متن کاملAdaptive specular reflection detection and inpainting in colonoscopy video frames
Colonoscopy video frames might be contaminated by bright spots with unsaturated values known as specular reflection. Detection and removal of such reflections could enhance the quality of colonoscopy images and facilitate diagnosis procedure. In this paper we propose a novel two-phase method for this purpose, consisting of detection and removal phases. In the detection phase, we employ both HSV...
متن کاملAnalytical Survey of Highlight Detection in Color and Spectral Images
Detection of highlights is a prominent issue in computer vision, graphics and image processing. Applications which require object properties measurement or rendering are affected by specular reflection since the models assume matte diffusing surfaces most of the time. Hence, detection, and sometimes removal, of specular reflection (highlights) in an image may be critical. Several methods are pr...
متن کاملSpecularity Removal using Dark Channel Prior
The reflectance of inhomogeneous objects can be described as a linear combination of diffuse and specular reflection components. Most computer vision algorithms assume that visually observable surfaces consist only of diffuse reflection. The existence of specular reflection can be misleading to these computer vision algorithms. A new algorithm dark channel prior based specularity removal is pro...
