Interference reflection separation from a single image

The interference image is defined as the superpositioning of a reflection image and an object image. A technique for separating reflection and object components of a single interference image is presented. The proposed method classifies edges of the interference image into either reflection or object related. Our method utilizes total variation (TV) method, blur measure, and region segmentation as evidence with a fuzzy integral technique to classify the edge pixels. Based on the results of edge pixel classification, the reflection and object components of the input image are reconstructed. Compared to previous published research, the proposed method is fast and requires no manual operations. The experimental results have demonstrated that the proposed method can perform separation of a single interference image effectively with small misadjustments and rapid convergence.
