Shadow detection is critical for robust and reliable vision-based systems for traffic vision analysis. Shadow points are often misclassified as object points causing errors in loc...
In background subtraction, cast shadows induce silhouette distortions and object fusions hindering performance of high level algorithms in scene monitoring. We introduce a nonpara...
Illumination conditions cause problems for many computer vision algorithms. Inparticular, shadows in an image can cause segmentation, tracking, or recognition algorithms to fail. I...

Flash/noflash pairs have been used for noise-reduction in ambient-light images. But not explicitly studied is the problem of shadows in the ambient images. While shadows are less...
In this paper we present a technique for computing the direct lighting in a three-dimensional scene containing area light sources. Our method correctly handles partial visibility ...
