Removing objects from images is a challenging problem that is important for many applications, including mixed reality. For believable results, the shadows that the object casts should also be removed. Current inpainting-based methods only…
Shadow boundaries can be confused with material boundaries as both exhibit sharp changes in luminance or contrast within a scene. However, shadows do not modify the intrinsic color or texture of surfaces. Therefore, on both sides of shadow…
Shadow removal is still a challenging task due to its inherent background-dependent and spatial-variant properties, leading to unknown and diverse shadow patterns. Even powerful state-of-the-art deep neural networks could hardly recover…
