Reflection Removal for People Detection in Video Surveillance Applications

摘要

In this paper we present a method removing reflection of people on shiny floors in the context of people detection for video analysis applications. The method exploits chromatic properties of the reflections and does not require a geometric model of the objects. An experimental evaluation of the proposed method, performed on a significant database containing several publicly available videos, demonstrates its effectiveness. The proposed technique also favorably compares with respect to other state of the art algorithms for reflection removal.
