초록

본 논문에서는 다양한 조도의 영향에도 본질적인 특성이 변하지 않는 고유영상을 이용한 그림자 검출과 멀티 스케일 감마 보정 기반의 그림자 복원 방법을 제안하였다. 그림자 검출은 컬러 영상의 그레이스케일 영상과 고유영상 간의 화소 변화 정보를 이용하여 추정하였으며, 그림자 복원 과정에서는 감마 보정을 통해 영상의 밝기를 조절하는 방법을 적용하였다. 감마 보정은 개별적 화소값에 대한 비선형 조정으로 채도가 변경될 수 있으므로 컬러 영상의 채널별로 수행되는 멀티 스케일 감마 보정을 수행한다. 멀티 스케일 감마 값은 컬러 영상에서 그림자와 그림자가 아닌 영역의 교차 윤곽을 획득한 후 이 정보를 기반으로 추정되며, 결과적으로 서로 다른 유형의 영역 특징을 멀티 스케일 감마 값으로 보정하여 그림자를 복원하였다. 실험 결과, 제안하는 방법이 그림자가 포함된 단일 자연 영상에서 그림자를 효과적으로 복원함을 보였다.

In this paper, the shadow detection and reconstruction method are proposed using intrinsic image, which does not change the essential characteristics under the influence of various illuminance, and multi-scale gamma correction. The shadow detection was estimated by the pixel change information between a grayscale and an intrinsic image of the color image, and the brightness of the image were adjusted by gamma correction in the shadow restoration process. Multi-scale gamma correction is performed for each channel of a color image due to the fact that the saturation can be changed by nonlinear adjustment to individual pixel values. Multi-scale gamma values are estimated based on the information of the crossed edge between shadows and non-shadowed regions in the color image, as a result, the shadows are reconstructed by correcting different region features with multi-scale gamma values. Experimental results show that the proposed method effectively reconstructs shadows in a single natural image.
