Shadow detection and removal from color images is invariably significant for image processing.Existing methods use illuminant invariant methods to detect and minimize shadow which is computationally expensive.RGB color space based shadow removal method is existing one which blurs shadow edges.The performance of this existing method mainly depends on structuring element.To overcome all disadvantages, this paper is aimed to utilize RGB color space with modified structuring element.The effect of shadow is decreased on pixel while increasing values of 3 color channels of pixel using modified approach.Experiment results show that proposed system is computationally inexpensive and can robustly remove shadow from complex images.
