Shadow removal aims at restoring the image content within shadow regions, pursuing a uniform distribution of illumination that is consistent between shadow and non-shadow regions. {Comparing to other image restoration tasks, there are two…
The requirement for paired shadow and shadow-free images limits the size and diversity of shadow removal datasets and hinders the possibility of training large-scale, robust shadow removal algorithms. We propose a shadow removal method that…
Shadows often create unwanted artifacts in photographs, and removing them can be very challenging. Previous shadow removal methods often produce de-shadowed regions that are visually inconsistent with the rest of the image. In this work we…
Shadow removal from a single image is generally still an open problem. Most existing learning-based methods use supervised learning and require a large number of paired images (shadow and corresponding non-shadow images) for training. A…
Shadows are frequently encountered natural phenomena that significantly hinder the performance of computer vision perception systems in practical settings, e.g., autonomous driving. A solution to this would be to eliminate shadow regions…
Portrait images often suffer from undesirable shadows cast by casual objects or even the face itself. While existing methods for portrait shadow removal require training on a large-scale synthetic dataset, we propose the first unsupervised…

Intrinsic image decomposition, which is an essential task in computer vision, aims to infer the reflectance and shading of the scene. It is challenging since it needs to separate one image into two components. To tackle this, conventional…
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 removal is to restore shadow regions to their shadow-free counterparts while leaving non-shadow regions unchanged. State-of-the-art shadow removal methods train deep neural networks on collected shadow & shadow-free image pairs,…
Image shadow removal is a crucial task in computer vision. In real-world scenes, shadows alter image color and brightness, posing challenges for perception and texture recognition. Traditional and deep learning methods often overlook the…
Shadows can originate from occlusions in both direct and indirect illumination. Although most current shadow removal research focuses on shadows caused by direct illumination, shadows from indirect illumination are often just as pervasive,…
