چکیده

The effect of reflection and transparency is superimposed in many real world scenes, which is caused by glass-like shiny and transparent materials. The presence of such incidental effect in a captured image has made it difficult to apply computer vision algorithms and has lead to erroneous results. Moreover, it disturbs the texture acquisition of the real-world scene. This paper presents an optimal method for the separation of reflection and transparency components. The method is based on the Epipolar Plane Image (EPI) analysis. The method is not like the ordinary edge-based EPI analysis, but instead it is an edge and color-based EPI analysis. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our method, we present the results of experiments using synthesized and real images which include indoor and outdoor scenes, from which we successfully extracted the reflection and transparency components from the input image sequences. . . .

3D Scanning Using Spatiotemporal Orientation

We present a new approach to volumetric scene reconstruction which can produce accurate models from turntable image sequences. Instead of an epipolar plane image (EPI) volume, we consider a function on the 4D spatiotemporal volume valued with the intensity back projection of the camera (time) to the particular voxel. Using an optical flow technique we compute the local orientation of this spati...

Diffuse-Specular Separation and Depth Recovery from Image Sequences

Specular reflections present difficulties for many areas of computer vision such as stereo and segmentation. To separate specular and diffuse reflection components, previous approaches generally require accurate segmentation, regionally uniform reflectance or structured lighting. To overcome these limiting assumptions, we propose a method based on color analysis and multibaseline stereo that si...

Reflection From Free Surface of a Rotating Generalized Thermo-Piezoelectric Solid Half Space

The analysis of rotational effect on the characteristics of plane waves propagating in a half space of generalized thermo-piezoelectric medium is presented in context of linear theory of thermo-piezoelectricity including Coriolis and centrifugal forces. The governing equations for a rotating generalized thermo-piezoelectric medium are formulated and solved for plane wave solutions to show the p...

An improvement in RTM method to image steep dip petroleum bearing structures and its superiority to other methods

In this paper, first the limitations of the ray-based method and the one-way wave-field extrapolation migration (WEM) in imaging steeply dipping structures are discussed by some examples. Then a new method of the reverse time migration (RTM), used in imaging such complex structures is presented. The proposed method uses a new wave-field extrapolator called the Leapfrog-Rapid Expansion Method (L...

Correspondences from Dense Sequences Allowing to Analyze Epipolar Plane Images

We present the method seeking correspondences in a dense rectified image sequence, considered as a set of Epipolar Plane Images (EPI). The main idea is to employ dense sequence to get more information which could guide the correspondence algorithm. A set of EPIs has properties that are favorable for evaluating the quality of correspondence pair (correspondence cost). Information contained in im...
