چکیده

In real world, a scene is composed by many characteristics. Intrinsic images represent these characteristics by two components, reflectance (the albedo of each point) and shading (the illumination of each point). Because reflectance images are invariant under different illumination conditions, they are more appropriate for some vision applications, such as recognition, detection. We develop the system to separate them from a single image. Firstly, a presented method, called Weighted-Map Method, is used to separate reflectance and shading. A weighted map is created by first transforming original color domain into new color domain and then extracting some useful property. Secondly, we build Markov Random Fields and use Belief Propagation to propagate local information in order to help us correct misclassifications from neighbors. According to our experimental results, our system can apply to not only real images but also synthesized images.

Single image facial view synthesis using SFS

We present a facial view synthesis technique based on explicit shape and reflectance information extracted from a single image. The technique combines an image based reflectance estimation process with a novel method of interpolating between needle-maps recovered using shape from shading. This allows images of a face to be synthesised under novel lighting, pose and skin reflectance given only o...

A biologically inspired algorithm for the recovery of shading and reflectance images.

We present an algorithm for separating the shading and reflectance images of photographed natural scenes. The algorithm exploits the constraint that in natural scenes chromatic and luminance variations that are co-aligned mainly arise from changes in surface reflectance, whereas near-pure luminance variations mainly arise from shading and shadows. The novel aspect of the algorithm is the initia...

Intrinsic Properties of an Image with Highlights

Shading and reflectance images, which are commonly called intrinsic images, are useful in many computer vision applications. A number of methods have been proposed to extract those images. Unfortunately, all of these methods assume diffuse only reflections and deem highlights to be outliers. To overcome the presence of highlights, usually reflection components separation is applied before attem...

Analysis and synthesis of multicolored objects in a single image.

We present a method with which to recover the intrinsic shading and reflectance characteristics of multicolored three-dimensional objects in a single image, with which realistic new scenes can be synthesized. A color watershed algorithm, which is based on a regularized dichromatic fitting error, is proposed for robust image segmentation. For shading recovery in small regions, a weighted interpo...
