METHOD AND DEVICE FOR REMOVING AN OBJECT IN A VIDEO

摘要

A salient idea is to explicitly take into account lighting and reflection effects in video frames to better process them in the object removal process. A method for estimating shadows and specular effects in a video and for taking them into account in an object removal process is proposed. It comprises decomposing a plurality of video frames into intrinsic diffuse reflectance, diffuse shading, specular reflectance and specular lighting frames (S12, S14). The method further comprises reconstructing the hidden area (S16) and removing the cast shadows and specular reflections due to the removed object (S18).
