SHADOW REMOVAL METHOD FOR IMAGE RECOGNITION AND APPARATUS USING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a shadow removal method for image recognition, and the shadow removal method for image recognition according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of separating each continuously input image frame into a foreground region and a background region, Extracting shadow candidate pixels using an algorithm for removing one or more shadows from the image frame, the foreground region and the background region separated from the image frame, weighting each of the extracted shadow candidate pixels according to the used algorithm And determining a final shadow pixel by applying and mixing shadow candidate pixels according to the applied weight, and removing the determined shadow pixel from the foreground region.
