The presence of specular reflections in images can lead many traditional computer vision algorithms to produce erroneous results. To address this problem, we propose a method based on the neutral interface reflection model for separating the diffuse and specular reflection components in color images. From two photometric images without calibrated lighting, the illuminant chromaticity is estimated, and the RGB intensities of the two reflection components are computed for each pixel using a linear model of surface reflectance. Unlike most previous methods, the presented technique does not assume any dependencies among pixels, such as regionally uniform surface reflectance.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
