Matching based Highlight Removal
Yiren Xu, Fujian Wang, Yuming Zhao · 2010
This paper presents a three-step framework to remove the highlight exists on objects in certain conditions. Unlike traditional HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology requires multiple registrated image sequence; our method needs only two arbitrary images. SURF (Speeded Up Robust Features) matching algorithm is first applied to find corresponding point pairs between images; homography is then found by perspective transformation theory; minimum gray selection is used at last to eliminated the highlight and fuse related regions. Experimental results are given to demonstrate the performance of our method.
