I was at this conference dinner in a
fancy restaurant and the view from the restaurant window was amazing. I
flipped out my cell phone and clicked a few shots expecting to capture
an award winning photo but damn!! the window, reflection reflection
every where; and the lights outside the restaurant made it worse. A lot
of us are faced with such situations where we click pics through a
window. Professional photographers use extravagant techniques like
wrapping their camera lens with a dark cloth and all other mumbo-jumbo
but the common folk lacks such sophistication and ends up capturing a
sub standard memoir of their good times. These reflections are difficult
to remove even by a photoshop expert. Keeping in mind all these
problems, researchers at MIT have developed an algorithm to remove these
reflections. Now, when will this algorithm be included in commercially
available photo editing packages is a matter of speculation for us but
it should happen soon enough owing to the techniques usefulness.
Here is the link
for the original article published on the MIT News website and those of
you who are interested in understanding how this reflection removal
works check out the following original research articles by the lead
researcher.
