Field crop extraction robust to illumination variations based on specularity learning

摘要

In this paper, we proposed an illumination-invariant crop extraction method based on specularity learning. Several useful contextual cues including object appearance and location inspired by recognition mechanism of human beings were introduced and integrated to machine learning architecture, generating a well-trained highlight region classifier. Combing with the Hue-intensity Look-up table and super-pixel techniques, the classifier gives the final extraction result. Comparing experiment confirmed the validity and feasibility of our method.
