Abstract
The highlight removal method from the single image without knowing the illuminant has been presented. The presented method is based on the Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Histogram equalization and Second order polynomial transformation. The proposed method does not need color segmentation and normalization of image by illuminant. The method has been tested on different types of images, images with or without texture and images taken in different unknown light environment. The result shows the feasibility of the method. Implementation of the method is straight forward and computationally fast.
