Reflection Removal with Varied Field of View Images

Abstract

Due to the presence of an additional glass pane between the camera and the scene, an additional reflection scene is captured in the image apart from the desired object sometimes. Images are more often captured from mobile handsets these days which have multiple cameras. This paper gives the advantage of multiple cameras. There exists a disparity and varied field of view when images are captured with multiple cameras. We use these two factors to act as a cue to remove reflection, as reflection intensity across the image pairs change with different field-of-view. The proposed method is robust and convenient to implement as it does not require an additional hardware, for example, light field camera for stereo images. Also, it does not make assumptions about the appearance or intensity of reflection.
