Light Source Estimation for Realistic Shadow using Segmented HDR Images

چکیده
— To achieve seamless integration of the real scene with virtual objects, we need to obtain accurate illumination condition of the real scene. Using HDRI (High Dynamic Range Image) we can acquire and control real world illumination information. There are various intensity levels of light sources in a HDRI; some regions are very bright and others are not. Bright regions contain much more lighting information than the other regions. Thus in this paper we propose a light source estimation method by using the ratio of intensity of radiation from segmented HDR images which are divided by characteristics of histogram value. This paper describes three mains steps performed in the research. First, we segment an image efficiently; second, we analyze the distribution of intensity of radiation. Finally, we estimate light sources from segmented HDR images by using the ratio of intensity of radiation.

Shadow attenuation with high dynamic range images. Creating RGB images that allow feature classification in areas otherwise obscured by shadow or oversaturation.
Shadow often interferes with accurate image analysis. To mitigate shadow effects in near-earth imagery (2 m above ground level), we created high dynamic range (HDR) nadir images and used them to measure grassland ground cover. HDR composites were created by merging three differentially exposed images spanning a wide exposure range and resulted in lightened shadows. HDR images showed more detail...

When using a HDR remote afterloading brachytherapy unit, results of treatment can be greatly influenced by both source position and treatment time. The purpose of this study is to obtain information on the source of the HDR remote afterloading unit, such as its position and time structure, with the use of a simple system consisting of a plastic scintillator block and a charge-coupled device (CC...
متن کاملShadow Detection and Removal Based on YCbCr Color Space
Shadows in an image can reveal information about the object’s shape and orientation, and even about the light source. Thus shadow detection and removal is a very crucial and inevitable task of some computer vision algorithms for applications such as image segmentation and object detection and tracking. This paper proposes a simple framework using the luminance, chroma: blue, chroma: red (YCbCr)...
متن کاملSeparation and contrast enhancement of overlapping cast shadow components using polarization.
Shadow is an inseparable aspect of all natural scenes. When there are multiple light sources or multiple reflections several different shadows may overlap at the same location and create complicated patterns. Shadows are a potentially good source of information about a scene if the shadow regions can be properly identified and segmented. However, shadow region identification and segmentation is...

| In applications of augmented reality like virtual studio TV production, multi-site video conference applications using a virtual meeting room and synthetic/natural hybrid coding according to the new ISO/MPEG-4 standard, a synthetic scene is mixed into a natural scene to generate a synthetic/natural hybrid image sequence. For realism, the illumination in both scenes should be identical. In thi...
