摘要

Reflected light can be seen as a mixture of body reflection (diffuse component) and interface reflection (specular component). Applications using the diffuse reflection model assume Lambertian surfaces, and consider the specular reflection pixels as outliers. To recover or remove the highlights, a computational algorithm is used to separate the components in color space. In this paper, we generalize a polarization-based separation method to the case of multispectral images with K channels. A spectropolarimetric synthetic dataset of 10 scenes, including diffuse and specular reference images, is made available for both RGB and multispectral modalities. We found that our spectral adaptation qualitatively and quantitatively improves the separation results as compared to the RGB version. We also propose an algorithm optimization to reduce the computation time without sacrificing image quality.
