Interactive Shadow Editing from Single Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a system for interactive shadow editing from single images which includes the manipulations of shape, distribution, sharpness and darkness of shadows according to the features of existing shadows. We first obtain a shadow-free image, shadow boundary and its registered sparse shadow scales using an existing shadow removal method. The modifiable features of the shadow are synthesised from the sparse shadow scales. According to the user-specified shadow-shape and its attributes, our system generates a new shadow matte and composites it into the original image, while also allowing editing of existing shadows. We share our executable for open comparison in community.

A multi-scale convolutional neural network for automatic cloud and cloud shadow detection from Gaofen-1 images
The reconstruction of the information contaminated by cloud and cloud shadow is an important step in pre-processing of high-resolution satellite images. The cloud and cloud shadow automatic segmentation could be the first step in the process of reconstructing the information contaminated by cloud and cloud shadow. This stage is a remarkable challenge due to the relatively inefficient performanc...

This material consists of 3 parts: 1) Comparison of shadow detection on a challenging case; 2) Applications of our work; 3) Extended visual comparisons of our shadow removal results. We plan to officially release our data set in 2014. To allow for repeatable evaluation for future comparison, our P-code, the user input data, output data and the scripts for ground truth evaluation and quantitativ...
متن کاملA System for Building Detection from Aerial Images
We describe a method for detecting rectilinear buildings and constructing their 3-D shape descriptions from a single aerial image of a general viewpoint. 2-D roof hypotheses are generated from linear features by perceptual grouping. Good hypotheses are selected and then verified by computing wall and shadow evidence for them, which also provide the height information for the buildings. A 3-D re...
متن کاملInteractive Shadow Removal from a Single Image Using Hierarchical Graph Cut
We propose a method for extracting a shadow matte from a single image. The removal of shadows from a single image is a difficult problem to solve unless additional information is available. We use user-supplied hints to solve the problem. The proposed method estimates a fractional shadow matte using a graph cut energy minimization approach. We present a new hierarchical graph cut algorithm that...
متن کاملFreeform Shadow Boundary Editing
We present an algorithm for artistically modifying physically based shadows. With our tool, an artist can directly edit the shadow boundaries in the scene in an intuitive fashion similar to freeform curve editing. Our algorithm then makes these shadow edits consistent with respect to varying light directions and scene configurations, by creating a shadow mesh from the new silhouettes. The shado...
