ABSTRACT
Since shadows in a real picture imply the geometric constraint between lights, objects and viewpoint, the augmented reality using the picture should include the consistent shadows with the real situation. This paper proposes a method to remove shadows from a real picture based on the RGB color space analysis and shows experimental results of actual shadow removal and virtual shadow addition.

Simple shadow removal using shadow depth map and illumination-invariant feature
AbstractShadows included in images provide useful information for visual scene analysis, but are also factors that negatively affect digital image analysis. Therefore, shadow detection and removal must be considered essential in the preprocessing of the ...
Shadow Remover: Image Shadow Removal Based on Illumination Recovering Optimization
In this paper, we present a novel shadow removal system for single natural images as well as color aerial images using an illumination recovering optimization method. We first adaptively decompose the input image into overlapped patches according to the ...
Texture-Consistent Shadow Removal
ECCV '08: Proceedings of the 10th European Conference on Computer Vision: Part IVThis paper presents an approach to shadow removal that preserves texture consistency between the original shadow and lit area. Illumination reduction in the shadow area not only darkens that area, but also changes the texture characteristics there. We ...
