Abstract

This paper involves the review of the Shadow Detection and Removal in still images. No prior information has been used such as background images etc. for finding the shadows. It is a very challenging issue for the computer vision system that shadows effect the perception of artificial intelligence based machines in appropriately detecting the particular object as shadows also picked by them and detected as false positive objects. Also in surveillance, it affects the proper tracking of humans such as at airports. We proposed a method to remove shadows which eliminates the shadow much better than existed methods. RGB space has been used of the images and some morphological operations also applied to get better results.
