Binocular stereopsis is a powerful visual depth cue. To exploit it, the brain matches features from the two eyes' views and measures their interocular disparity. This works well for matte surfaces ...

Smooth surfaces, as polished, coated, or wet surfaces, produce specular reflections under unfavourable lighting conditions. Image processing algorithms, such as any correlation-based computation, may ...

Retinal image structure contains an entangled mixture of information about three-dimensional (3D) shape, surface reflectance and the illumination field. Although the veridical separation of these ...

Image reflection removal has emerged as a pivotal area in computer vision, addressing the challenge of disentangling the true scene (transmission layer) from undesired specular reflections when ...
