Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and computer readable storage medium

Abstract

The invention provides an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and a computer readable storage medium. The image processing apparatus acquires first image data obtained by capturing an image of a subject, second image data obtained by capturing images of a photographer and its surroundings, and third image data indicating an appearance of an image capturing apparatus that captures the image of the subject. The apparatus reduces reflections in the first image data using a learned machine learning model using the first image data, the second image data, and the third image data as input data.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and a computer-readable storage medium, and in particular, to a technique for removing reflections in a captured image. Background technique [0002] Images captured through glass and images of glossy subjects may include reflections from the photographer or surrounding objects. Such reflections may not only blur the intended subject, but also cause personal information to be leaked. [0003] In Tianfan Xue, Michael Rubinstein, Ce Liu, William T. Freeman, "AComputational Approach for Obstruction-Free Photography" (ACM Transactions onGraphics, vol. 34, no. 4 (Proc. SIGGRAPH), August 2015), describes Techniques for removing reflections in images captured through glass using visual parallax associated with background and foreground scenes. [0004] However, a limitation of the technique described in this patent document is that images of a scene having both a bac...
