The separation of diffuse and specular reflection components, or equivalently specularity
removal, is required in the fields of computer vision, object recognition and image synthesis …

The resolution of an optical microscope is restricted by the diffraction limit, which is
approximately 200 nm for a white light source. We report that sub-diffraction-limited objects …

Separating reflection components is a fundamental problem in computer vision and useful
for many applications such as image quality. We propose a novel method that improves the …

In this paper, we propose a novel and effective method for improving the accuracy of
separating reflection components in a single image based on the dichromatic reflection …

When unpolarised light is reflected from a smooth dielectric surface, it becomes partially
polarised. This is due to the orientation of dipoles induced in the reflecting medium and …

In this paper we show how to use blind source separation to estimate shape from polarised
images from a fixed viewing and illumination direction. Our method does not require prior …

The Monte Carlo technique is known as a flexible method for simulating the propagation of
light in skin tissues, 4, 5 The simulation is based on the random walks that photons make as …

The occurrence of highlights in digital photography is an unwanted phenomenon in
computer vision and image analysis. It overshadows the intrinsic color information of objects …

This chapter provides an extended overview on todayʼs optical materials, which are
commonly used for optical components and systems. In Sect. 5.1 the underlying physical …

This paper proposes a gonio-spectral imaging system for measuring light reflection on an
object surface by using two robot arms, a multi-band lighting system, and a monochrome …
