Abstract
In this paper we present a new method for the identification of specular reflectance in colour images. We have developed a bi-dimensional histogram which allows the exploitation of the relations between the signals of intensity and saturation of a colour image. Once the diagram has been constructed, it is possible to verify that the pixels of the specular reflectance are located in a well-defined region. The brightness is automatically identified by means of the extraction of pixels present in this region of the diagram, independently of their hue values. The effectiveness of the method in a variety of real chromatic images has been proven.
