ABSTRACT
Specular highlight removal is a challenging task. We present a novel data-driven approach for automatic specular highlight removal from a single image. To this end, we build a new dataset of real-world images for specular highlight removal with corresponding ground-truth diffuse images. Based on the dataset, we also present a specular highlight removal network by introducing the detection of specular reflections information as guidance. The experimental evaluations indicate that the proposed approach outperforms recent state-of-the-art methods.

Single Image Specular Highlight Removal on Natural Scenes
Pattern Recognition and Computer VisionAbstractPrevious methods of highlight removal in image processing have exclusively addressed images taken in specific illumination environments. However, most of these methods have limitations in natural scenes and thus, introduce artifacts to nature ...
Image-based rendering of diffuse, specular and glossy surfaces from a single image
SIGGRAPH '01: Proceedings of the 28th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniquesIn this paper, we present a new method to recover an approximation of the bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) of the surfaces present in a real scene. This is done from a single photograph and a 3D geometric model of the scene. The ...
Specular Highlight Removal for Image-Based Dietary Assessment
ICMEW '12: Proceedings of the 2012 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo WorkshopsTraditional dietary assessment methods, consisting of written and orally reported methods, are not widely acceptable or feasible for everyday monitoring. The development of built-in cameras for mobile devices provides a new way of collecting dietary ...
