Abstract

Specularities, shadows, and occlusions are phenomena that commonly occur in images and cause a loss of information. This project addresses the task to detect and remove all these phenomena simultaneously in order to obtain a corrected image with all information visible and recognizable. The provided (semi-)automatic algorithm utilizes two input images that depict a planar object. The images can be acquired without special equipment (such as flash systems) or restrictions on the spatial camera layout.

Code

SpeculaR
===
SpeculaR implements an approach to detect and remove specular, shadow, or occluded regions in images of planar objects by replacing them with meaningful information from additional views.

===
The program was tested on Windows systems only, but no Windows-specific libraries were included. Additional requirements:
- OpenCV 3.x.
