Remove reflection using wavelet transformation estimation

Abstract EN

Improving the performance of visual computing systems is achieved by removing unwanted reflections from a picture captured in front of a glass.

Reflection and transmission layers are superimposed in a linear form at the reflected photographs.

Decomposing an image into these layers is often a difficult task.

Plentiful classical separation methods are available in the literature which either works on a single image or requires multiple images.

The major step in reflection removal is the detection of reflection and background edges.

Separation of the background and reflection layers is depended on edge categorization results.

In this paper a wavelet transform is used as a prior estimation of background edges to separate reflection.

Experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposal in the speed and accuracy.
