Highlight Removal by Illumination-Constrained Inpainting

چکیده
We present a single-image highlight removal method that incorporates illumination-based constraints into image inpainting. Unlike occluded image regions filled by traditional inpainting, highlight pixels contain some useful information for guiding the inpainting process. Constraints provided by observed pixel colors, highlight color analysis and illumination color uniformity are employed in our method to improve estimation of the underlying diffuse color. The inclusion of these illumination constraints allows for better recovery of shading and textures by inpainting. Experimental results are given to demonstrate the performance of our

A Specular Highlight Removal Method with Shape Constrained Inpainting
The existence of specular highlight is a great obstacle of shape recovery. For a single gray-scale image with only intensity information, the existed highlight detection methods based on chroma or polarization analysis cannot directly be applied on it. So, a method using surface shape is provided, it makes full use of the imaging process. Through the surface normal estimation, compute the maxim...
متن کاملUniform and Robust Modelling of Edge Based Text Region Detection with Image and Video Inpainting using Morphological Operation
The proposed system introduces a novel technique of text detection and removal from the input image as well as video called image inpainting using a cost effective computational technique. The paper discusses about inpainting problem empirically and proposes a new inpainting mechanism where the same algorithm can perform text removal from both image and video. Use of an effective morphological ...
متن کاملThe Shadow Meets the Mask: Pyramid-Based Shadow Removal
In this paper we propose a novel method for detecting and removing shadows from a single image thereby obtaining a high-quality shadow-free image. With minimal user assistance, we first identify shadowed and lit areas on the same surface in the scene using an illumination-invariant distance measure. These areas are used to estimate the parameters of an affine shadow formation model. A novel pyr...
متن کاملA Joint-Diffused Inpainting Model for Underexposure Image Preserving the Linear Geometric Structure
To restore the underexposure image, an illumination compensation inpainting model which employs the joint-diffused partial differential equations (PDEs) is proposed. Firstly, the novel model compensates the illumination effect in multi-scaled underexposure images respectively. Secondly, the information in the fused compensated image is restored by PDEs which diffuse the geometric property and g...
متن کاملMobile Scanner: Document Segmentation and Object Removal by Exemplar-based Image Inpainting and Spectral Regularization
This report proposed a pipeline for a advanced mobile scanner, which is an application of object segmentation and object removal techniques. We introduced various techniques in the fields of object removal including exemplar-based inpainting as well as spectral regularization, followed by the document segmentation, which is composed of edge detection, contour search, and perspective transform.
