Patent EP-3596695-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SÁNCHEZ-MONGE ENRIQUE
IPC: G06T5/10
Filed: 2018-03-14
Abstract: Various techniques are disclosed for separating and removing low-frequency shadow or shading (also referred to herein as "non-uniformity") from images that have been corrupted by the non-uniformity. A non-uniformity estimate that approximates the non-uniformity effect on the corrupted image may be generated by iteratively adding new blotches of non-uniformity data represented by two-dimensional (2D) functions, such as 2D Gaussian functions, to the non-uniformity estimate and applying filters to smoothen the 2D functions. In each iteration of the non-uniformity estimate generation process, a new non-uniformity update candidate that minimizes a cost function is identified. The corrupted image is processed based on the non-uniformity estimate to generate a corrected image.
