Image recoloring using specular decomposition and in-painting
Mehwish Iqbal, Muhammad Mohsin Riaz, Abdul Ghafoor, Attiq Ahmad · The Imaging Science Journal · 2020
Image recoloring using wavelet transform, in-painting and dichromatic reflection model is proposed. Detailed wavelet bands are passed through a sharpening filter whereas the approximation band is passed through dichromatic reflection model to extract body and specular coefficients. In-painting and white illumination minimization using erosion and Gaussian blur further enhance the image quality. The proposed technique produces better results, both qualitatively and quantitatively, in terms of edge preservation and minimization of noise, artefacts in contrast to state-of-art existing techniques.
