Intrinsic Image Decomposition

21 papers with code • 0 benchmarks • 6 datasets

Intrinsic Image Decomposition is the process of separating an image into its formation components such as reflectance (albedo) and shading (illumination). Reflectance is the color of the object, invariant to camera viewpoint and illumination conditions, whereas shading, dependent on camera viewpoint and object geometry, consists of different illumination effects, such as shadows, shading and inter-reflections. Using intrinsic images, instead of the original images, can be beneficial for many computer vision algorithms. For instance, for shape-from-shading algorithms, the shading images contain important visual cues to recover geometry, while for segmentation and detection algorithms, reflectance images can be beneficial as they are independent of confounding illumination effects. Furthermore, intrinsic images are used in a wide range of computational photography applications, such as material recoloring, relighting, retexturing and stylization.
