Lookup-Table-Based Gradient Field Reconstruction

Abstract: In computer vision there are many applications where it is advantageous to process an image in the gradient domain and then re-integrate the gradient field: important examples include shadow removal, lightness calculation and data fusion. A serious problem with this approach is that the reconstruction step often introduces artefacts -commonly, smoothed and smeared edges -to the recovered image. This is a result of the inherent ill-posedness of re-integrating a non-integrable field. Artefacts can be diminished,… Show more

“…In the first place, the pairs of resulting fields (p, q) in each colour channel are only approximately a gradient: one must decide on a reintegration scheme to go back from the domain of derivatives to that of images. A typical choice would be some form of Poisson solver, or other schemas (see [9]). However a more fundamental problem arises in that the time-complexity of the median operation in [1] is high, typically 30% of the CPU cycles of the complete Weiss algorithm [1] including Poisson reintegration in the Fourier domain [3], with overall clocktime of 60s for a 16-member colour image sequence of resolution 1704 × 2272 (on a 3.40 GHz PC with 8.00 GB and an i7-2600 CPU, in unoptimized Matlab).…”

“…One simple idea might be to run the algorithm on a thumbnail image, but then we would obtain a small and unusable reflectance image. In the next section, we show how to bring an innovative idea to bear (in the same flavour as that in [9]) so as to keep to a thumbnail for the reflectance calculation, but still make the algorithm work properly on a full-size image. The novel approach here is to replace reintegration itself by a much simpler method: regression on gradients.…”

“…Combining the information from several color channels into one scalar value is one of the basic operations in color processing [1][2][3]. A typical example is the separation of the color information into a scalar-valued intensity and a vectorvalued chromaticity component.…”
