Labeling and Separation of Semi-Reflected Scenes


Consider scenes deteriorated by reflections off a semi-reflecting medium (e.g, a glass window) that lies between the observer and an object. We present novel approaches to recover the superimposed scenes using two raw images.

In contrast to previous attempts, one of these methods is shown to automatically label the reconstructed scenes as reflected/transmitted. It also derives the inclination of the invisible (semi-reflecting) surface in space. The relevance to methods based on motion/stereo will be explained.

Joint work with Nahum Kiryati, Ronen Basri, and Joseph Shamir.
